LLMs Will Easily Generate Educational Videos with Code-Based Animations
By
–
Actually, I think this will be the easiest kind of educational video to be generated by LLMs. That's because I believe (pls correct me if I'm wrong) the animations are code generated.

A new video in my “Build A Large Language Model From Scratch” series is now live. In this tutorial, I cover text data handling, which is an important component for both understanding and training LLMs.
In particular, the video walks through the following topics:
– The process of
