An animated walk through the 2017 Transformer paper — why recurrence was the bottleneck, and how self-attention lets every word look at every other word at once, in parallel. Scaled dot-product and multi-head attention, sinusoidal positional encodings, the encoder–decoder stack, and the results that changed the field.
20 June 2026
A visual field guide to how modern language models are built — dense vs Mixture-of-Experts (active vs total parameters), decoder-only stacks, the KV cache and attention variants (MHA → GQA → MQA → MLA), RoPE, RMSNorm and SwiGLU — with real specs from GPT, Llama, Gemma, Qwen and DeepSeek.
20 June 2026
A look inside the black box: what actually happens to your prompt once it enters a language model. Tokens to embeddings, attention reading the whole context at once, the next-token decision — and how system prompts and rules steer every token, one prediction at a time.
20 June 2026
A visual, technical field guide to the GPU — from a single transistor to the silicon that trains frontier models. SIMT warps and massive parallelism, the memory hierarchy and HBM bandwidth, Tensor Cores and low-precision math (FP16/FP8/FP4), and why matrix multiply is the whole game.
