Large Language Models

Welcome folks 🎉 — this is your single-pane-of-glass for everything Large Language Models (LLMs).
The content below is organized to help you learn fast, revise faster, and answer Top Tech Company Interviews confidently. Use the left sidebar to browse full notes; use the quick links here to jump straight into the most-used sections.

✨ Why this landing page exists

  1. Reduce friction — everything you need to review or teach is one click away.
  2. Study friendly — flashcards, short-theories, deep Q&A, formulas and cheat-sheets are present inside each page.
  3. Interview ready — each topic includes Q&A blocks formatted as collapsible details (ideal for rapid mocks for Top Tech Company Interviews).

🔎 Quick Navigation

  • Use the cards above for direct jumps.
  • Use the sidebar to see the full table of contents and track progress across modules.
  • Use your browser’s Find (Ctrl/Cmd+F) inside any page to jump to formulas, recipes, or interview Q&A quickly.

🧰 Study Workflows (Pick one)

Fast Revision (10–20 min)
  1. Open Introduction → scan flashcards and scaling laws.
  2. Open Transformer Architecture → review attention & key math.
  3. Finish with Cheatsheet at bottom of any page for last-minute recall.
Deep-Dive (60–90 min)
  1. Read Short Theories for the topic.
  2. Expand 3–4 Q&A blocks and take structured notes (TL;DR / Math / Tradeoffs).
  3. Re-implement one concept (e.g., self-attention) on toy data.
Interview Simulation
  1. Pick a core problem from Introduction (e.g., “Why do LLMs scale with data?”).
  2. Use Pretraining, Fine-tuning and RLHF notes to structure a full answer; rehearse aloud.
  3. Use Evaluation and Safety pages to finish with practical production considerations.

📈 Progress & Tips

  • Tip: After reading a page, mark it Done in your personal tracker and jot one insight (e.g., “attention complexity = O(n²)”).
  • Tip: For reproducibility, check Scaling & Deployment → distributed training notes.
  • Tip: Use RAG & Tool Use when preparing design answers for production interview questions — covers hybrid architectures.

🧾 Printable Cheatsheet

If you want a printable revision sheet, open any topic and use Print → Save as PDF. For best results, print the Cheatsheet sections only (they sit near the bottom of each topic page).
