Best AI and machine learning blogs to follow
38 of the 211 blogs in the full directory of engineering blogs are tagged AI and machine learning. Each one is listed below with a one-line description and who recommended it.
Few of the replies named an AI blog, so most of this section is my own picks. Simon Willison writes about using LLMs in practice, Hamel Husain and Eugene Yan about evals and applied LLM systems, and Chip Huyen about ML systems design. Lilian Weng publishes long survey posts on agents and prompting; Andrej Karpathy and Jay Alammar explain how neural networks and transformers work from the ground up.
