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

    MiMo-V2.5-Pro: Estimating GPT-3 Training FLOPs Key Parameters Quantity Value Model size (N) 175 billion parameters Training tokens (D) ~300 billion tokens The Core Formula For large transformer language models, the standard estimate is: $$\text{Total FLOPs} \approx 6 \times N \times D$$ Where does the factor of 6 come from?

    Qwen Plus 0728 (thinking): To estimate the total FLOPs (floating-point operations) required to train GPT-3, I'll use first-principles reasoning based on standard deep learning training calculations, known details about GPT-3's architecture, and common training practices.

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

    MiMo-V2.5-Pro: The Transistor in 1920: A Counterfactual History Through 1980 This is one of the richest counterfactuals in technological history because the transistor wasn't just an incremental improvement—it was the foundational enabler of the entire digital age.

    Qwen Plus 0728 (thinking): The Transistor in 1920: A World Transformed by 1980 (A Counterfactual History) The invention of a functional point-contact transistor (likely germanium-based, given 1920s materials science) in 1920 wouldn't immediately spark a revolution.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    MiMo-V2.5-Pro: Answer: Sally has 1 sister. Here's the reasoning: Sally has 3 brothers. Each of those brothers has 2 sisters. Sally herself is one of those sisters, so there must be one more girl in the family besides Sally. That means the family has 2 daughters (Sally + 1 sister) and 3 sons. So Sally has 1 sister. 😊

    Qwen Plus 0728 (thinking): To determine how many sisters Sally has, let's analyze the family structure step by step. Step 1: Understand the Given Information Sally is a girl. She has 3 brothers. → This means there are 3 boys in the family (excluding Sally). Each brother has 2 sisters.
