Introduction to Large Language Models
A remarkably dense, hype-free 60-minute mental model of what an LLM actually is—two files on disk (weights + inference code) shaped by pretraining compression and post-training alignment.
Comprehensive technical overview of LLM pretraining, supervised finetuning, RLHF, scaling laws, tool use, multimodal architectures, and LLM security.
