AI, made visual and interactive.
Learn how AI actually works by playing with it. Every lesson and lab runs the real algorithm in your browser: drag the data, change the settings, and watch the model learn.
47 lessons, 25 labs and hundreds of practice questions. Nothing to install. See the roadmap

How it works
1Read one idea
Short sections, plain words, a picture for every concept, and the maths only when it helps.
2Play with it
Change the inputs and watch real K-means, backpropagation, attention or A* respond. Simplifications are labelled.
3Make it stick
Quick checks as you read, then five-minute practice sessions that bring back what you miss.

Pick a path
5 paths that alternate reading with doing. Start with Foundations if you are new; jump to any other if you already know the basics.
Foundations
22 stepsStart FoundationsStart here. What learning from data means, how networks train, and how to judge the result.
Seeing
6 stepsStart SeeingHow machines read images, from a single convolution to detecting every object in a scene.
Language
12 stepsStart LanguageFrom counting words to the transformers inside every modern chatbot.
Deciding
8 stepsStart DecidingHow AI plans routes, learns strategies from reward, recommends what you see next and acts in the physical world.
Frontier
24 stepsStart FrontierThe ideas behind the AI in the news: LLMs, retrieval, agents, decision models like Jev, and multimodal systems.
Five minutes a day. It sticks.
Practice turns every lesson into quick hands-on questions: drag a slider, tap a plot, sort the steps. Build a streak, earn stars on every skill, and the ones you miss come back until they don’t.
- Streaks, combos and a daily goal
- Hundreds of interactive cards across every topic
- A skill map from first principles to the frontier
The AI in the news, explained
Each month, the biggest AI release taken apart: what is confirmed, what is not, and the ideas underneath, with demos you can run. All explainers
GPT-6.1 Terra, Ultrafast and agents that use a computer
OpenAI’s GPT-6.1 Terra and Ultrafast explained: tokens per second, why speed costs more, computer-use agents and how errors compound.
Read the explainerGPT-6 Rosalind, robot brains and AI that leaves the chat
5 November 2026
OpenAI’s GPT-6 Rosalind and Gemini Robotics on Atlas explained: DNA as tokens, robot control loops, step reliability and science benchmarks.
Muse Spark Open, parallel agents and a frontier model on your desk
19 October 2026
Meta’s 816B open-weight Muse Spark Open and ChatGPT’s parallel agents explained: active parameters, memory, quantization and speculative decoding.
Decision Models and Jev
Why a model that answers with a calibrated choice instead of text is one of 2026’s biggest stories.
Large Language Models
How models like Claude and GPT are built: pretraining, scaling laws, fine-tuning, RLHF and reasoning.
Labs worth trying first
Each one takes about fifteen minutes and teaches one idea by letting you break it.
Neural Network Playground
Build a network layer by layer and watch it learn a decision boundary in real time.
Next-Token Sampling Lab
Train a tiny language model in your browser, then steer its output with temperature, top-k and top-p.
Pathfinding Visualizer
Draw a maze and watch A*, Dijkstra, BFS and DFS explore it cell by cell.
Attention Visualizer
Compute queries, keys and values by hand and see which words attend to which.
Gradient Descent Lab
Drop optimizers onto a loss landscape and race SGD, momentum, RMSProp and Adam to the minimum.
Fairness Lab
Set loan-approval thresholds for two groups and discover why every fairness metric can’t be satisfied at once.
