Just finished the first video of Andrej Karpathy’s “zero to hero” series… wow, he definitely has a well-deserved reputation for being an excellent educator. Highly recommend this series for anybody who wants to understand LLMs to the point of being able to build one 👌

Dad, dev • @dune.eth wizard • I'm just zis guy, you know? • Opinions are always my own and don't represent my employer's view on anything.

how long did it take you to finish the series? any prerequisites?

Can’t hurt. Eventually you’ll fill in the gaps!

thank you for this detailed response, I’m doing a self-guided crash course on machine learning right now. don’t have too much formal programming experience but not completely new either. think I’ll still go through some basics of building a model before starting this series

I just started last night (I like to go hard on my Saturday nights 😎).

I found it very easy to follow, but I’m a huge nerd. If you have a basic sense of calculus and an intermediate understanding of any programming language you can probably follow along. Bonus if you have a vague understanding of neural networks. He literally goes from zero to a binary classifier in 2.5 hours well enough that I think I could build it myself now without minimal outside help.
