Build AI from the ground up with 523 hands-on lessons, now in portable books
Five hundred twenty-three lessons, twenty phases, zero libraries hiding the math. That is what AI Engineering from Scratch offers: a ground-up path from linear algebra through transformers and production serving, now packaged as six portable EPUB and PDF volumes. The code stays stdlib-first, so every backprop step is visible rather than abstracted away. This month also brings the interface and lessons to eight languages, with CI checking each lesson's tests and repairing broken datasets and links.
Peek inside a neural network as it learns, layer by layer
Open the training view and you'll watch a small neural network learn to read digits, layer by layer. Built with plain NumPy and manual backprop, this tool exposes the messy, instructive details most courses skim over: gradient norms, inactive neurons, and weight shifts from initialization. It reaches about 98.5% on MNIST, but the real value is the lab, where you can ablate neurons or tweak temperature and see accuracy move instantly. For teachers and self-learners, it turns abstract theory into something you can touch.
