Definitely looks quite nice, stylistically!
If you look closer there are a number of subtle issues / hallucinations. One example there is a claim that "hello world" tokenizes into 3… https://t.co/mMjK27Uk2yClaude 3 takes on the Tokenization book chapter challenge 🙂 context: https://

– then I made the video building it from scratch,
