There's a shocking fact about AI that nobody tells you: You can catch up to the public AI research frontier in just 2 weeks. Yes, really.

I've built a $150M annual revenue startup over the last 8 years and If I were to start a company today, I’d drop everything and go all-in on AI.

But like many busy software builders, I felt lost—overwhelmed by the noisy, crowded and fast-moving modern AI landscape. And I wasn’t alone.

So I spent my entire holiday diving deep into AI research—reading 30+ papers, watching hours of lectures, analyzing trends, and catching up to the research frontier.

✨ Here’s what I learned:
- You don’t need months (or years) to catch up.
- You don’t need a PhD or decades of ML experience.
- You need fewer than 20 papers and 2 weeks to understand the major breakthroughs shaping AI today.

It's because the technology is extremely nascent and most techniques that came before are no longer relevant:
- ChatGPT is barely 2 years old and Transformers are only 7 years old.
- Most game-changing discoveries happened within the last 4 years, driven by a few breakthrough ideas, scaling laws, and efficient matrix multiplication.

The biggest secret?
Many groundbreaking AI papers with thousands of citations are surprisingly simple and applied, like adding "let's think step by step" to the prompt, or simply asking the LLM over and over again to improve its answer (Self-Refine).

I realized there are tons of founders and builders in the same boat—wanting to dive deeper into AI but unsure where to start.

I've created an essential AI Guide that helped me catch up, in just 2 weeks, to the frontier of public AI research to figure out where the next opportunities and gaps were:
- Curated list of only the most important papers
- Simple explanations of key concepts
- Clear pathway to understanding the frontier of modern AI

It’s perfect for:
- Founders expanding into AI
- Builders wanting to innovate at the frontier of AI
- Investors looking to separate the signal from the noise

(ps, I’m also teaming up with @VishalVasishth, co-founder of @obviousvc with @ev (focused on large-scale societal impact companies like Twitter, Medium, Beyond Meat), to host a small meetup to discuss what's working and needs to be solved in the AI stack in SF. Message me if you're interested)

@ProgramadorVzla @levelsio Not Putin's fault if windows are so dangerous in Russian federation.

@levelsio "It depends". Or your could buy farmland with a eu-subsidized mortgage at a fixed rate of 1.5% and a nice country house to fix. Definitely not financial advice 🤣🤣🤣

@levelsio Php pays the bills. Tools are just means to an end: the stonemasons just hits the stones, doesn't argue with fellows about the best/worst tool for each task

@levelsio Hate him or love him, but it's hard to hide the curiosity for what the guy is going to come up with next. Although, the recent Twitter re-brand coupled with recent news of stacking unpaid bills sound a lot like a Phoenix company https://t.co/iAJsBIDUqU.

@levelsio Tool dont matter ad long ad it gets job done. Sometimes, even grammar can be thrown out the window as means to an end.

@ArielleCPX @travmilne I think ebay is doing a pretty good job these days at generating traffic, at least here in Europe. Somehow it makes sense to still sell on ebay, especially if you're in a small country and need to take advantage of all marketplaces.
Also eBay SEO seems easier than amz seo
