I finally understand how large language models actually work
After reading the 2025 textbook “Foundations of LLMs”
It blew my mind and cleared up years of confusion
Here’s everything i learned (in plain english):
Learn neural networks by building them. This course (2M+ views) takes you from fundamentals to constructing a complete GPT-like language model from scratch.
Milestone! disclass.com just crossed 3,000 visitors and 100+ signups. A single Reddit post about my “Nano Banana” AI image editing mini‑course pulled 10k+ views. Build in public works.
Built disclass.com last month: AI turns curated YouTube videos into mini‑courses. We just hit 100+ users and 100 user-created courses. Top one right now teaches Google’s “Nona Banana” AI image editing. Want to check it out & give feedback?
I built 36 projects in last 14 months, with AI code.
Today, I'm sharing my Coding Docs with you.
I use these 7-docs in Cursor/Windsurf to build a knowledge base for AI models.

The problem with learning online today is not the lack of content. It’s finding a distraction free classroom environment that encourages completion. Most humans are not motivated enough to avoid every funny video placed along the way from episode 1 to 300 of a series on coding.
I am genuinely impressed
Google has quietly released “Learn about” a genius new AI tool:
You can enter any topic you want to learn and you'll be able to dive right in VERY easily.
It suggests the related aspects, simplifies, illustrates, etc. More below:
