CS25 has become one of Stanford's hottest seminar courses, featuring top researchers at the forefront of Transformers research such as Geoffrey Hinton, Ashish Vaswani, and Andrej Karpathy. Our class has an incredibly popular reception within and outside Stanford, and millions of total views on YouTube. Each week, we dive into the latest breakthroughs in AI, from large language models like GPT to applications in art, biology, and robotics. Now on our sixth iteration of the course, we are excited to bring you fresh perspectives on where Transformer research is heading next.
The only homework for students is weekly attendance to the talks/lectures. Anybody is free to audit in-person or join our Zoom livestreams - you don't have to sign-up or be affiliated with Stanford! (Please do not contact us about this). We also have a lively Discord community (over 5000 members) - feel free to join and chat with hundreds of others about Transformers!
