    Here is the linked course in the article: https://iln.ieee.org/public/contentdetails.aspx?id=B570F53B5...

    $240 (non member price) for a 5 hour course.

    Did I read that right? Or is it more 5 hours of instructional videos?

    Either way, it doesn't seem to include grading or other help etc.

      Yes but you get a digital badge with it, so that's nice.

        I am not sure if you are being sarcastic because I don't know how people view IEEE "digital badges", but anything from MOOCs on LinkedIn stopped being valuable a long time ago, if it ever was.

      Better spent on a $200 OpenAI or Anthropic sub and having their top models give you instant, personalized teaching.

        I like how the correct, optimal suggestion is being downvoted by people who've never tried it, or who last tried it in 2022.

        Suggest going through the papers (or the subset that interests you) listed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48822131 with a GPT/Claude/Gemini chat window open. Supplement with the Karpathy 'Zero to Hero' video series if it suits your preferred learning style. That will get you where you want to be, in terms of ML knowledge. It won't get you a job at Anthropic, but neither will a paid IEEE course.

    Why pay for this when Stanford has a playlist of a free course on LLMs: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoROMvodv4rOCXd21gf0CF4xr...

    I didn’t realize IEEE had courses. I’m curious if anyone can comment on the general quality and if they have any good ones.
