​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.
