GitHub – dabochen/spreadsheet-is-all-you-need: A nanoGPT pipeline packed in a spreadsheet

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/12

A great visualisation that LLM are basically a bunch of numbers: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – dabochen/spreadsheet-is-all-you-need: A nanoGPT pipeline packed in a spreadsheet.

It also shows you that Excel is an excellent tool for working with numbers and formulas on a larger scale.

(note the file is a .numbers file developed in the Mac version of Excel)

It is a nanoGPT designed by @karpathy with about 85000 parameters, small enough to be packed into a spreadsheet file. It is great for learning about how transformer works as it shows all the data and parameters going”

I recreated an entire GPT architecture in a spreadsheet.
It is a nanoGPT designed by @karpathy with about 85000 parameters, small enough to be packed into a spreadsheet file.

It is great for learning about how transformer works as it shows all the data and parameters going through a transformer pipeline, and all the calculations are actually working inside those cells.

Here is a link to the project where you can download the file and play with it yourself. No coding needed, it is just a spreadsheet. 😉
Spreadsheet is all you need:

Also thanks to @BrendanBycroft with his LLM visualisation project which inspired this.
