  1. What Is Machine LearningLearn the rule from examples instead of writing it.4m
  2. Training vs InferenceLearn once, slowly. Answer many times, fast.4m
  3. EmbeddingsMeaning turned into a fixed list of numbers.5m
  4. Cosine SimilarityCompare direction, ignore magnitude.5m
  5. TokenizationModels read chunks, not letters or words.5m
  6. Attention, IntuitivelyEvery position decides which others to listen to.5m
  7. Transformers: Big PictureA stack of identical blocks refining one sequence.5m
  8. What Is an LLMA next-token predictor trained on a lot of text.5m
  9. Temperature and SamplingOne distribution, many possible answers.5m
  10. Context WindowsA hard limit on what the model can see at once.4m
  11. Retrieval-Augmented GenerationFetch the facts first, then let the model write.5m
  12. Vector DatabasesNearest-neighbour search that stays fast at scale.5m
  13. Fine-Tuning vs PromptingChange the instructions, or change the weights.5m
  14. Agents and ToolsA model in a loop that can act and try again.5m
  15. Evaluating LLMsIf you cannot score it, you cannot improve it.5m
