You will deliver 90-minute sessions, demonstrate JSON schema validation, streaming tokens, retries with backoff, and how to monitor usage in learners’ logs.

Qualifications

• Hands-on use of model APIs in production code: structured output, tool calling, streaming, retries and usage tracking.

Responsibilities

• Teach the live class “Get validated JSON from a model API with structured output and tool calls”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Stream, retry and track the cost of model API calls in a backend service”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how a JSON schema and a tool definition shape the response, how to validate it in code, and what to do when the output is cut off at the token limit.
• Walk learners through streaming tokens to a client, measuring time to first token, logging token counts per request and estimating what each feature costs to run.
• Help learners hit by 429 responses, timeouts or server errors, by adding retries with backoff and jitter, honoring retry‑after headers and keeping keys out of client code.
