Mastering the Mechanics of Modern AI

This course is a deep dive into the foundational technology of modern AI, such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and neural networks. Our focus is not on how to effectively use AI, but rather on understanding exactly how AI works under the hood.

You will master the core concepts, algorithms, and technologies, including:

  • The architecture and function of neural networks.

  • The process of AI model training.

  • The mechanics of LLMs.

  • How to run and train your own local AI.

This technical knowledge is crucial for anyone seeking a competitive edge in the field. It is particularly vital for those pursuing roles in AI security (pen testing, developing secure applications, or blue team defense). Moreover, understanding the technology’s inner workings will enable you to grasp AI’s true limitations and significantly improve your overall effectiveness when interacting with and utilizing AI tools.
