How LLMs Work: Beyond Traditional Programming Misconceptions
By
–
LLMs aren’t “programmed” in the traditional sense. Many still think AI models are hand-crafted by engineers—just like symbolic AI. That’s not how modern large language models (LLMs) work. This misunderstanding leads to two big problems: 1. Underestimating what LLMs can

Fine-tuning GPT-2: When LLMs Aren’t Necessary for ML
By
–
After playing with fine-tuning gpt-2 for some simple classification tasks, my honest take is that for most *supervised* ML projects you really, really, really don’t need the LLMs. For simple image/text/signal problems use a pre-trained nn, such as one of the deep NNs trained on

Optimus n’a jamais été entraîné dans le monde réel.
— VISION IA (@vision_ia) 5 juin 2025
Tous ses mouvements viennent de la matrice, un monde équivalent à la simulation.
Puis transférés en zero-shot dans le robot physique.
Bienvenue dans l’ère où les machines apprennent dans leur propre matrice.
Et ça… https://t.co/EsJk26XT5y pic.twitter.com/hsDs4vVOvJOptimus n’a jamais été entraîné dans le monde réel. Tous ses mouvements viennent de la matrice, un monde équivalent à la simulation.

Pretraining: The Beautiful Art of Learning to Compress Knowledge

pretraining, the act of learning-to-compress the entirety of human knowledge and thereby creating a general-purpose model that can simulate any natural process, is really a beautiful learning paradigm. everything is just going to get messier & more complicated from here
