Stanford's new CS329Z Engineering AI Agents course has published its lectures daily on YouTube and open-sourced both assignment repositories under the MIT license. The first assignment asks students to build a Claude Code-style agent harness from scratch without any agent framework, covering tool-call format design, BM25 retrieval, context compaction and a sandboxed terminal, with reference solutions running the full online test suite for about $0.05.

    Stanford Releases Full CS329Z Agent Engineering Course Materials

    • Lectures roll out daily on the Stanford Online YouTube channel, and both assignment repos are MIT-licensed for reuse with attribution
    • The first assignment bans agent frameworks, providing only a raw text-in/text-out interface so tool calls, context management and a sandboxed terminal must be built by hand
    • Of the 88 auto-graded points, 48 come from tests that never call a model; reference solutions cost $0.05 for online tests and $0.18 for the simulated-user evaluation
