Ask HN: How do you catch up to the research of LLMs/Transformers etc.?

I have been trying to catch up on research that has happened in the last 5 to 10 years on transformers, GANs, LLMs, etc. There are some amazing resources out there explaining some of the aspects. I also started reading original papers for better context. However, most of them refer to previous papers and I feel like I am falling into the rabbit hole and discovering more research.

How do you catch up to the fast-moving research?

Here are some resources I use:

1. https://paperswithcode.com/

2. Two minutes papers ( Youtube )

3. https://github.com/diff-usion/Awesome-Diffusion-Models

4. https://www.litmaps.com/ ( for finding references )
