I’m thinking about organizing a study group to go @rasbt's latest book, Build a Large Language Model from Scratch. The idea is to read a chapter beforehand and then meet each week on Zoom to discuss, compare notes, and learn from each other. I think we can cover it in 6 weeks!

The first thing users see isn’t the product. It’s the documentation. That’s why we spent weeks planning, writing, and rewriting (again and again) to bring you the new Soda docs. Huge kudos to everyone who helped make them better! Take a look: docs.soda.io

"I don't know what an MCP is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask" If you feel this way. Here is a simple answer. An MCP is how an LLM knows which API to call. So that you can make requests using natural language. That's it, as simple as that. Any other explanation gets…
