Stanford's Fall 2026 course CS312 'Deep Learning Alchemy' (taught by Tatsunori Hashimoto et al.) has open-sourced its quizzes and assignments, with lecture recordings to follow. The course bets that deep learning mastery requires running many experiments: students train small 35M-parameter Llama-style models and take unusual 'outcome prediction' quizzes forecasting how changed setups will perform — designed to be hard even for experts, with strong students expected around 80% and most around 50%.
