in the lectures below, i hold your hand through low-level LLM systems engineering. it includes everything up to TODAY! 1) pytorch tensors 2) large matmul on cpu vs gpu 3) JAX (and why xAI uses it instead of pytorch) 4) raw cuda kernels and global threading indexing 5) triton... design philosophy and softmax example 6) HIP kernels 7) mapping out the ENTIRE ecosystem + differences between CUDA and ROCm/HIP (BLAS, FFT, DNN) 8) cutlass and cute-dsl 9) pretraining, finetuning, rl, unsloth, axolotl, megatron-lm, deepspeed, nanogpt, nanochat 10) training vs inference, inference serving problems, throughput vs latency vs concurrency scaling, vllm, sglang, tensorrt-llm, tensorrt, llama.cpp, exllamav2, exllamav3, benchmark comparisons 11) projects/companies using llms to generate SOTA cuda/triton kernels 12) luminal inference 13) mojo/modular/maxshow more
