+We’re excited to announce a new course on DeepLearning.AI's platform: [Retrieval Optimization: From Tokenization to Vector Quantization](https://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/retrieval-optimization-from-tokenization-to-vector-quantization/?utm_campaign=qdrant-launch&utm_medium=qdrant&utm_source=partner-promo). This collaboration between Qdrant and DeepLearning.AI aims to empower developers and data enthusiasts with the skills needed to enhance search capabilities in their applications.
+
+Led by Qdrant’s Kacper Łukawski, this free, one-hour course is designed for beginners eager to delve into the world of retrieval optimization.
+
+## Why This Collaboration Matters
+
+At Qdrant, we believe in the power of effective search to transform user experiences. Partnering with DeepLearning.AI allows us to combine our cutting-edge vector search technology with their educational expertise, providing learners with a comprehensive understanding of how to build and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. This course is part of our commitment to equip the community with practical skills that leverage advanced machine learning techniques.
