I've done 40+ LLM courses. Most were a waste.

These 4 weren't:

Karpathy's Zero to Hero
How LLMs actually work. Build GPT from scratch. Non-negotiable foundation.
→ https://t.co/zYTiiKJHIg

OpenAI Cookbook
Production patterns. API best practices. Copy what ships.
→https://t.co/ypqRnNveXe

Hugging Face NLP Course
Transformers, fine-tuning, hands-on. Where theory meets code.
→ https://t.co/dHJadh8xRq

https://t.co/TFyYFfzFOG Short Courses
Bite-sized builds. Pick what you need, skip what you don't.
→ https://t.co/wYoF4XPITc

What I'd skip:

→ $2,000 bootcamps (same content, worse pacing)
→ 40-hour "comprehensive" courses (bloated with filler)
→ Anything that starts with "What is AI?" (you're past that)
→ YouTube rabbit holes (no structure, no accountability)

The pattern:

Foundation (Karpathy) → Patterns (OpenAI) → Depth (HuggingFace) → Application (https://t.co/TFyYFfzFOG)

That's the sequence. Everything else is noise.

Save for your next "where do I actually start with LLMs" spiral
Repost to save someone from another $2,000 bootcamp
