Gotta admit I'm feeling kinda teary reading all the lovely comments here. Thank you everybody -- love you all!
You just deserved it.😃
Second in the replies. :3
You are beyond awesome, Jeremy
Thanks for your work and please help us keep an eye on the apostles of the emerging noosphere, like Ben Goertzel ect.
Jeremy Thank you! This has helped so much. I’ve been a FastAI builder since the early days in 2017. Youre my hero. Appreciate all of the work you’ve done in the field
This is probably the best invested youtube time of this year so far. What a gem. A lot of things he mentions have taken me month to figure out by my own. My new GPT-4 prompts will begin with "You are the expert Jeremy Howard..."
This!
lol, nice
100%
So great.
Absolutely!
Just realised Jeremys paper led to the LLM revolution. Such a humble kind man. God bless you and all your students. You are such an example to follow. An example in character, humility and intelligence.
how ? which paper?

Dope, did you do this by hand?
😅😅😅😅
I was expecting "By Tammy AI"
Thanks
The moment I got to know that you and Andrej weren't included in the Time's list, I realized that the people making such lists have no idea what they are doing. Loved the tutorial, thank you!
Hoping to look forward it.Ur fastai stable diffusion course was Perfect to the minute details
I found this video so useful that I felt compelled to pull my keyboard closer toward me, fix my posture, and write this comment - something I rarely do. I'm a professional data scientist hoping to push my company's GenAI agenda and this video makes me feel like I can actually do it! Thank you for so clearly encapsulating the state of LLMs. I'd learned many of these concepts before and this video is the glue that now holds it together.
very easy to know, practical! thanks Jeremy
No one can explain a topic like Jeremy👍
The best "intro" and Guide I have seen on this. Appreciate it so much that you took the time to put this together and share this with us (FOR FREE!).
Great! It allowed me to understand how LM thinks and why.
By far the most useful practical guide to LLM's by length. Thank you Jeremy!
This video landed up on my feed and out of curiosity I started watching and before I knew it had watched the entire video and taken copious amounts of notes too. One of the best videos I have ever watched!
oh man great video
thankyou for the talk
Bravo. One of the best TH-cam videos I've ever watched. Concise, entertaining, and chock full of useful insights.
So comprehensive. Perhaps the best introduction I have ever seen to the topic. Thanks so much.
I liked the video even before watching. Thanks Jeremy for your work, always learning from your content.
Fabulous tour of key points. Fantastic job! Definitely going to recommend this to people wanting a gateway into llms.
I'm really grateful how much people sharing their knowledge, can't imagine learning stuff for free. this means a lot for me.
The "wolf, goat and cabbage" riddle example is just awesome. Gotta use it to illustrate what LLMs can't do and why. Cheers for that :)
Kudos, such pleasurable 1 hour and 31 mins and 12 seconds.
So many papers are being released, so it is important to have well-grounded information to understand LMs. Great delivery as always and practicable advice. Thank you.
Thanks for all you do Jeremy. I have learned so many things watching youtube as well as the PDLC tutorials. Your expanations are on point.
There are hundreds of LLM tutorial coming out everyday, this is the one that I have been waiting for.
This is golden summary of the state of the LLMs, Thank You
Thank you very much, Jeremy. Fascinating to see where we have come. The prose to SQL thing blew me out of the shoes. Can't wait to try this out by myself.
Hi Jeremy, excellent walkthrough! This is truly helpful. Please keep them coming!!
Great video. Watched it in one sitting. It's very interesting and engaging, and does cover a lot of areas on LLM, different model, types, examples, uses cases, etc. I learned a lot and hopefully will go through the notebook in detail and adapt to my use cases. Thanks for making this.
Very much appreciated this consolidation of the main LLM coding concepts to-date. Thank you!!
Came up in my feed. Thumbnail and title boring. By mistake I pressed play. But it was so interesting. I feel so enlightened after having been talked through this. Thanks for sharing this!
You are literally changing lives, all for free. Thank you.
Brillant walk through. No hype. It is a real skill to explain complex topics is coherent way.

This is great. I don't know how to say how much grateful I am for your video. Thank you and keep the great work!
One of the best and most educational videos I've seen on the subject. Thank you, Jeremy!
What a great primer! Very much needed! Thanks as always Jeremy!
Thank you Jeremy for this introduction. It just answered many of my questions and affirmed some of my doubts about how many of the applications that use LLMs work today.
Such a great article! I learned a lot from this video, such as how complicated systems can be put together using a stack of models, illustrated in the RAG to name an example. Jeremy, you are such a kind person to share this with the world.
Thought provoking one code block at a time. As usual Jeremy the king
Jeremy you're one of the most legit AI person out there. An enormous thank you for providing this and all your content. ❤
Keep on making videos man this was highly informative and my regards to being a person who was part of forming this architecture!
A true legend! So far, I have not seen a better educator than Jeremy. His approach of teaching is what all schools and universities need! I am always interested to learn more, whenever I hear Jeremy. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Thanks so much Jeremy, been following you since Kaggle's launch. Inspirational to see an Australian continue to kick ass as much as you have in your career.
This is amazing, thanks so much for recording this and sharing it 👏
This is a real gem. Reminds me of the authentic, high quality training material from Andrej Karpathy. Looking forward to future similar tutorials if you decide to make them! Thank you!
Jeremy, we need more videos on this topic! Thank you so much!
We do not deserve you Jeremy! YOU ARE AN AMAZING TEACHER AND HUMAN BEING! Thanks, really, for all these beautiful lectures!!
Never miss Jeremy's lectures....
I have waited for months for a classification and evaluation from Jeremy. For me, this is by far the most comprehensive technical summary and evaluation available for someone who wants to delve deeper. It took me several weeks, if not months, to gain even a partial personal understanding of the current hype. Thank you, Jeremy, for all your good work!👍
Can’t stop watching over and over again! Thank you 🙏
Always look forward Jeremy to explain this topic. Finally it is here. 😀
I think the major problem is the retrieval. Would love a video just on that (best practices, best models out there etc.).
Great video, came across on x and subbed immediatley.
This is remarkable. Thanks for sharing this topic for us Jemery!
Damn I watched the whole video and didn't even realise that it was 1+ hr long! Thanks a lot for the great content!
Thank you for creating this amazing talk around all the basics and applications with language models, this is really helpful!
Happy birthday Jeremy! Just got to the section where your bday is revealed and it is today! Thank you for all the great work :)
Hands down one of the best videos on LLMs on the internet.
I feel like this video was made personally just for me. Amazing.
Great content, and I love the way you structured it. Thanks :)
Thank you Jeremy for all of your work and for sharing such quality videos. ❤
Thank you Jeremy!! One of the most insightful and helpful vlog posts on the inner workings of LLMs... Top marks!!!
Truly enlightening! As a software engineer with limited math and data science knowledge, this video has been a revelation. The way Prof. Howard simplifies complex concepts is incredible, making each rewatch rewarding with new insights. Really grateful for his content that opens up the world of LLMs to a broader audience. His clear and thorough explanations are incredibly invaluable. Thanks, Prof. Howard, for demystifying this topic and helping us all learn.
Wow, thank you!
Impressive video; I spent days learning these concepts on my own. Had this been released two months ago, it would've been a game-changer. Excellent summary.
Luckily i'm a few weeks behind you! Happy learning mate!
Mr Howard never disappoints. Thanks a ton as usual Sir.
Awesome stuff, always like learning from your videos. Been watching since FastAI v1.
Thanks Jeremy for another wonderful lecture! Much appreciated.
Great course! Hello from Almaty Google developers community!
This is so well done and presented. Thank you.
I can not emphasize how incredible this video was
This is pure gold!!!!❤❤❤❤ I would have never found this on my own
I remember that I was rewriting some chunk of TensorFlow code with GPT4 code interpreter, and it responded that it did not access to that framework. So I input 'gpt4: "try: import torch"', respond was 'Do you want to learn Pytorch' :) All about gpt's self.awareness mechanism :)
I was waiting for this for a long time! Thank you very much
A wealth of Information and knowledge in this video .. a master piece .. Thank you
Thanks...great summary....now i know the relatiinship between neural network parameters and vector DB's
Thank you for this. Couldn’t have asked for a better video.
This is absolutely fabulous. Thank you!
Perfect description of Functions at 46:30!
Such an excellent video, thanks for taking up your time producing this for those very much at the start of this journey
Jeremy, Congrats on the 100k subscribers.
Well deserved and hopefully a catalyst to get your invaluable content more exposure.
I've been a student of yours for years, thank you for all you do for us.
A non-optimal but correct solution to the cabbage, wolf & goat crossing works by just using incantation "think step by step" :
Think step by step to solve the following tricky problem:
Here is a logic puzzle. I need to carry a cabbage, a goat and a wolf across a river. I can only carry one item at a time with me in the boat. I can't leave the goat alone with the cabbage, and I can't leave the cabbage alone with the wolf. How can I get everything to the other side of the river?
This classic river crossing puzzle can be solved through a series of strategic moves that ensure the safety of each item. Here's a step-by-step solution:
1. **Take the goat across first:**
- You take the goat across the river and leave it on the other side.
- This ensures that the goat is safe from the wolf, and the cabbage is safe from the goat.
2. **Return alone:**
- You return to the original side alone to get either the cabbage or the wolf.
3. **Take the cabbage across next:**
- You take the cabbage across the river.
- Now, the goat is on the other side, and the cabbage is with you.
4. **Bring the goat back:**
- You bring the goat back with you to the original side.
- Now, the cabbage is alone on the other side, and the wolf is alone on the original side.
5. **Take the wolf across:**
- You then take the wolf across the river.
- Now, the wolf and the cabbage are on the other side, and you have the goat on the original side.
6. **Return alone:**
- You return to the original side alone.
7. **Take the goat across one final time:**
- Finally, you take the goat across the river again.
- Now, all three- the goat, the cabbage, and the wolf -are safely on the other side.
This way, you ensure that the goat is never left alone with the cabbage, and the cabbage is never left alone with the wolf, solving the puzzle.

Jeremy this is a gem of a video. thanks again.
This is amazing and serious content. I love it. Thank you for making it available, greetings from Switzerland
Thanks for making video. Would love to see some follow up videos on use cases for fine tuning. Where does it make sense vs RAG or even just better prompts
this changed my mind on how AI works! Thanks alot !!
incredible, value-packed, practical video for developers working with LLMs.
Glad you liked it!
wonderful lesson as always Jeremy!
I did have a laugh at the GPT-4 bit "Bad pattern recognition - thanks to Steve Newman", as if he's the sole individual responsible for that limitation
Such an amazing video! Thanks so much for this amazing overview of LLMs! A few suggestions for a follow-up video perhaps :) 1. How to build an LLM from scratch on a consumer grade machine (e.g. laptop with 1 good GPU or Macbook M2 Max), maybe not 1B params but e.g. 500M? 2. LORA and DPO. 3. OpenAI's updated API. 4. Agents based frameworks such as AutoGen. Thanks again - really enjoyed this video! ❤🙏
Wonderful overview, gives me confidence to dive in!
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge, Sir.
always good to learn from Jeremy!
What a fantastic video. Really enjoyed thank you!!
Hey thank you for making these available for free. ❤
People like you change the world!
Oh yes!!! Can't wait to dig into this, thank you Jeremy!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you!🙏🏻😀
Brilliant presenter!!
Thank you! Amazing tutorial. Thanks
