LLM Primer

LLM Primer

LLM Primer is a structured deep dive into Large Language Models, based on a seven-book series covering everything from foundational concepts and mathematical intuition to RAG, MCP, scalable AI systems, and AI security. This podcast is built for engineers and serious professionals who want real understanding—not surface-level explanations. Each season corresponds to one book. Each episode builds technical clarity step by step. Understand the model. Build better systems.
