Hey Swyx, I'm a dev who did your (excellent!) email LLM course, so maybe I can give some info. I'm in the Latent Space Discord and have been trying to figure out what's next after the course. The challenge I've found is that most online discussions about LLMs are either very basic or assume a fair amount of context (true for the Latent Space discussion/podcast, as well as Karpathy's videos).
I've been trying to find the best next step and what seems fruitful from my vantage point are:
1. Cohere's LLM University - Seems to go more in depth into terms like embeddings that are still pretty unclear to me.
2. promptingguide.ai - For similar reasons, that it covers terms and concepts I see a lot but don't know much about.
3. Reading survey-level papers.
I'm including this info just in case it's useful to you, as I've really appreciated all the content you've put together.
One specific thing you or someone else could do that is simple yet high value is to create a list of "the first 20 LLM papers you should read". I've looked for this to build out more base knowledge, but have yet to find it. Suspect it would be helpful to others as well.
