Change log
- : Initial recorded review of official program details. · Source
- : Publishing-day recheck of the official Coursera page captured from the United States on 13 October 2026: the "Skills you'll gain" list now shows 12 skills, so topics were updated and the summary no longer names generative model architectures; duration, courses, price state, prerequisites and certificate unchanged. · Source
