Do you have a good theoretical foundation in ML ? You will also need some linear algebra.
If not would invest the time in a decent course, there are plenty online, even offline if you are close enough to where its offered. I took one from Andrew Ng on Coursera years ago, which used Matlab. There are probably much better, more up-to-date options now, especially now that LLMs are very in-vogue. The fundamentals such as gradient descent, ANNs and back-propagation however, is still relevant, and hasn't changed much.
Trying to understand what code is doing without that foundation will be an exercise in futility.
