What is "ChatGPT"? How does it work? How is this related to all the other buzzwords? "transformers", "large language models", "autoregressive decoding"... Let's break all this down.

This class is a "how it works" course that shows you how ChatGPT works from the inside out. In particular, we cover the general technology -- more broadly called "Large Language Models". We’ll cover many topics and takeaways:

What Large Language Models are, and how they relate to ChatGPT
How neural networks process and generate text
Concepts for processing language like word2vec
How a transformer processes and generates text of any length
Critical concepts in transformers, such as autoregressive decoding

This class does not require any prior knowledge but does assume you've taken my Artificial Intelligence for Beginners course. Regardless of your background, you’ll walk away with the fundamentals for discussing and learning more about Large Language Models.
