Deep Dive into LLMs like ChatGPT
IntermediateThis is a general audience deep dive into the Large Language Model (LLM) AI technology that powers ChatGPT and related products. It is covers the full training stack of how the models are developed, along with mental models of how to think about their "psychology", and how to get the best use them in practical applications. I have one "Intro to LLMs" video already from ~year ago, but that is just a re-recording of a random talk, so I wanted to loop around and do a lot more comprehensive version. Instructor Andrej was a founding member at OpenAI (2015) and then Sr. Director of AI at Tesla (2017-2022), and is now a founder at Eureka Labs, which is building an AI-native school. His goal in this video is to raise knowledge and understanding of the state of the art in AI, and empower people to effectively use the latest and greatest in their work.

You Can Learn AI Agent Harness & Loop Engineering In 19 Min | LLM Ops, Eval, Tracing, RAG
BeginnerAn LLM is an incredibly powerful brain that knows everything about humanity and nothing about you or the software you run. This video walks through the four buzzwords that turn that raw brain into a system you can trust: agent harness, loop engineering, LLM Ops, and eval. No jargon, step by step, technical or not. You can build anything. You can learn anything. 💪 Timeline 0:00 Intro: the 4 AI agent buzzwords 0:42 What an AI agent run actually is 1:52 The memory system: procedural, semantic, episodic 3:37 What "harness" really means (the horse) 5:07 Storing and updating memory (databases, skills, summarizer agent) 8:28 Retrieval: RAG, SQL vs semantic search 10:00 Tool calling and why agents loop 10:52 Loop engineering and end-loop guardrails 13:21 A Claude Code hooks example 14:18 Eval and LLM Ops: why you need them 15:55 Tracing every run (Langfuse, LangSmith) 16:43 Evaluation: LLM as a judge 17:20 Diagnosing what broke 18:16 The gate: ship the fix or fix the bug 18:57 Zoom out: the full system 19:53 Wrap up Launch Full-Stack App Template: https://github.com/ShenSeanChen/launch-mvp-stripe-nextjs-supabase My AI Agent Startup AutoManus.io is an AI sales lead manager for made-to-order product sales.
