Curated 2025 “required reads” for the AI engineer by Latent Space.
Our design goals are:
- pick ~50 papers (~one1 a week for a year), optional extras. Arbitrary constraint.
- tell you why this paper matters instead of just name drop without helpful context
- be very practical for the AI Engineer; no time wasted on Attention is All You Need, bc 1) everyone else already starts there, 2) most won’t really need it at work
