Why? This feels like saying you want to learn assembly because you have no faith in C. Abstracted tools will be all there is someday soon, the amount of people working on the math side of things will probably be highly specialized. You could learn this stuff now, but you have to consider who you're up against and what you'd actually do with that knowledge. If you write your own LLM and custom accelerator, you're still building the same product as the guy who just calls the OpenAI API.
- ZugZugz 3y agoI agree, although there is always some minority that will know things at that level. If you think your job (or if your current job) will involve optimizing ML libraries or a large ML project that's over budget, or under performing, having an idea what's being performed under the API can give you a quick insight into what can be changed.
