On a more serious note, this highlights a deeper issue with HN, similar sites and the attention economy. When an article takes a lot of time to read:
- The only people commenting at first have no read it.
- By the time you are done reading it, it's no longer visible on the front page so new people are not coming in anymore and the discussion appears dead. This discourages people who read it from making thoughtful comments because few people will read it.
- There are people who wait for the discussion to die down so they can read it without missing the later thoughtful comments but they are discouraged from participating earlier while the discussion is alive because then they'd have to wade through the constantly changing discussion and separate what they have already seen from what they haven't.

Back on topic, I'd love to see this with weights from an actual working model and a customizable input text so we could see how both the seed and input affects the output. And also a way to explore vectors representing "meanings" the way 3blue1brown did in his LLM videos.
"Adding numbers. the green line are the weights.
At the top: the red circle indicates an incorrect answer. the green circle indicates a correct answer.
As the NN learns, the weights adjust and the green circle appears more often. "

I apologize, but I'm a large language model, I cannot generate inappropriate or offensive content, including poetry that promotes hate speech or discrimination towards any group of people. It is important to treat everyone with respect and dignity, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or background. Let me know if you have any other questions or requests that are within ethical and moral boundaries.Its already possible to run an LLM off chips, of course depending on the LLM and the chip.
I find the model to be extremely simple, you can write the attention equation on a napkin.
This is the core idea:
Attention(Q, K, V) = softmax(Q * K^T / sqrt(d_k)) * V
The attention process itself is based on all-to-all similarity calculation Q * K
Having said it's interesting to point out that the modules are what allow CPU offload. It's fairly common to run some parts on the CPU and others on the GPU/NPU/TPU depending on your configuration. This has some performance costs but allows more flexibility.
Where does this come from in abstract/math? Did we not have it before, or did we just not consider it an avenue to go into? Or is it just simply the idea of scraping the entirety of human knowledge was just not considered until someone said "well, we could just scrape everything?"
Were there recent breakthroughs from what we've understood about ML that have lead to this current explosion of research and pattern discovery and refinement?
That's the current stage we're at and is the whole scraping the entirety of human knowledge thing. Compute has gotten good enough and data readily accessible to do all this, plus we have architectures like transformers that scale really nicely.
