Hi Reader,

👉 Tuesday Tip: My top 5 sources for keeping up with AI

I'll state the obvious: AI is moving incredibly FAST 💨

Here are the best sources I follow to keep up with the most important developments in Artificial Intelligence:

​

​The Neuron (daily newsletter)

My top recommendation for a general audience. It’s fun, informative, and well-written. It includes links to the latest AI news and tools, but the real goldmine is their article at the top of each newsletter.

​

​The Batch (weekly newsletter)

Four deep, thoughtful analyses of the most important developments in AI this week. Includes commentary from legendary AI researcher Andrew Ng.

​

​Simon Willison’s blog (also available as a weekly newsletter)

Simon is an independent AI researcher and co-creator of the Django web framework. He’s constantly experimenting with the latest AI models, and his analyses are excellent. Start by reading this post: Things we learned about LLMs in 2024.

​

​One Useful Thing (newsletter by Ethan Mollick)

Ethan is a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He provides practical advice on the use of AI, as well as analyses of where AI is going. He’s also my favorite source of AI insights on Bluesky.

​

​Ahead of AI (newsletter by Sebastian Raschka)

Sebastian is an AI researcher and the author of Build a LLM from Scratch. His newsletters are useful to those who already know a lot about LLMs and want to keep up with the latest research. Start by reading this issue: Noteworthy AI Research Papers of 2024 (Part One).

​

Honorable mentions:

​Understanding AI by Timothy B. Lee: I love his writing on AI and self-driving vehicles, but many of his articles are limited to paid subscribers (such as myself). LLMs explained with a minimum of math and jargon is his most well-known article.

​Am I Stronger Yet? by Steve Newman: I just discovered this newsletter, but his latest article, Are We on the Bring of AGI?, was fantastic.
