Let's Build The GPT Tokenizer

- Andrej Karpathy tl;dr: “In this lecture we build from scratch the Tokenizer used in the GPT series from OpenAI. In the process, we will see that a lot of weird behaviors and problems of LLMs actually trace back to tokenization. We'll go through a number of these issues, discuss why tokenization is at fault, and why someone out there ideally finds a way to delete this stage entirely.”

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

- Stephan Wolfram tl;dr: "My purpose here is to give a rough outline of what’s going on inside ChatGPT—and then to explore why it is that it can do so well in producing what we might consider to be meaningful text. I should say at the outset that I’m going to focus on the big picture of what’s going on—and while I’ll mention some engineering details, I won’t get deeply into them.”

GPT In 60 Lines Of NumPy

- Jay Mody tl;dr: "In this post, we'll implement a GPT from scratch in just 60 lines of numpy. We'll then load the trained GPT-2 model weights released by OpenAI into our implementation and generate some text.”

Let's Build GPT: From Scratch, In Code, Spelled Out

- Andrej Karpathy tl;dr: "We build a GPT, following the paper "Attention is All You Need" and OpenAI's GPT-2 / GPT-3. We talk about connections to ChatGPT, which has taken the world by storm. We watch GitHub Copilot, itself a GPT, help us write a GPT."

How GPT3 Works - Visualizations And Animations

- Jay Alammar tl;dr: "The dataset of 300 billion tokens of text is used to generate training examples for the model. For example, these are three training examples generated from the one sentence at the top. You can see how you can slide a window across all the text and make lots of examples."

The GPT-3 Architecture, On A Napkin

- Daniel Dugas tl;dr: "There are so many brilliant posts on GPT-3, demonstrating what it can do, pondering its consequences, vizualizing how it works. With all these out there, it still took a crawl through several papers and blogs before I was confident that I had grasped the architecture. So the goal for this page is humble, but simple: help others build an as detailed as possible understanding of the GPT-3 architecture."

Using GPT-3 To Explain How Code Works

- Simon Willison tl;dr: "One of my favourite uses for the GPT-3 AI language model is generating explanations of how code works. It’s shockingly effective at this: its training set clearly include a vast amount of source code. Simon shows a few recent examples."
