Stanford's CS336 "Language Modeling from Scratch" is being recommended as the best LLM course around, covering pretraining, fine-tuning, tokenizers, GPT, open-weight models, DeepSeek's work and RLHF — all hands-on and directly relevant to day-to-day research engineering.
The Spring 2026 version's recordings and assignments are already public; the poster says it doubles as prep for Research Engineer / MLE / Technical Staff interviews.
