Image created using DALL·E 3 with this prompt: Create an image of an older-generation LLM, as personified by a robot, doing work at a desk. Gothic style. Aspect ratio: 16×9.
I just re-watched a video I first saw a few months ago: “Demystifying how GPT works: From Architecture to…Excel!?!” It’s a “how-to” video that uses a very clever Excel spreadsheet to walk through how large language models (LLMs) work. If you’ve been wondering exactly how an LLM takes your prompt and predicts what’s next, this will be 10 minutes well spent.
This may be just a bit too geeky; if it is, let me know. I’m putting the finishing touches on my AI for Brand Marketers Playbook, and I would truly appreciate your feedback about just how deep to go.
