دوره کتابخوانی تخصصی Hands-On Large Language Models

📖 Course Vision

This course is a free, deep, and interactive scientific initiative designed to break the stereotypes of traditional lecture-based education. Instead of rote memorization, we emphasize questioning, group discussion, and hands-on coding so that every participant gains a real understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs).
