Transformer Explainer

A live, inspectable GPT-2 in the browser gives learners something to manipulate after a forward-pass walkthrough. It sets a useful bar for explanations that invite investigation.

What stayed with us

A live, inspectable GPT-2 in the browser gives learners something to manipulate after a forward-pass walkthrough. It sets a useful bar for explanations that invite investigation.

02 · The local translation

What we did with it

Our ground-up sessions pair annotated source with outside interactive explanations. Transformer Explainer is a good companion because a learner can inspect a live model after reading about attention and the forward pass, rather than relying only on a static diagram.

03 · The boundary

Where the comparison stops

It is an external teaching project, not a PostTrainLLM runtime or a validation of our training results. Our reading list retains it as a learning reference; our own code and tests remain the authority for the local implementation.
