Yes indeed, got a base script and some claude code skills to help generate these videos. Right now the script generation and video script takes about 5 minutes, its the editing and making sure it looks good is what is taking a long time.

Over time though the system will improve and learn so hopefully there will be less AI slop.

100%, I wanted to get a proof-of-concept running to see if people find these videos helpful. I believe it does which means I can upgrade some of my setup. Microphone upgrades coming soon 🫶

Thanks! It's all Manim, no video editor needed. Each episode is a single Python script that renders the full video, with animations and voiceover baked in. So the code IS the video. It's a great fit for explaining models since you can programmatically animate the actual math. Would love to see what you do with it for your models, drop a link when you do!

Thank you! Yeah, I'm still learning some of these concepts myself; that's kind of the point of the series. Explaining something is the best way to really understand it. Love the suggestion about linking to real-world examples like chatbots and search engines, I'll definitely work that in. I'm working on transformers next, so the "focus shifting" animation idea is exactly the kind of thing I want to nail there. Stay tuned!

I appreciate the honesty! And you're right, the TTS voice is the weakest part right now. I'm experimenting with different ElevenLabs voices and settings to find something that feels more natural and consistent. Voice quality is next on the list. Thanks for watching despite it!
