I can't recommend enough the whole series, zero to hero: https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html

No metaphors trying explain "complex" ideas, making them scary and seem overly complex. Instead, hands on implementations with analogy explainers where you can actually understand the ideas and see how simple it is.

Steeper learning curve at first but it is much more satisfying and you actually earn the ability to reason about this stuff instead of writing over the top influencer BS.



One thing I like about that zero-to-hero series is how he almost never handwave over seemingly minor details.

Definitely recommend watching those videos and doing the exercises, if you have any interest in how LLMs work.


Thanks for this link - I have some free time coming up, and this seems like a great use of it!
