How to read this. Lessons 01–04 are the foundations (mental model, memory, bandwidth, quantization); 05–07 are the tools (engines, KV cache, DS4); 08 assembles your Mac's config; 09–11 put it to work (hands-on, vision, capstone). Each lesson is a self-contained HTML file — no network, no build — with several diagrams, real examples, and quizzes. Toggle light/dark with the ◐ Theme button.
