Tutorials

Hands-on series covering AI, technology, and the ideas behind them.


Agentic AI

What turns a language model into an agent: a reasoning loop, tools it can call, and a goal it works toward across several steps instead of one reply — plus a tour of the frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, and others) built to orchestrate them.

Colab Agent Practice

A hands-on companion to Agentic AI — build a tool-calling agent from scratch around a small open model, runnable and editable in a Colab notebook.

Understanding Transformers

A 16-part intuition-first tour of how GPT-style models work — from prediction to next-token generation, then to the hardware it runs on. Pair it with the companion AI Core Math Review series if the underlying math is rusty, and Build Your Own Transformer for a hands-on notebook.

Build Your Own Transformer

A hands-on companion to Understanding Transformers — assemble a working transformer yourself in a guided Colab notebook, in the order you'd actually build one rather than the order that's easiest to learn.

AI Core Math Review

The core math principles neural networks lean on most: scalars, vectors, dot products, and matrices — the toolbox behind attention, embeddings, convolutions, and everything in between.
