If you want a conceptual understanding of language models from the ground up, @vcubingx just started a short series of videos on the topic:
If you’re interested in the herculean task of interpreting what these large networks might actually be doing, the Transformer Circuits posts by Anthropic are great.

3blue1brown is a channel about animating math, in all senses of the word animate. If you’re reading the bottom of a video description, I’m guessing you’re more interested than the average viewer in lessons here. It would mean a lot to me if you chose to stay up to date on new ones, either by subscribing here on YouTube or otherwise following on whichever platform below you check most regularly.
