Andrej Karpathy's Zero to Hero video series [1] is a good middle ground. It isn't super low-level but it also isn't super high-level. I think seeing how the pieces actually fit together in a working project is valuable to get a real understanding.

After going through this series I can say I basically understand weights, tokens, back-propagation, layers, embeddings, etc.

I'm working my way through that series now. He really is a good teacher -- I keep waiting for the inevitable "Next, draw the rest of the fucking owl" moment, but so far he does seem to be sticking to his commitment to a from-scratch approach.

When was this published? Is this an older tutorial by Karpathy?

Just curious, didn't see any date...

The first class is 8 months old and the latest one is 3 months old. If you click on the links, they'll direct you to YouTube videos.
