I have fond memories of cs224d [1] taught by richardsocher. It’s a bit dated at this point as it was created in the pre-transformer era, but it was a very cool introduction to applying deep learning to nlp at the time. [1] https://cs224d.stanford.edu
> GPU compute for self-study Those suggestions they make for a B200 start at $4.99 an hour. Is that really required, for starting out? I've been tinkering with my own from-scratch LLM, but in the early phases I don't need anything more than a 4090 on Vast.ai

A want like a casual lesswrong style from ground up explanation.
I wonder if people prefer to learn this on their own or if building a community around open learning is something that others are interested in
Would be great to have a community to discuss the material - even if folks can't commit to the full course.

It seems strange that the required resources aren't provided by the educational institution?

We were lucky enough to get Blackwell GPUs for Stanford students this year, which is why the writeups are written mostly around them.
