## Channel description

Written by the channel:

> How does modern AI actually work – under the hood, with the real math?
>
> This channel explains the machinery of today's AI in fully animated video series: how large language models are trained and how they generate text, how words become vectors, how retrieval-augmented generation answers questions from your documents, how AI learns to see and hear, how agents plan and act, and how machines discover and sort the themes hidden in text.
>
> Every formula is developed step by step on screen. All animations are created with Manim, the mathematical animation engine – no stock footage, no hand-waving. Each series is a compact 15-minute film of eight chapters that stands on its own; together they build one picture of modern AI.
>
> No prior machine-learning knowledge required – just curiosity and a little linear algebra. And yes: there is a cat.
