Take a slow journey through the fascinating history of neural networks  from the first mathematical models of neurons and the perceptron to backpropagation, deep learning, AlexNet, ResNet, Transformers, and today’s large language models.

Along the way, we explore how machines actually learn, why neural networks disappeared and returned, how attention changed AI forever, and why even today we still don’t fully understand what happens inside these powerful systems. A calm, detailed look at one of the most important ideas in modern computing.
