Don't waste 2 years learning to use LLMs like Claude & ChatGPT.

Andrej Karpathy, the godfather of AI, dropped a 2 hour course on how he personally uses LLMs daily.

• 00:00 - LLMs simplified
• 22:49 - which LLM to actually use
• 42:00 - one prompt for full research
• 1:13:57 - how to code with LLMs
• 1:37:04 - NotebookLM podcast generation

This course will teach you more about using LLMs than most AI engineers learn in their entire career.

Bookmark this & give 2 hours today, no matter what. Then read the article below.

Before you spend $2,000 on an AI course, read this.

A lot of people are buying expensive AI courses right now.
But honestly, most of them don’t need to.

Some of the best AI learning resources in the world are already free. And they’re not built by self-proclaimed AI experts online.They’re created by the companies actually building the models, chips, tools, and infrastructure behind this entire AI wave.

If you want to learn AI properly, it makes sense to learn directly from the source.

But before that, Check out 100+ such resources shared in this community of 200K+ AI/ML Engineers: https://t.co/1551GLLSyi

If you’re serious about learning AI, the biggest difference usually comes from consistency, not another course.

I created a GitHub Repository to learn AI Engineering, and I'm excited to share that it crossed 4500 stars recently.

It contains some of the best free courses, articles, tutorials, and videos to learn:
- Mathematical Foundations
- AI & ML Fundamentals
- Deep Learning and Specializations
- Generative AI
- Large Language Models (LLMs)
- Prompt Engineering Guides
- RAG, Agents and MCP

Check it out here: https://t.co/7aZKWJg4Mp

If you find the repo valuable, consider giving it a⭐ and share with others.

#Tokenization is undeniably a key player in the success story of #LLMs but we poorly understand why.
I want to highlight progress we made in understanding the role of tokenization, developing the core incidents and mitigating its problems. 🧵👇

Random matrices are very important in modern statistics and machine learning, not to mention physics

A model about which much less is known is uniformly sampled matrices from the set of doubly stochastic matrices: Uniformly Distributed Stochastic Matrices

@PascalFreson @Chaos_Be Je serais plus nuancé : si tu veux le salaire d'un député fédéral, tu dois connaître les devoirs et le comportement attendus d'un élu ; et bien entendu la dureté des réactions. Le MR et son Président se permettent tout, ceux qui les rejoignent le savent...
