Weight-Space Programming From Scratch on Simple Tasks

Authors
Chandan Singh
Published
2026-11-02

An interactive report showing small transformer networks whose weights were written directly by an AI agent, with no training, to solve toy tasks such as bit-string parity. Every weight matrix is displayed, and code, run logs and saved programs are published on GitHub.

Monitoring Embedding Drift in Production Scikit-LLM Pipelines

Hands-on tutorial (Sept. 2026) showing how to spot when the text data a live AI system sees starts to shift, using a domain classifier and centroid distance.

Why I recommend it: Free tutorial. Assumes you know Python and basic machine learning.

Machine Learning Mastery

Jason Brownlee's long-running tutorial site: hundreds of free, step-by-step machine learning walkthroughs in Python, organised into 'start here' guides by topic — getting set up, understanding algorithms, your first complete project, your first neural network, time series forecasting. Each tutorial is written to get you to a working result rather than a theory exam.

Why I recommend it: The tutorials and the 'start here' guides are free to read with no account. The site's business is paid ebooks, and the free ebook offer costs you an email address and an ongoing email course, so expect the marketing. A fair criticism to know going in: the tutorials are recipe-shaped, which gets you running code fast but can leave the why thin — pair them with something that explains the ideas.

Snorkel AI Research & Blog

The free research library and blog of Snorkel AI, the company spun out of Stanford's Snorkel project on programmatic labelling. The papers and posts explain how training data for AI models is actually built — labelling, evaluation sets, and the 'environments' used to train agents. Useful if you want to understand the unglamorous data work behind model quality, which is where a lot of the real jobs are.

Why I recommend it: Research and blog posts are free to read with no signup. Read it for the how, not the verdict: Snorkel sells data services to frontier AI labs, so posts arguing that better data beats bigger models are also a sales case. Everything else on the site is a paid enterprise product — 'request dataset samples' means a sales call.

KDnuggets

Long-running free publication on data science, machine learning and AI, mixing daily tutorials with roundups of tools and techniques. Free to read, supported by ads and affiliate links.

Why I recommend it: Strongest on hands-on tutorials, weakest on product roundups — several posts carry affiliate links to courses, so treat recommendations as suggestions rather than independent verdicts.

Concrete Problems in AI Safety

The 2016 paper that framed AI safety as a set of specific engineering problems — side effects, reward hacking, unsafe exploration — rather than a philosophical worry. Free on arXiv.

From the site: Rapid progress in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) has brought increasing attention to the potential impacts of AI technologies on society. In this paper we discuss one such potential impact: the problem of accidents in machine learning systems, defined as unintended and harmful behavior that may emer…

Why I recommend it: Start here if the safety conversation sounds abstract. It is plain about what can go wrong and why, and almost everything since cites it.

A Path Towards Autonomous Machine Intelligence

Yann LeCun's position paper arguing that today's language models are the wrong architecture, and sketching what he thinks should replace them. Free to read.

Why I recommend it: The serious technical case against scaling language models further. Dense, but it is the argument itself rather than a summary of it.

What Is RLCD? Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation

A plain-language explainer on RLCD, a way of aligning language models by learning from contrasting outputs rather than human ratings alone.
