two case studies of NaN IEEE-754 NaN is weird. and because of that, it's often accidentally left unaccounted for. i found two instances of this leaking into programming language design. that is, the semantics of these languages hold implicit assumptions which break with NaN.
No, Qwen 27B Isn't Enough A Hacker News thread said a 27 billion parameter model is all you need for real coding work. I’ve run that model against real codebases. It isn’t, and here’s the math on why.
Building intuition about LLM parameter counts The percentage of parameters that are used by different parts of an LLM can be quite unintuitive. Here's a visualiser for the GPT-2 architecture.
