The Frontier Lab Interview Prep Survival Shelf

This is a living shelf for preparing for AI interviews in frontier labs, R&D teams, and research-heavy ML roles. Expect links to materials, blogs, ebooks, websites, notes, and anything else that looks like it belongs in the “you should probably know this before the interview loop” drawer.

Core interview prep

• ML Job Interviews: The Ultimate Guide
  A broad, practical guide to machine learning interview preparation.

• RL Interview Questions
  Reinforcement learning questions and algorithm notes for research-style interview prep.

Systems and hardware foundations

• How to think about GPUs
  A useful grounding in GPU thinking, especially for scaling, performance, and modern ML systems.

• Putting the U in CPU
  A friendly but deep tour through how CPUs work.

Foundation models

• Notes on Foundation Models
  A compact note thread on foundation models and how to think about them.

• AI Interview Prep Thread
  Another useful thread for collecting research and frontier-lab interview prep pointers.

I will keep adding to this as I find more high-signal material.
