Standalone Mastery Certificate S01

A complete nine-lecture Stanford Online sequence that progresses from transformer mechanics through training/tuning/reasoning, agentic LLMs, evaluation and current trends. Ideal as a focused LLM study sprint.

Benchmark: Stanford CME 295 - Transformers & Large Language Models, Autumn 2025 -- This is a Zuyini Academy Standalone Mastery Certificate built around Stanford CME 295 public materials. Do not represent it as a Stanford-issued credential. Stanford CME 295 has a newer 2026 offering; the complete public 2025 sequence remains the current finished video spine.

Learning Sequence

01 — Transformers - tokenization, embeddings, attention, architecture

02 — Transformer-based models & tricks - RoPE, MHA/MQA/GQA, BERT

03 — Large Language Models - architecture, MoE, sampling, prompting

04 — LLM Training - pretraining, quantization, hardware, SFT/LoRA

05 — LLM Tuning - preferences, reward models, RLHF/PPO, DPO

06 — LLM Reasoning - reasoning models, RL, GRPO, scaling

07 — Agentic LLMs - RAG, function calling, agents, ReAct

08 — LLM Evaluation - judges, best practices, biases and pitfalls

09 — Recap & Current Trends - synthesis and emerging directions

Proof / Capstone

Build a compact LLM system and evidence pack: implement or inspect a transformer component; compare prompting vs retrieval vs tuning; add one agent/tool workflow; create an evaluation set; measure quality/latency/cost; and write a short architecture memo connecting the nine lectures to the system decisions.
