  1. The Transformer Family Version 2.0

    Lilian Weng

    When a Transformer needs more context, less memory, or faster inference, which part of attention should change?

  2. From GPT-2 to gpt-oss: Analyzing the Architectural Advances

    Sebastian Raschka, PhD · Sebastian Raschka

    gpt-oss keeps the decoder-only Transformer but combines sparse expert routing, attention changes, and quantization to make large models more practical to run. The author’s benchmark comparisons are promising, but real-world reliability remains uncertain.

  3. Jev introduces a new shape of LLM

    Simon Willison

    Jev shifts an LLM from writing prose to returning typed decision scores. That suits classification, but its opaque numbers make evaluation and bias checks essential.

  4. microgpt

    Andrej Karpathy

    microgpt makes the GPT training-and-generation algorithm inspectable in 200 lines of dependency-free Python; its tiny scale is a feature for learning, not a model of production infrastructure.

  5. A Visual Guide to Attention Variants in Modern LLMs

    Sebastian Raschka, PhD · Sebastian Raschka

    The article’s useful map is about where each design saves work: cached state, attended positions, or full-attention layers.

  6. Introducing System One Models & Jev

    Typesafe

    TypeSafe’s thesis is that automating software calls for a different interface than chat: Jev returns typed, probabilistic decisions instead of free-form text.
