What you need first

Module 4 (bge-small vectors, the cached and versioned embedder, recall and MRR on the labelled questions)
Module 3 Lesson 3 (metadata beside chunks) helps; the lab builds chunk rows itself
Python classes and NumPy arrays
No model keys: every model here runs locally. On a Mac, read "FAISS and PyTorch together" in course-guide/02

This course is bought on its own, once, and stays readable afterwards, including the parts added to it later.
