  • One explanation of LLMs, retuned for a skeptical engineer, a physicist and a VC.

    Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview: To the Experienced Software Engineer At its core, training a Large Language Model is essentially a massive, distributed, continuous optimization job. Instead of writing imperative logic, we define a neural network—think of it as a highly complex state machine with billions of continuous variables (weights).

    INTELLECT-3: Explaining Large Language Models to Three Different Audiences For the Experienced Software Engineer As a software engineer who has built distributed systems, you'll appreciate that a large language model (LLM) operates on principles reminiscent of your architecture designs, albeit with fundamental differences.

  • A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.

    Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview: To estimate the total number of FLOPs (Floating Point Operations) required to train GPT-3, we can use a well-established heuristic in deep learning for estimating the compute cost of training Transformer-based large language models. The estimated total compute is roughly $3.15 \times 10^{23}$ FLOPs.

    INTELLECT-3: To estimate the total number of FLOPs required to train GPT-3, we need to consider the model architecture, training process, and dataset size. GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters, a context length of 2048 tokens, 96 layers, a hidden dimension of 12,288, and a feed-forward dimension of 49,152 (4 × hidden dimension).

  • The transistor arrives in 1920. Trace it forward to 1980, second-order effects included.

    Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview: If a working semiconductor transistor had been invented in 1920—perhaps by a physicist like Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, who historically filed a theoretical patent for a field-effect transistor in 1925—the trajectory of the 20th century would have been radically altered.
