DeepMind researcher says Stanford's deep learning alchemy course has real alpha
brianryhuang · x · 2026-11-13
A researcher already working at Google DeepMind recommends Stanford's deep learning "alchemy" course, saying it looks like it has a lot of alpha — even with insider access to some pretraining material, he feels the course could sharpen intuitions he doesn't yet have, and plans to follow along.
A notable endorsement from someone on the pretraining front lines, useful signal for learners who want deeper practical intuition.
