So, three-quarters of the people remained. That's a good result.

I'm a serial entrepreneur from China, and I've been here for 14 years now. HN is still the website I check every single day. Truly grateful to everyone in this community.

Do you have any plan to turn it into a full book—maybe called Grokking Linear Algebra ?

Actually Z.ai is a spinoff of Tsinghua University and one of the first China labs open sourcing its own large models (GLM released in 2021) . https://github.com/THUDM/GLM

I am curious whether this theory can explain some phenomena of large language models.

I am teaching my daughter computer science. Are the key concepts in this article good starting points for learning?

Open-weights models are not really open source.

I tried this on ChatGLM, a frontier foundation model developed by Zhipu.ai and Tsinghua University, and it gave the correct answer: https://chatglm.cn/share/FoZBJ

They are just trying to see if they can come up with something big.

Unfortunately, these are two different processing.

I guess GPT-4 needs its own launch event. :)
