Animated LLM – Understand the Mechanics of LLMs (animatedllm.github.io)

A new educational resource titled "Animated LLM" has been launched, providing users with a visually engaging way to understand the mechanics of Large Language Models (LLMs). This platform offers simple visualizations demonstrating how LLMs generate text in response to prompts and the underlying processes, including the Transformer architecture’s handling of individual tokens. The animations aim to demystify complex concepts, making them accessible to a broader audience interested in AI. Significantly, this initiative serves to bridge the knowledge gap in the AI/ML community, particularly for those new to the field or without a technical background. By illustrating both the text generation and training processes, the resource highlights critical aspects of LLM functionality, such as how these models learn from training data and refine their outputs over time. This hands-on approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of LLMs but also encourages further exploration into their applications and implications in natural language processing and artificial intelligence as a whole.
