caglar_ee · x · 2026-09-28
A curated list of four free video tutorial series for developers who want to build generative models from first principles:
- Building LLMs from Scratch by Raj Dandekar — video lectures on constructing an LLM from the ground up.
- Build DeepSeek from Scratch — reimplementing DeepSeek-style models.
- The Principles of Diffusion Models — a principles-first walkthrough of diffusion models.
- Build a Diffusion Language Model from Scratch — combining the two threads into a diffusion LM.
