Lovely visualization. I like the very concrete depiction of middle layers "recognizing features", that make the whole machine feel more plausible. I'm also a fan of visualizing things, but I think its important to appreciate that some things (like 10,000 dimension vector as the input, or even a 100 dimension vector as an output) can't be concretely visualized, and you have to develop intuitions in more roundabout ways.

I hope make more of these, I'd love to see a transformer presented more clearly.

For the visual learners, here's a classic intro to how LLMs work: https://bbycroft.net/llm

This is just scratching the surface -- where neural networks were thirty years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MNIST_database

If you want to understand neural networks, keep going.

As someone who does not use Twitter, I suggest adding RSS to your site.

Oh wow, this looks like a 3d render of a perceptron when I started reading about neural networks. I guess essentially neural networks are built based on that idea? Inputs > weight function to to adjust the final output to desired values?

Yes, vanilla neural networks are just lots of perceptrons

I love this visual article as well:

I like the style of the site it has a "vintage" look

Don't think it's moire effect but yeah looking at the pattern

Oh god my eyes! As it zooms in (ha)

That's cool, rendering shades in the old days

Man those graphics are so good damn

Spent 10 minutes on the site and I think this is where I'll start my day from next week! I just love visual based learning.

This visualizations reminds me of the 3blue1brown videos.

I was thinking the same thing. Its at least the same description.
