Stanford CS336 pitches the road fewer take: understanding LLMs from raw data to trained systems
stanfordnlp · x · 2026-10-31
Stanford NLP's official account reposts a pitch for CS336 (building language models from scratch): most people will spend the next five years "learning AI"—watching lectures, prompting chatbots, calling themselves builders—while a tiny group will actually understand how language models work, from raw data to a trained system. CS336 is designed for that second group.
