    I graduated from Computer Science in 2017. Back then, the cutting edge of ML were Recurrent Neural Networks, in which I based my thesis. This video (and I'm sure the rest of this series) just allowed me to catch up to years of advancements in so little time.
    I cannot describe how important your teaching style is to the world. I've been reading articles, blogs, papers on embeddings and these topics for years now and I never got it quite like I got it today. In less than 30 minutes.
    Imagine a world in which every teacher taught like you. We would save millions and millions of man hours every hour.

      You can actually try this out in your nearest large language model, like ChatGPT, CoPilot, Gemini, or Mistral. Just ask it to do vector math on the words. Since there isn't a predefined vector word calculus in English, the LLM defaults to just using a version of its own internal representation, and so it can eke out pretty results. I was able to duplicate Hitler - Germany + Italy = Mussolini and sushi - Japan + Germany = sausage (or bratwurst, bother score highly) in GPT-3.5-Turbo Complete.
      It also figured out sushi - Japan + Lebanon = shawarma; sushi - Japan + Korea = kimchi; Hitler - Germany + Spain = Franco; and Hitler - Germany + Russia = Stalin.

      There is a related idea here in how Roombas navigate houses. They clearly are forming a map of your house in their memory, but there is no guarantee they see it the same way we do i.e. the different zones they see in your house may not correspond nicely to the actual rooms in the house. In the end, though, it doesn't really matter, as long as the job gets done correctly

I feel like you've really given thought to the learners perception and are kind enough to take the time and address asides and gotchas while you meticulously build components and piece them together all with a very natural progression that's moving towards "something" (hopefully comprehension).

    Hello 3b1b, I wanted to say a huge thank you for this specific video. This was exactly what I've been needing. Every now and again, I thought to myself, as someone who's been interested in machine learning for my whole adult life, that I should really get a deep understanding of how a transformer works, to the point that I could implement a functional, albeit not efficient, one myself.
    Well, I'm on my way to that, this is at least a great introduction (and knowing your channel I really mean GREAT), and I really wanted to thank you for that!
    I know this is not much, but I'm not in a position to support this channel in a more meaningful way at the moment.

    As an ML researcher this is an amazing video ❤. But please allow me to nitpick a little at 21:45
    It’s important to note that while the “un-embedding layer” of a Transformer typically have a different set of weights from the embedding layer, in OpenAI’s GPT model each vector for each word in the un-embedding layer is exactly the same vector as ones in the embedding layer.
    This is not the case for Transformer models that has the output be in a different domain than the input (e.g, translating to a different language), but since the video is specifically talking about GPT. This is the specific of the implementation detailed in the “Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training” paper by OpenAI.
    The reusing weights make sense here because each the vector from the embedding is a sort of “context free” representation of the word. So there is not need to learn another set of weights.

    The different sampling has to do with the search algorithm, like beam search, or any search involving topk or some tally of probabilities for the final score of the output. Any temperature will not change that the most probable token is the most probable token, so in a greedy search the temperature does not affect the output. This is a very common misconception, I'm a bit disappointed that it was slightly misleading here.
