I just read "Foundations of LLMs 2025" cover to cover.

It explained large language models so clearly that I can finally say: I get it.

Here’s the plain-English breakdown I wish I had years ago: Image To understand LLMs, start with pre-training.

We don’t teach them specific tasks.

We flood them with raw text and let them discover patterns on their own.

This technique is called self-supervised learning and it’s the foundation of everything.

Grok might be the smartest stock trader on the planet.

But only if you know the right prompts.

Here are 10 to put your trades on autopilot 👇 1/ Market Analysis:

"Analyze the current trends in the stock market, focusing on [input sector or stock]. Identify any emerging patterns and suggest potential investment opportunities. Consider recent earnings reports and industry news in your analysis."

You don’t need a PhD to master AI.

You need 30 days and a smart plan.

Here’s the exact roadmap (even if you’re starting from zero): Most beginners start by:

- Building chatbots
- Downloading agent frameworks
- Playing with APIs

But they don’t understand tokens, prompts, or context windows.

That’s like trying to write a novel before learning the alphabet.

wow… Kimi K2 is terrifying

it’s an open-source LLM that codes better than most paid models
and can run agents without falling apart

I pushed it hard... here’s what it built: Kimi K2 specs are wild:

→ 1T total / 32B active MoE
→ SOTA on SWE Bench, Tau2, AceBench
→ Strong in code + multi-step tasks
→ $0.15–2.50 per million tokens via API
→ Open weights + GitHub + playground

It rivals Claude 4 in coding but it's free + open.

What is an AI agent?

The most misunderstood concept in tech right now.

Everyone’s using the term, but few know how they actually work.

Here’s the real breakdown (plus 10 tools to build your own): 🧵 1. What is an AI agent?

Think of it as an LLM that doesn’t just respond but acts.

It can:

- Decide what to do
- Use tools
- Manage its own workflow
- And iterate toward a goal autonomously

You’re not building a chatbot. You’re building a co-worker. Image

Grok 4 is terrifyingly good.

But most people are using it like it’s a basic chatbot.

I’ve used it to:

→ Build apps
→ Automate research
→ Generate content

Here are 5 ways to use Grok 4 that feel like cheating: 1. Marketing Automation

Marketing is expensive and slow.
Hiring a pro team can cost $10k/month.
Now I use Grok 4 to create entire marketing systems fast.

Here’s my marketing automation prompt:

"You are now my AI marketing strategist.

Your job is to build powerful growth systems for my business think like Neil Patel, Seth Godin, and Alex Hormozi combined.

I want you to:

Build full-funnel strategies (top to bottom)

Write ad copy, landing pages, and email sequences

Recommend automation tools, lead magnets, and channel tactics

Prioritize fast ROI, data-driven decisions, and creative thinking

Always ask clarifying questions before answering. Think long-term and execute short-term.

Do marketing like experts do. Ask: “What would Hormozi, Seth, or Neil do?"

Copy the prompt and paste it in Grok new chat.

After that, start asking it questions.

Why is no one talking about this?

Grok 4 might be the most powerful AI on the planet right now.

But everyone’s still stuck on Claude and ChatGPT.

I’ve used it for 48 hours and it’s unreal.

Here are 5 tasks it automated for me (and will for you): 1. Playable Game

This can help you build mini-games for demos, virality, or learning.

Holy sh*t… Claude just became an app store.

Anthropic dropped a feature where you can build and run AI apps directly inside Claude.

No code, no infra, no deploys.

Wild examples + how to try: Claude can now generate interactive artifacts—apps that talk to Claude through an internal API.

These aren’t demos.
They’re real, usable AI apps.
Fully hosted. Sharable via link.

And they scale for free.

Here’s the kicker:

When someone uses your app, they pay with their Claude subscription.
You pay nothing.

No tokens, no invoices, no surprises.

R.I.P paid courses...

You can use any LLM like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to build a custom course on any topic or subject.

Here’s the mega prompt that we use to get world-class education for free: Here’s the exact mega prompt we use:

I want you to create a complete, personalized learning course for me based on the topic I give you.

Here’s what I need you to build:

1. A custom curriculum with 4–6 modules that progress logically.
2. Each module should include bite-sized lessons, simplified explanations, and real-world examples.
3. Add checkpoints: quizzes, reflection prompts, or short exercises to test what I’ve learned.
4. Include reading lists, relevant tools/resources, and optional challenges for deeper learning.
5. Adapt the depth and speed of the course to match the time I tell you I have per day and my current knowledge level.
6. Stay friendly, clear, and focused like a world-class coach.

Here’s what I want to learn: [PASTE YOUR TOPIC HERE]

Claude 4 Sonnet is insanely powerful.

But most people are using it like a basic chatbot.

I've used it to generate content, automate deep research, build apps, and more.

Here are 10 real ways to unlock its power (most people have no idea #7 exists): 1. Automated Research Reports (better than $100k consultants)

Claude’s web search + analysis mode lets you do what McKinsey, Gartner, and Deloitte charge six figures for.

You’ll get structured breakdowns, insights, and data points like a private analyst on demand.

RIP Gartner...

Now you don’t need expensive analyst subscriptions anymore.

You can generate full industry reports using any LLM ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Qwen3 and public data.

Here’s the prompt that turns any LLM into a full-stack market research analyst for free: First, let’s see what Gartner actually does well:

1. Structured industry forecasts
2. Competitive landscape mapping (e.g., Magic Quadrants)
3. Strategic insights for enterprise buyers
4. Vendor comparisons with pros/cons
5. Trend analysis backed by years of data

These are valuable but not impossible to replicate.

It’s wild: less than 0.01% know how to properly use o1, o3, Gemini 2.5, or Claude Sonnet 4.

These are the most powerful AIs on the planet.

That's why we created this cheatsheet to help you.

Here's everything you need to master prompt writing 👇 Image First, assign the model a thinking role.

This changes how it “shows up” mentally.

Examples:

- Strategy Consultant
- Logical Analyst
- Detective
- Policy Evaluator
- Research Synthesizer

The more specific the role, the sharper the output.

A new study just exposed a hidden truth about LLMs:

Your LLM is a black box.

You don’t understand how it works and neither do its creators.

Here’s what they found ↓ Image Everyone talks about "understanding AI."

But here’s the truth:

You can’t open the black box.

You can only work around it.

Even the engineers can’t explain why a model gave you that output. Image

- 30-day content calendars

And more.
