Don't waste 2 years learning to build LLMs like Claude & ChatGPT.
Stanford just dropped a 2 hour 34 min course on how to build LLMs from scratch.
• 00:00 - LLM tokenization
• 25:44 - how LLMs decode user prompts
• 35:40 - training pipeline of LLMs
• 1:16:47 - LLM architecture from scratch
Anthropic pays $750,000/year to engineers who understand this exact knowledge of LLMs.

Run a Simulation before placing your next Polymarket bet - Сode included.
The Monte Carlo method is hyped across Polymarket Quants right now.
But only a few knows how to apply it correctly to different situations on PM to run a simulation based on it.
Run these 4 simulations before placing your next bet:
> Sequential Monte Carlo simulation
Used for dynamic simulation when a market has several parameters, and each of them can affect the result
• Logit random walk formula:
logit(xₜ) = logit(xₜ₋₁) + εₜ, where εₜ ~ N(0, σ²_process)
//
> Tail events simulation
Tail events - events with very low probability, and they’re hard to simulate reliably.
However, you can’t ignore them.
• Formula for estimating a tail event probability:
p̂_IS = (1/N) Σ_{i=1..N} 1{X_i ∈ A} · w(X_i), with X_i ~ Q
//
> Correlated markets outcomes simulation:
Tail dependence: markets co-move much more in extremes than correlation implies.
• Upper tail dependence formula:
λ_U = limit as u → 1⁻ of P(Y > FY⁻¹(u) | X > FX⁻¹(u))
• Lower tail dependence formula:
λ_L = limit as u → 0⁺ of P(Y ≤ FY⁻¹(u) | X ≤ FX⁻¹(u))
//
> Agent-Based simulation
Prediction markets have different agents: informed traders, noise traders, market makers, and bots.
Despite irrational traders, prices still tend to converge to fair value over time.
Run an agent-based simulation to filter out agent-driven noise.
Read the full article to learn how to run your first prediction-market simulation in a few simple steps.
2025 is going to be a wild year.
Today, Apollo published their list of biggest market risks for 2025.
Between potential Fed rate HIKES, a recession in China, and a 40% chance of the 10Y note yield at 5.0%, 2025 will be volatile.
Here's a breakdown of their risks.

What is happening in China?
Just days ago, China announced MASSIVE economic stimulus as their economy crashed.
Now, retail investors are piling into stocks like pandemic-era stimulus is back.
Something is seriously wrong in China and it's too late for stimulus.

China is panicking.
In fact, China is showing 2008-like signs as they are on the brink of a severe recession.
Over the last 2 days, China has begun Pandemic-level stimulus, as seen during lockdowns in 2020.
Is China dragging the global economy into a recession?

Since the 1920s, If the S&P 500 rises in the 3 months leading up to an election the incumbent President has won 87% of the time
Since 1984: 100% of the time

For a day and a half, the narrative around inflation has been desperate to tear down the January CPI report.
I believe this is wrong, and the economy is "no landing," and inflation has already bottomed (or very close to it) around 3% to 4%.
This is a problem for the bond market as it suggests that the neutral funds rate is 4% to 5% (explained below). This means the Fed has not broken anything and is not that restrictive, which is why the economy is "no landing," and inflation is sticking around 3%.
A long-ish contrarian🧵to explain and push back against the consensus thinking.
