Introducing a new learning platform for Language Model.

#llm #machinelearning #resources #ai

After mode than decades building stuff (startups, internal tools, side projects), and watching AI go from “weird paper from Google” to “this thing might actually replace my job,” I started getting frustrated with how disconnected most AI content is from actual understanding.

So I made LMPath on several weekeends. It’s not another wrapper for ChatGPT or some generic AI course with surface-level fluff. This is for people who actually want to understand how this shit works.

So without a further a do, without some make up. This is it. I try to be direct of what it is to not waste your time.

What it is

  • Real explanations (how transformers/GPT actually work, not just “type prompt, get magic”)
  • Based on the original papers (Attention Is All You Need, GPT-3, RAG, etc.)
  • Geared for devs — no insane math walls, just enough to get the core ideas

What it’s NOT

  • It’s not a business guide or “how to start an AI startup”
  • It’s not a full-blown ML course — fast.ai and others already nailed that

What’s working so far

  • Dark mode (duh)
  • Auto-progress tracking (pick up where you left off)
  • Smart breadcrumbs
  • Chapter progress bars
  • Deep linking to share a specific part of a lesson

What’s missing

  • Only 2 courses live for now (Intro to LMs, RAG systems)
  • No in-browser coding yet
  • No advanced stuff like training dynamics or distributed inference
  • I’m building it solo, so yeah, takes time

What’s coming

  • Hands-on coding labs (real transformer code, not just theory)
  • In-lesson Q&A assistant
  • More courses: fine-tuning, embedding, transformers internals
  • Practice problems (so you’re not just reading and forgetting)

Why I built it
Because I needed this. I wanted something between “LLMs are magic!” and “here’s a 200-page derivation of self-attention.” I needed to know how things worked so I could build better stuff. Maybe you’re in the same boat.

Anyway, it’s free for now. Please check this out LMPath Feedback is very welcome, especially if something’s confusing for you. That’s where the best fixes come from.
