I loved Andrej’s talk about in his “Busy person’s intro to Large Language Models” video, so I decided to create a reading list to dive in deeper to a lot of the topics. I feel like he did a great job of describing the state of the art for anyone from an ML Researcher to any engineer who is interested in learning more.

The full talk can be found here: https://youtu.be/zjkBMFhNj_g?si=fPvPyOVmV-FCTFEx

Let me know if you have any other papers you would add!

Didn't mean to say those papers are completely useless, but even for those with a strong Math/ML background I would advise starting with recent survey papers. Reading "Attention is All You Need" is kind of like reading the General Relativity papers of Einstein - cool as a historical curiosity, but not ideal for optimizing expertise acquisition.
