The FT has a pretty good article explaining how transformers work at a high level.

Thanks for sharing -- this was very helpful in reinforcing and improving my basic understanding of LLMs.

This reads more like Awesome LLM list, rather than a course. But very useful nonetheless!

The linked articles (also written by mlabonne) provide excellent foundational information. Overall, it’s a great resource!

Related -- There are many good learning resources, but surprisingly no good quizzes.

I put together a quiz on LLM basics for absolute beginners. I made this for an "Intro to LLMs" class I taught for non-CS folks. The questions are all multiple-choice or true/false. They contain plausible-sounding but wrong options, so these will trip up those who don't yet have a solid understanding.

It may be useful for those just starting to learn about LLMs, to test their understanding. It is a google form, but emails are not collected.

Thank you for sharing! I'm getting started on a Learn in Public journey about LLMs using LLMs on lower end hardware and this will be a great resource.

Any actually good courses from reputable universities?

It might look overwhelming at first sight, but it feels shallow if you've been in the field before 2020. Maybe that's enough for kids these days.

Damn these kids keep stepping on MY lawn and the god damn time!.

Ah yes. Anyone who wasn't in field in 2019 is a kid. Truly.
