About the Seminar Series
In 2026, I’ve made a personal commitment to teach one live AI seminar every week by hand ✍️.
Foundation: intuition, math, and mental models of core AI concepts, for beginners.
Frontier: 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.
