How to use this resource

Why it matters

It connects model architecture to the data and compute systems that determine whether a language model can actually be trained and evaluated responsibly.

First practical move

Read the syllabus and assignment zero, then estimate the memory and compute budget for the smallest model you could reproduce locally.

Good fit for

Experienced ML engineers and researchers
