Does something similar exist for LLM/GPT?

Edit to add: I'm mostly interested in this aspect:

"The target audience of this tutorial includes [those] who are interested in [...] applying these models to solve other problems."

This paper is much clearer and succinct than the original papers from the field.

Trying to build a protein diffusion model from scratch right now.

The math explainer is quite helpful

The first diffusion model for text generation was published less than a year ago. Should add something about that

Latex is great in this case, because the equations are all written out clearly.

If you want to understand diffusion, it's a little difficult to avoid math.

Maybe check out the fast ai course. Jeremy Howard has a way of explaining stuff.

the math is learnable and with gpt nowadays, extremely so

You are right! LLMs accept the formulas and may explain them...

It will be more difficult to tell when they are wrong, though - when you cannot verify directly. But it will be a device for people to get acquainted with the math.

Diffusion is math. It’s difficult to avoid math if you want to understand math.

Be that as it may, this isn't what I'd call a "tutorial," in the sense that you'd better already have a strong command of the subject matter or you won't get much out of it.
