3Blue1Brown and LLM Visualization: the best ways to build geometric intuition for AI
techNmak · x · 2026-09-04
The author recommends two visual resources for learning AI fundamentals:
- 3Blue1Brown: linear algebra, neural networks, gradient descent, backpropagation, attention and Transformers explained geometrically rather than as notation to memorize.
- Brendan Bycroft's LLM Visualization: goes deeper than most Transformer diagrams, letting you zoom from the model level down toward the tensors and operations that produce the next token — ideal if attention still feels like boxes and arrows.
