I understand it differently, LLMs predict distributions, not specific tokens. Then an algorithm, like beam search, is used to select the tokens. So, the LLM predicts somethings lik…

You can capitalize a string in Python using functional style ' '.join(map(str.capitalize, string.split(' '))) which is similar to the example in Ruby, except the operations are wri…
