| I got his book Build Your Own LLM From Scratch and it's super readable and does a great job at holding your hand through the entire process...need to finish reading it though! |

| Highly recommended! Sebastian does a great job explaining complex AI topics in a very intuitive way. |

| I'm a bit confused as to who this is for - apart from learning how the tech works that is. If you're truly going to build your own model (and commit to the cost of that), then video tutorials will not cut it. And if you don't really, then I wonder if this is really the best style of conveying the information you'd be interested in? I mean I might be wrong and maybe this helps emerging players or something like that, but to me it is more likely that this is more of a monetisation strategy of a personal brand. Living off selling to people that think they _should_ but then in the end don't. |

Maybe not frontier models. Maybe not close to the others in generalized benchmarks. But perhaps they could be really specialized into solving one particular problem better than the others. | |

| ▲ | hypfer 4 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I think you actually do and that is exactly what resulted in this style of reply. It's a critique of the people and the lack of substance. But not of the author. The author is highly capable. |

| ▲ | CamperBob2 17 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | If you're truly going to build your own model (and commit to the cost of that), then video tutorials will not cut it. That makes no sense. It's like saying if you want an engineering degree, going to lectures will not cut it. Of course not, you have to do the homework and projects too. | | |
| ▲ | hypfer 15 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Yeah but if it is not all that useful, why is it saying that it is "from scratch" and what is it doing on #1 of the front page? Something is off here. It indeed makes no sense | | |
| ▲ | LoadbearingGun 13 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Then you're not the target audience. This is intended for people who like learning things. | | |
| ▲ | hypfer 7 minutes ago | parent [-] | | You're right about me not being the target audience, but you're wrong about the second sentence I think. The target audience of this is for people that like to _think_ they're doing stuff by paying for it, to then not do anything. It's a purchase of an identity, basically. Which.. I guess is fine as something to cover Sebastian's expenses to enable him to keep delivering this free stuff. If you want to take money from someone, taking from this group is likely the most ethical thing to do. |
