LLMs bring new nature of abstraction – up and sideways

Don’t let anyone tell you who you are. No one, human or AI

Hey Everyone

It’s been a while since I posted about my journey and stuffs here.

Truth is, I’ve been on and off.
Sometimes I go deep into learning, and other times I just… get stuck.
I try again and again to understand certain ML concepts, but they don’t always click.
It’s frustrating and honestly, it made me doubt myself more than once.

Most people think(so do i) machine learning is just about using libraries or copying code. But here’s the truth a lot of that confusion comes from not really understanding the math behind machine learning

Most of the stuff we “tune” like learning rate, regularization, or depth are actually based on mathematical principles.
And if you get the math, even at a basic level, things start to make sense.

That’s where this book comes in:

📘“An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Python” (ISLP)

It literally explains key ML models in a simple, clear way
Shows you the math behind them  but in a way that makes sense
Comes with hands-on Python code
And best of all it’s free

I just started using it, and already I feel like I’m finally moving forward again.
If you’ve also been stuck or feeling like you’re not progressing, maybe this can help you too.

We can learn together, no shame in going slow

Back in class, we had a whole course on Probability and Random Processes and bro Ngl, I was fighting for my life trying to stay awake 😂
I thought, “Nah, this can’t be useful. Just formulas, symbols, and pain."

Now I'm deep into ML thing and guess what’s showing up everywhere like an uninvited guest?
Yup. Probability, Randomness, Expectations, Distributions.
And suddenly I'm like: “Wait, I’ve seen this before ”
I didn’t get it then, but it’s all making sense now(a little bit😅)

Moral of the story? Sometimes the “boring” stuff is just waiting for context. Now I respect that class (still boring though 😁)

🎉 Big news! Addis AI is now an NVIDIA Inception program member!

Joining a global network of AI innovators to accelerate our mission: making AI accessible in African languages.

This partnership strengthens our foundation as we build language-first AI tools tailored for the continent.

Grateful for the recognition. More to come. 🚀

The pain when you see the model is overfitting 💀

I’ve gone three whole days without water
