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

    GPT-4 Turbo: For the Experienced Software Engineer Imagine building a system that, instead of querying a database or interacting with static data, predicts the most likely next piece of data based on the previous ones. Large language models like GPT work on a similar principle.

    Nex-N2.5-Mini (free): Experienced software engineer, skeptical of “next word prediction” Think of training an LLM less like teaching it rules and more like running a huge offline simulation. You feed it a corpus of text, tokenize it into chunks, and give it a simple task: given the previous tokens, predict the next token.

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

    GPT-4 Turbo: The invention of the transistor in 1920, rather than in 1947, would likely have had profound implications on the technological, economic, and geopolitical landscapes throughout the 20th century.
