If you want to go from prompt user โ real AI engineer, study these 9 concepts in order:
1๏ธโฃ Transformers โ attention, tokens, self-attention basics
https://t.co/65pkMfS4og
2๏ธโฃ Transformer tricks โ what makes them stable & scalable
https://t.co/mnUQYpQ9q2
3๏ธโฃ From Transformers โ LLMs โ how scale changes behavior
https://t.co/uXOVnCsmGA
4๏ธโฃ LLM training โ where โintelligenceโ actually emerges
https://t.co/RFkBljQ8Pi
5๏ธโฃ Instruction tuning & alignment โ why fine-tuning matters
https://t.co/nmZB6JE0NK
6๏ธโฃ LLM reasoning โ why models fail + what improves them
https://t.co/UY8V9bZjAU
7๏ธโฃ Agentic LLMs โ models that plan, call tools, and act
https://t.co/EZbxuxBimR
8๏ธโฃ LLM evaluation โ measure beyond demos & vibes
https://t.co/yZ4Uig7uGw
9๏ธโฃ Whatโs next โ trends that actually matter
Bookmark this. Study step-by-step. Your prompts will level up โ and so will your builds.

Anthropic Engineer Andrej Karpathy dropped a full 6-hour course on how to build LLMs from scratch and use it:
โข 00:00 - Deep dive into LLMs
โข 03:31:23 - Building ChatGPT from scratch
โข 05:27:43 - How to use LLMs (Karpathy method)
This course can replace a $150K Stanford LLM senior degree.

I HAVEN'T OPENED CLAUDE AT MIDNIGHT SINCE I BUILT THIS FOLDER
I used to wake up, check what broke overnight, fix it by hand
-> now I wake up and the receipts are already sitting there, dated, graded, waiting on my review
here's what's actually inside the folder that replaced me:
โข the contract
> CONTRACT.md - the shift rules, committed to the repo
> contract.local.md - my personal overrides, gitignored
โข the harness (.claude/loops/)
> settings.json - spend caps and timeouts, set once and forgotten
> schedule.yml - when the next shift fires
> rubrics/ - code.md, writing.md, safety.md - graders that catch what I'd miss on a bad night
> pr-hunter/ - plan.md wakes it up, https://t.co/VUDfqGE1Fp does the actual work
โข the state
> receipts/ - one folder per shift, 5,382 kept and counting
> trace.log - exactly what happened, zero guessing
> checkpoint.json - resumes right where the last shift stopped
โข the edges
> https://t.co/agzjvw6VbF - the panic switch, still untouched
> .mcp.json - the exact tools it's allowed near
the folder wakes up so I don't have to
Andrej Karpathy spent 8 years at OpenAI and Tesla
Last week, he put everything he knows into one free 2-hour lecture
People pay $15k for bootcamps that teach half of this
You probably don't have 2 hours right now
Don't let this get lost in your feed
Watch it, then read the guide below and build your first loop

These case studies provide a strong foundation for learning how to design scalable, reliable, fault-tolerant, and high-performance distributed systems used by modern technology companies.
This is literally the only book you need to build applications with foundation models.
I read all 532 pages (so you don't have to).
Here are the key points:

Is your RAG system a paperweight?
It is if it can't handle a simple follow-up question.
Building basic RAG is easy. The real challenge is engineering systems that go beyond simple retrieval and actually do more with your data. This is how you build a RAG pipeline that can think, reason, and adapt.
Here's how advanced ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ถ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐ transform your RAG pipeline:
๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ง๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐ (๐๐ผ๐ง): Instead of jumping to an answer, the model breaks down complex queries into intermediate steps, making the LLM "show its work."
๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ-๐ผ๐ณ-๐ง๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐๐ (๐ง๐ผ๐ง): Takes reasoning further by exploring multiple paths simultaneously. The system generates several potential solutions and evaluates which is most promising. This is how you systematically weigh different pieces of evidence from multiple retrieved documents.
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ (๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๐ด + ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด): This framework lets the system *think* and *act* dynamically. It can reason about what information it needs, act to retrieve it, and then reason again based on what it found.
But beyond prompting, you need to fix your retrieval, too.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด & ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Before hitting your vector database, change that vague user question into something your retrieval system can actually work with. This isn't just about synonyms, it's about understanding intent.
๐๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Move beyond basic search. Think hybrid search (combining similarity and keyword), metadata filtering, and multi-step retrieval for complex queries.
This is where it really gets interesting: ๐๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐๐.
AI agents can reformulate queries on the fly, re-retrieve information if initial results miss the mark, and handle queries requiring multi-step reasoning across multiple documents. Moving from a one-shot solution with no reasoning into an intelligent system that thinks, reasons, and adapts.
