I'm not sure how it compares, but another option is the Hugging Face learning portal [0]. I'm doing the Deep RL Course and so far it's pretty straight forward (although when it gets math heavy I'm going to suffer).

I found the Karpathy videos very approachable. While I did study CS, I never went deep into ML. My main knowledge about matrices is for graphic development, so vectors and matrices up to 4x4 in size only. But following the videos, starting to learn about backprob and building the tiny GPT was understandable to me.

Karpathy's lessons are great to really grog the background and underlying basics. They do not go into the many libraries available, the course you link might be more practically applicable.

Meh, I took a couple Hugging Face courses, I might not take them again.

The grading system forces you to write specifically to pass their LLM grading system, terrible design. Maybe its gotten better I had to constantly look up how to write the correct answer just to pass their automatic grading system. Not a good way to learn and time wasted.

Karpathy videos posted here are GOLD.
