A good book
This is the best book I read in 2025. Although I’m an engineer I appreciated the mostly non tech reasoning, that let me build a good mental picture of machine learning. the new added bit at the end explained succinctly to me how LLMs work.

Spännande och ögonöppnande
Detta är en verkligt bra och pedagogisk bok som beskriver matematiken och historiken som ligger till grund för dagens AI. Läsaren kommer mycket långt bara genom att följa hur författaren guidar läsaren genom logiska matematiska resonemang som sedan kompletteras med den matematiska formeln för de som förstår den nivån.
