## What it is
A curated learning resource compiling videos, survey papers, and foundational AI research papers to help software builders catch up to the public frontier of AI research in about two weeks. It is a reading list rather than software, organized by topics like foundational modeling, reasoning, and agents.

## Use cases
- catch up on AI research as a busy software founder
- find essential LLM and agent papers to read
- learn about transformers, RLHF, and reasoning models quickly
- get a two-week self-study plan for the AI frontier
- discover survey papers on prompt and context engineering

## When to choose
- you want a curated, opinionated reading path through AI research
- you are a builder or founder with limited time needing a fast overview
- you prefer learning from primary papers and videos

## When to avoid
- you need hands-on code, tutorials, or a runnable project
- you want a comprehensive academic curriculum with exercises
- you need up-to-date coverage beyond the list's compilation date

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools
- domain: artificial-intelligence, large-language-models, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: curated-resources, ai-research-papers, crash-course, reading-list, self-study
