I built GPT-2 for $31.99

From Looking Glass Universe. The difference between this video and the last GPT I made is that that one was a toy model. It was trained on a very small set of data (the works of Shakespeare) and it doesn’t get very good. This one is much bigger, and reaches the level of GPT-2. It…

AlphaFold 3 deep dive

From Looking Glass Universe. This video is a long and detailed description of AlphaFold 3. I’ve been spending a lot of time understanding the algorithm and this video is the result of that. But if you just want to get the gist of the algorithm then I’d recommend these much shorter videos I’ve made: AlphaFold…
