The Roadmap - 23 topics, 90+ videos, 90+ courses, 70+ repos

Venkata's site: AI Learning Roadmap with phase filters

Roadmap: https://venkatapagadala.com/notebook/ai/roadmap

  • 6 phases. 18 weeks. Zero to building LLM applications.

  • 🟢 Foundations → 🔵 Python & Math → 🟡 Machine Learning → 🟠 Deep Learning → 🔴 NLP & LLMs → 🟣 Specialize & Build

  • Every topic: 3-4 videos, 3-4 courses, 3-4 GitHub repos, 2-3 books, recommended tools.

  • Videos from 3Blue1Brown, Andrej Karpathy, Andrew Ng, StatQuest, freeCodeCamp, Stanford CS229, CS231n, CS224n, MIT 6.S191.

  • Courses from fast.ai, Coursera, Kaggle, Hugging Face, Khan Academy, Google, DeepLearning.AI.

  • Repos: nanoGPT (38K stars)

  • scikit-learn (60K), huggingface/transformers (140K), LangChain (100K), d2l-en (55K), stable-diffusion-webui (140K).

  • 4 practice milestones built into the sequence. Not suggestions - checkpoints. Build an ML project. Build a deep learning project. Build an LLM application. Build a portfolio.

  • Topics most roadmaps skip: prompt engineering, AI safety and ethics, data engineering, model evaluation, AI agents, and reading research papers.
