What you'll learn
- Deploy Ollama on a Linux server
- Run open-weight LLMs privately
- Build a ChatGPT-style interface with Open WebUI
- Move AI workloads from CPU to GPU
- Rent and configure GPU infrastructure
- Install and configure OpenClaw
- Build autonomous agentic AI workflows
- Connect AI agents to Telegram
Running powerful AI models doesn't have to mean relying on expensive APIs or giving your data to someone else.
In this course, you'll build a complete self-hosted AI stack from an empty Linux server using modern open-source tools.
You'll install Ollama, serve open-weight models through Open WebUI, and learn how to run everything on infrastructure you control. Then you'll migrate the same setup to a rented GPU to experience the dramatic performance gains that hardware acceleration can provide.
Finally, you'll take things further by deploying OpenClaw as an autonomous AI agent, giving it the ability to perform tasks and interact through Telegram.
By the end of the course, you'll have a fully functioning private AI platform running on your own infrastructure—ready to extend, experiment with, and make entirely your own.
Wait... What's a Byte?
Bytes are shorter courses that allow you to upgrade your skills and knowledge in a single day!
Learning is hard. And sometimes you just need a quick learning fix, right? To learn something awesome, interesting, and relevant to your career goals.
That's why we've created Bytes.
What Else Should I Know?
By becoming a ZTM member you'll not only get access to all our courses, bytes, and projects.
But you’ll also get to join our exclusive live online community classroom to learn alongside thousands of students, alumni, mentors, TAs and Instructors.
Most importantly, you'll be learning from an industry professional (Andrei) that has actual real-world experience working with AI. He teaches you the exact strategies and techniques he uses in his role.
Finally, as with all ZTM courses, this course is a living thing. It will be constantly updated as the landscape changes so you can use it as your go-to resource for the Ollama and OpenClaw now and throughout your career.
Join 1,000s of Zero To Mastery graduates that have gotten hired and are now working at companies like Google, Tesla, Amazon, Apple, IBM, JP Morgan, Facebook, Shopify + other top tech companies.
They come from all different backgrounds, ages, and experiences. Many even started as complete beginners.
So there's no reason it can't be you too.
And you have nothing to lose. Because you can start learning right now and if this course isn't everything you expected, we'll refund you 100% within 30 days. No hassles and no questions asked.
I would recommend Andrei's ZTM courses to anyone who wants to learn web dev inside and out. His Junior to Senior course even helped me land my job at Tesla. They asked a lot of security questions in my interview and I answered them thanks to this course.
