AI by Hand ✍️ Seminar: Foundation (TPU) → Frontier (GDPO)

​In 2026, I’ve made a personal commitment to teach one live AI seminar every week by hand ✍️.

• ​Foundation (first 30 min): intuition, math, and mental models of core AI concepts, for beginners.

• ​Frontier (second 30 min): research papers, algorithm, and architectures used by frontier models, for advanced AI engineers and researchers.

​Live attendance is free.

​The recordings and Excel workbooks are available for members of the AI by Hand Academy.

​This Week's Agenda:

• ​Special Guest:
