Now, two studies by researchers from the company Anthropic have started to figure out, fundamentally, what transformers are doing when they process and generate text. In their first paper, released in December, the authors look at simplified versions of the architecture and fully explain how they function. “They give a very nice characterization of how they work in the very simple case,” said Yonatan Belinkov of the Technion in Haifa, Israel. “I’m very positive about this work. It’s interesting, promising, kind of unique and novel.”
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
