Semiconductors and AI, from the ground upFrom the physics of matter to CNNs and VLMs — with nothing skipped in between
Note — a plainer restatementKey — the core ideaCaution — easy to get wrong in practice
The vocabulary of this field is easy to use without understanding: bandgap, CMOS, quantization, attention. You can memorise each one, but memorised terms do not transfer. This notebook connects them into a single chain of cause and effect — Part I builds from matter to chips, Part II follows the models that run on them.
