Ethical Hacker by day; Love Coding and being obsessed with learning AI by night. Learning and and posting about AI till I get a job offer as AI engineer ๐ค๐ฆพ.
We are currently chasing to automate everything and let AI orchestrate AI aka get the human layer out of the loop. "Why Software factories Fail" is a very interesting read by @dexhorthy on why this might be problematic and shows experiments why this might not work - check it out: https://t.co/oXeq3Qgzyo

I want to highlight a resource that I think is genuinely valuable for anyone learning machine learning: ML-From-Scratch.
Most of us learn ML by using libraries like scikit-learn or PyTorch, which is the right way to build things quickly, but it can leave gaps in understanding why an algorithm works. This repository takes the opposite approach => every algorithm is implemented in plain NumPy, prioritizing clarity over performance, so you can trace the underlying math directly.
It covers a wide range of the curriculum you'd expect to see in an ML course - linear and logistic regression, decision trees, random forest, gradient boosting, XGBoost, SVM, and naive bayes on the supervised side; k-means, DBSCAN, PCA, and Gaussian mixture models on the unsupervised side. It also goes further, with a small deep learning framework (convolutional, pooling, batch normalization, dropout, and RNN layers), a working GAN, and a Deep Q-Network trained on CartPole-v1.
If you've completed a course on these algorithms and want to solidify your understanding by reading working implementations end to end, I'd recommend spending time with this repository.
It's a good complement to theory => 32k stars, MIT licensed, and entirely in Python.

"ML Maxima" is an interesting interactive resource for approaching the foundations of AI and machine learning through animated visualizations and concise explanations.
The site explores activation functions, initialization methods, optimizers, network architectures, loss functions, and normalization techniques through clean animated graphs that make many abstract concepts much easier to understand intuitively.
It is a practical and well-designed introduction to several core machine learning concepts.

Dive into Claude Code: The Design Space of Today's and Future AI Agent Systems
The paper explains the architecture of a modern production-grade AI agent system (Claude Code) by analyzing its source code. This is what they call a "harness" of an agentic coding system.

Yann LeCun was right the entire time. And generative AI might be a dead end.
For the last three years, the entire industry has been obsessed with building bigger LLMs. Trillions of parameters. Billions in compute.
The theory was simple: if you make the model big enough, it will eventually understand how the world works.
Yann LeCun said that was stupid.
He argued that generative AI is fundamentally inefficient.
When an AI predicts the next word, or generates the next pixel, it wastes massive amounts of compute on surface-level details.
It memorizes patterns instead of learning the actual physics of reality.
He proposed a different path: JEPA (Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture).
Instead of forcing the AI to paint the world pixel by pixel, JEPA forces it to predict abstract concepts. It predicts what happens next in a compressed "thought space."
But for years, JEPA had a fatal flaw.
It suffered from "representation collapse."
Because the AI was allowed to simplify reality, it would cheat. It would simplify everything so much that a dog, a car, and a human all looked identical.
It learned nothing.
To fix it, engineers had to use insanely complex hacks, frozen encoders, and massive compute overheads.
Until today.
Researchers just dropped a paper called "LeWorldModel" (LeWM).
They completely solved the collapse problem.
They replaced the complex engineering hacks with a single, elegant mathematical regularizer.
It forces the AI's internal "thoughts" into a perfect Gaussian distribution.
The AI can no longer cheat. It is forced to understand the physical structure of reality to make its predictions.
The results completely rewrite the economics of AI.
LeWM didn't need a massive, centralized supercomputer.
It has just 15 million parameters.
It trains on a single, standard GPU in a few hours.
Yet it plans 48x faster than massive foundation world models. It intrinsically understands physics. It instantly detects impossible events.
We spent billions trying to force massive server farms to memorize the internet.
Now, a tiny model running locally on a single graphics card is actually learning how the real world works.

The days of "fancy AI orchestrators" and rigid n8n workflows are over.
This clip of @bcherny at @lennysan's podcast is super important for both agent builders and users.
1. You get better results by just giving the model tools, a goal, and letting it figure out the path itself.
2. Don't box the model in. There's no need to dump a ton of context into a prompt up front anymore. The model should be pulling what it needs with tools.
3. Read Rich Sutton's "The bitter lesson", the idea that the more general model will always outperform the more specific one in the long run.
Every human-engineered shortcut eventually gets leapfrogged by scale + generality. The Claude Code team literally uses this as a guiding principle.
Let the agents run.
๐จ Zero โ AI Engineer in 6 Months (From fundamentals to building your AI Portfolio All for FREE)
Most people ask me this :
Where do I actually PRACTICE AI instead of just watching videos?
Here's the honest answer ๐
You don't learn AI by jumping between random tools. You learn it by building systems in the right order.
