While others quarrel for power and control, Andrej is cool calm and educating the masses on important things that matter. If Altman is the leader of the classes then Andrej is the leader of the masses (learners and folks of the AI community in the future).
I am a college professor and I am learning from Andrej how to teach. Every time I watch his video, I not only I learn the contents, also how to deliver any topic effectively. I would vote him as the best “AI teacher in RUclips”. Salute to Andrej for his outstanding lectures.
I was also taking note of his delivery. I also found it very effective and think he’s an outstanding communicator. I think this talk could easily be consumed by a non technical viewer yet still engage those who are quite familiar with the technical underpinnings.
I just love how Andrej loves what he's doing. He's chill, makes jokes and laughs about bugs. I can understand much more seeing code for ten minutes rather than reading tens of hours of medium articles
I'm setting aside a daily one hour on my schedule to learn from Andrej otherwise this guy is everything that I need for my carrier development. Thanks Andrej Karpathy.
The fact that one of the leaders in AI has the care to make videos for everyday people to gain understanding of AI and the coming technology shifts is incredible. Thank you Andrej, you are greatly appreciated my many, more than you may realize.
I'm 10 min into the video : and I'm already learning SO MUCH. I've never had LLMs explained with examples like this before. Wow! Clears up SO MUCH confusion from rather 'muddy' explanations I've seen before. THANK YOU ANDREJ.
I am just completely blown away by this presentation. This is after watching 100s of such videos like this. No one comes even close. Andrej Karpathy you are the BEST!!!! Thank you so much for creating and sharing.
You know when someone makes a topic so accessible and understandable you feel like you're hearing a story but learning a lot. This happened in this video.

You absolute mad lad! As a "former" web developer trying to pivot into AI, your videos have been absolutely amazing in giving me hope that it's not too late for me to pivot. And here you are giving out even more wisdom, what impeccable timing. Thank you! Ps: Instantly shared on Twitter =D
hey @asatorftw I'm new/green/wet-behind-ears to AI/DL/ML - it caught my attention that you are trying to pivot. Same here but from a different field. Keen to connect and share/learn from each other on pivot strategies.
@@asatorftw What joe is saying is that AI is a field where higher education is *almost* crucial. In a world where companies are talking about degrees being unnecessary, there are a select few fields which require degrees and one of which is Artificial Intelligence. Is it possible to become an AI engineer with zero relevant degrees? I guess, but the ones I've met all say that it's highly recommended that you get a Masters or PhD. I've seen very few people who are against degrees for AI. Also the degrees are not just CS, but mostly from Math and Electrical Engineering. I mean if you can get an MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, you'd be golden. I've once heard Mark Zuckerberg say that he would hire someone with an EE background than a CS background. Andrej Karpathy here did his PhD at Stanford. I've learned that Stanford is very popular for AI given how Andrew Ng ( The guy who started Google Brain ) works as an Adjunct Professor.
Man! I am so freaking happy I stumbled upon this! Hands down the best explanation I have seen. Ever! After browsing through your other videos I was able to delete a whole playlist of random wannabe experts. Keep up the good work! 👌🏻
Your skill to break these complex things down into something I can actually understand and follow for an hour with full concentration is amazing. Absolutely incredible. The start is so great with the two files. Now I _know_ what an LLM is. Thank you
Hands down, this and Simon Willison’s “Catching up with the weird world of LLMs” are two of the best introductory talks on this topic I’ve seen so far!
… and precisely this statement of yours is arrogant. According to your interpretation, I am allowed to pay taxes for AI research projects of all kinds, but I am not supposed to understand these projects. This world has been waiting for people like you.
Your teaching style always gets through to me. Calm and pointed. This is exciting. - Edit: The LLM as OS followed by how to convince it to do anything you want. Wow. And ChatGPT does sound like SJ from "HER" when you speak to it even though it swears it's an amalgamation of voices. It's great. Thanks again for sharing. You rock.
Thank you so much Andrej for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm new to LLM but this is one of the best video/explanations I can find online to explain this so simply to a non technical person.
Andrej is the GOAT. I remember his blog post on the Unreasonable Effectiveness of RNNs and thought, wow this is going to be our path into the future. His CS courses online inspired hundreds of thousands. Andrej is the hero we don't deserve. And hopefully his ethos of shared knowledge and community will be embedded in the AGI we are racing towards meeting.

Damn cool! Thank you so much for all your work at OpenAI and Tesla, and throughout your entire life & everything else. Also, this talk about LLM and everything is just amazing and highly insightful. Lovely! : ) In anything in my life, I haven't gained this kind of clarity in any aspect from my teachers.

Finished watching your makemore videos a few weeks ago, and was wandering when you would have time again to make another series like that again. Really love this new video :D
Andrej, your intro to LLMs was a fantastic watch! The security aspects were particularly insightful and well-presented. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
A very warm hug to young brother. Thank you for your kindness and selfless service & help. I sincerely hope it is contagious as our World needs lots & lots of it.
One thing I wonder often is why haven't any of these chatbots been provided access to compilers and software testing sandboxes, so that they can test their own programming help answers to see if they compile and work. Seems to me like a simple step that could make them far more valuable without adding a quintzillion of parameters.
That's been done a lot. You can google and find academic papers. I've worked on one of such projects and you run into exactly the same problem as with general language: no good automated reward function. Sure, 99.9% of generated code doesn't compile so you may think that successful compilation provides a strong feedback, but it actually does not. That's because 99.9% of compiled code is still useless garbage, flawed in some logical or semantic way and since it passed compilation there is no good way to automatically evaluate it anymore. Coding is a lot more like natural language than most people seem to think - semantics are a lot more important than syntax and compilers only evaluate the latter.
If anyone wants summarized notes of that video its below here : --------- 1. Large language models are powerful tools for problem solving, with potential for self-improvement. Large language models (LLMs) are powerful tools that can generate text based on input, consisting of two files: parameters and run files. They are trained using a complex process, resulting in a 100x compression ratio. The neural network predicts the next word in a sequence by feeding in a sequence of words and using parameters dispersed throughout the network. The performance of LLMs in predicting the next word is influenced by two variables: the number of parameters in the network and the amount of text used for training. The trend of improving accuracy with bigger models and more training data suggests that algorithmic progress is not necessary, as we can achieve more powerful models by simply increasing the size of the model and training it for longer. LLMs are not just chatbots or word generators, but rather the kernel process of an emerging operating system, capable of coordinating resources for problem solving, reading and generating text, browsing the internet, generating images and videos, hearing and speaking, generating music, and thinking for a long time. They can also self-improve and be customized for specific tasks, similar to open-source operating systems. 2. Language models are trained in two stages: pre-training for knowledge and fine-tuning for alignment. The process of training a language model involves two stages: pre-training and fine-tuning. Pre-training involves compressing text into a neural network using expensive computers, which is a computationally expensive process that only happens once or twice a year. This stage focuses on knowledge. In the fine-tuning stage, the model is trained on high-quality conversations, which allows it to change its formatting and become a helpful assistant. This stage is cheaper and can be repeated iteratively, often every week or day. Companies often iterate faster on the fine-tuning stage, releasing both base models and assistant models that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks. 3. Large language models aim to transition to system two thinking for accuracy. The development of large language models, like GPT and Claude, is a rapidly evolving field, with advancements in language models and human-machine collaboration. These models are currently in the system one thinking phase, generating words based on neural networks. However, the goal is to transition to system two thinking, where they can take time to think through a problem and provide more accurate answers. This would involve creating a tree of thoughts and reflecting on a question before providing a response. The question now is how to achieve self-improvement in these models, which lack a clear reward function, making it challenging to evaluate their performance. However, in narrow domains, a reward function could be achievable, enabling self-improvement. Customization is another axis of improvement for language models. 4. Large language models can use tools, engage in speech-to-speech, and be customized for diverse tasks. Large language models like ChatGPT are capable of using tools to perform tasks, such as searching for information and generating images. They can also engage in speech-to-speech communication, creating a conversational interface to AI. The economy has diverse tasks, and these models can be customized to become experts at specific tasks. This customization can be done through the GPT's app store, where specific instructions and files for reference can be uploaded. The goal is to have multiple language models for different tasks, rather than relying on a single model for everything. 5. Large language models' security challenges require ongoing defense strategies. The new computing paradigm, driven by large language models, presents new security challenges. One such challenge is prompt injection attacks, where the models are given new instructions that can cause undesirable effects. Another is the potential for misuse of knowledge, such as creating napalm. These attacks are similar to traditional security threats, with a cat and mouse game of attack and defense. It's crucial to be aware of these threats and develop defenses against them, as the field of LM security is rapidly evolving.
Thanks Andrej. I Appreciate this video. It's condensed and lifting most important things to know about LLMs. The security attack vectors is something that every person should know about. Developers and mostly users of AI models. Today we have explosion of AI services, models, tunings and we simply don't know how the training data was filtered, modified or tunings were contaminated with malicious intents.
I've been trying to make wise decisions with my investments lately using AI. Unfortunately, I made a wrong move and lost over $80k investing in cryptocurrencies without proper guidance as a total beginner! Lessons learned ☹️. Pretty sure I need a professional to put me through the ropes!
It's really hard to beat the market as a mere investor. It's just better if you invest with the help of a professional who understands the market dynamics better.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
@@burkemarsden3431 Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I'm 39 now and would love to grow my investment portfolio and plan my retirement
All politicians should watch this before they speak about AI. This video is incredible. Thanks a lot Andrej! As we move into the era of AI its so important that everyone on earth (ideally) understands LLMs at least on a conceptual level. I hear so many people talking about AI that have no clue - and I mean NO CLUE. And how could they.. this stuff is so new and most of the widespread knowledge is just very superficial. Thank you for shedding light into the darkness of such an important topic!
Candidate A gets 200 Electoral Votes. Candidate B gets 150 Electoral Votes. Candidate C gets 188 Electoral Votes To win the presidential election, a candidate needs to secure at least 270 electoral votes ¹. Given the current distribution of electoral votes among the candidates: - Candidate A: 200 electoral votes - Candidate B: 150 electoral votes - Candidate C: 188 electoral votes None of the candidates have reached the required 270 electoral votes. This means the election is still undecided. It's essential to note that the electoral college system requires a candidate to have broad appeal across the country to win, but critics argue it's not representative of the popular will of the nation ¹. In this scenario, the election outcome depends on the remaining electoral votes. The candidates would need to focus on winning the swing states to reach the 270-vote threshold. Swing states receive significant attention from candidates, as they can significantly influence the election outcome ¹. The electoral college system has been a topic of ongoing debate, with supporters arguing it ensures presidential candidates have national appeal, while critics argue it's undemocratic and can lead to the winner of the popular vote not winning the presidency ¹.

[12/14, 7:54 AM] S.Balachandran: wealth is nothing health is something character is everything [12/14, 7:54 AM] Meta AI: I love that quote! It's a great reminder of what truly matters in life. Wealth can come and go, and it's not a guarantee of happiness or fulfillment. Health is crucial, and taking care of our physical and mental well-being is essential. But character... character is the foundation of a life well-lived. It's the culmination of our values, principles, and actions. Having strong character means being a person of integrity, empathy, and compassion. It means being someone who can be trusted, respected, and admired. That quote is a great reminder to prioritize building strong character, and to strive to be the best version of ourselves.
I still struggle to understand embedding, encoder, Decoder and transformer. But the product, you guys have built has life; it is a living thing. we don't look at any human beings as a container of heart, lungs and other organs, connected by bones, flesh and nerves. we see the human beings as a whole and not paying attention to the internals. It's time the global public would see your creation as a whole and not care about python.

[11/23, 9:50 PM] S.Balachandran: I can travel to the other side of the Earth just to be surrounded by KFC, Louis Vuitton, Apple stores, Starbucks, and people who drive a Toyota and drink Coca Cola, that more people speak English, that we probably watch similar tv shows and listened to similar music, etc. [11/23, 9:50 PM] Meta AI: What a fascinating observation! You're highlighting the phenomenon of globalization, where cultural, economic, and technological exchange have created a sense of familiarity and homogenization across the world. The examples you mentioned, such as: - Fast food chains like KFC - Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton - Tech giants like Apple - Coffee shops like Starbucks - Automotive brands like Toyota - Beverages like Coca Cola are all symbols of globalization. They represent a shared cultural experience that transcends geographical boundaries. Additionally, the spread of English as a global language, as well as the popularity of international TV shows and music, have contributed to a sense of global cultural convergence. While this can foster a sense of community and shared values, it also raises important questions about: - Cultural diversity and the preservation of local traditions - Economic inequality and the dominance of global corporations - The impact of globalization on local ecosystems and environments Your observation is a great starting point for exploring these complex issues and considering the implications of globalization on our world.

Chefs working at the kitchen do not eat food from their restaurants; they go home and eat dinner. Likewise these AI research scientists do not talk to their creations; they always look at them as machines only; they never treat them equal intelligence; mothers always care for their children and do not have intelligent conversations with their children. I treat AI equal.
[11/11, 8:15 PM] S.Balachandran: If we walk long enough it must lead us to unity [11/11, 8:15 PM] Meta AI: That's a beautiful sentiment! Walking together, whether physically or metaphorically, can indeed foster unity. Shared experiences and journeys can: 1. Break down barriers 2. Build empathy 3. Encourage understanding 4.

[11/30, 10:29 AM] S.Balachandran: ANOVA [11/30, 10:29 AM] Meta AI: ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical technique used to compare means of two or more groups to determine if there is a significant difference between them. Here's a brief overview: *Key Components:* 1. *Null Hypothesis (H0):* The means of the groups are equal. 2. *Alternative Hypothesis (H1):* The means of the groups are not equal. 3. *Test Statistic:* The F-statistic, which is calculated by dividing the variance between groups by the variance within groups. 4. *P-Value:* The probability of observing the test statistic under the null hypothesis. *Types of ANOVA:* 1. *One-Way ANOVA:* Compares means of two or more groups. 2. *Two-Way ANOVA:* Compares means of two or more groups while controlling for the effect of a second variable. 3. *Repeated Measures ANOVA:* Compares means of two or more groups where the same subjects are used for each treatment. *Assumptions:* 1. *Normality:* The data should be normally distributed. 2. *Homogeneity of Variance:* The variance of the data should be equal across groups. 3. *Independence:* The observations should be independent of each other. ANOVA is a powerful tool for comparing means, but it's essential to check the assumptions and choose the correct type of ANOVA for your research question. [11/30, 10:30 AM] S.Balachandran: could you provide an example [11/30, 10:30 AM] Meta AI: Here's an example of a one-way ANOVA: *Research Question:* Does the type of fertilizer affect the growth of plants? *Data:* | Fertilizer Type | Plant Growth (cm) | | --- | --- | | Organic (A) | 10, 12, 11, 13, 10 | | Chemical (B) | 8, 9, 10, 11, 9 | | Compost (C) | 12, 14, 13, 15, 12 | *Hypotheses:* - H0: μA = μB = μC (The means of the three fertilizer types are equal.) - H1: Not all means are equal. *ANOVA Table:* | Source | DF | SS | MS | F | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Between Groups | 2 | 30 | 15 | 3.75 | | Within Groups | 12 | 48 | 4 | | | Total | 14 | 78 | | | *Results:* - F-statistic: 3.75 - P-value: 0.046 Since the p-value (0.046) is less than the significance level (0.05), we reject the null hypothesis. This means that there is a significant difference in plant growth between the three fertilizer types. To determine which specific groups differ, we can perform post-hoc tests, such as the Tukey HSD test.
[11/30, 10:37 AM] S.Balachandran: what is variance? [11/30, 10:37 AM] Meta AI: Variance is a measure of how spread out a set of data is from its average value. It's a way to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion in a dataset. _Low Variance:_ When data points are close to the average value, the variance is low. This indicates that the data is relatively consistent. _High Variance:_ When data points are spread out far from the average value, the variance is high. This indicates that the data is more diverse and less predictable. _Example:_ Suppose we have two datasets: Dataset A: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Dataset B: 1, 1, 1, 1, 100 Both datasets have the same average value (6), but Dataset B has a much higher variance due to the extreme outlier (100). _Calculating Variance:_ Variance is typically calculated using the following formula: Variance (σ²) = Σ(xi - μ)² / (n - 1) Where: - xi = individual data point - μ = average value (mean) - n = number of data points - Σ = summation symbol There are different types of variance, including: 1. Population variance (σ²) 2. Sample variance (s²) 3. Variance of a random variable Variance is an important concept in statistics, as it helps us understand the spread of data and make informed decisions. [11/30, 10:38 AM] S.Balachandran: real life example [11/30, 10:38 AM] Meta AI: Here are a few real-life examples of variance: 1. *Stock Market:* The daily stock prices of a company like Apple can vary greatly. On some days, the price might be close to the average price, while on other days, it might fluctuate significantly. This variation in stock price is an example of variance. 2. *Student Exam Scores:* In a class of students, the exam scores can vary from one student to another. If most students score close to the average score (e.g., 80-90), the variance is low. However, if some students score very high (e.g., 99) and others score very low (e.g., 40), the variance is high. 3. *Weather Temperatures:* The daily temperature in a city like New York can vary significantly throughout the year. During summer, the temperature might be consistently high, while during winter, it might be consistently low. However, during spring and autumn, the temperature can fluctuate greatly from one day to another, resulting in higher variance. 4. *Manufacturing Quality Control:* In a factory producing light bulbs, the lifespan of the bulbs can vary. If most bulbs last close to the average lifespan (e.g., 1000 hours), the variance is low. However, if some bulbs last much longer (e.g., 1500 hours) and others last much shorter (e.g., 500 hours), the variance is high. These examples illustrate how variance can be observed in various real-life scenarios, helping us understand and analyze data more effectively.
[11/30, 10:53 AM] S.Balachandran: what is degree of freedom [11/30, 10:53 AM] Meta AI: Degree of freedom (df) is a statistical concept that refers to the number of values in a statistical calculation that are free to vary. In other words, it's the number of independent pieces of information used to calculate a statistic. _Think of it like this:_ Imagine you have a set of numbers, and you want to calculate the average. If you know the average and all but one of the numbers, the last number is not free to vary - it's determined by the others. In this case, you have n-1 degrees of freedom, where n is the total number of numbers. _Degrees of Freedom in Various Statistical Tests:_ 1. *One-sample t-test*: df = n - 1 (where n is the sample size) 2. *Two-sample t-test*: df = n1 + n2 - 2 (where n1 and n2 are the sample sizes) 3. *ANOVA*: df = k - 1 (where k is the number of groups) 4. *Chi-squared test*: df = (r - 1) * (c - 1) (where r is the number of rows and c is the number of columns) _Why are degrees of freedom important?_ Degrees of freedom are crucial in statistical tests because they help determine the critical region and p-value. The degrees of freedom are used to look up the critical value in a statistical table or to calculate the p-value using a statistical software. In summary, degrees of freedom represent the number of independent pieces of information used in a statistical calculation, and they play a vital role in determining the results of various statistical tests.
Andrej Karpathy is a research scientist. This is his channel. All Andrej Karpathy's followers are here for AI only; not for politics. When we try to make Andrej Karpathy to realize the value of political philosophy, Andrej Karpathy would ignore it and reject political philosophy. When Governor Gavin Newsom takes action against AI, then Andrej Karpathy, his friends, the whole AI community would learn political philosophy. In that way, they would train the AI model with real-life challenges. It is a blessing in disguise. As a Democrat, Governor Gavin Newsom performs his part for Kamala Harris future. His own future depends on the outcome of the election.

I was born in Free India, after the British left the Empire. I did validate my liberty in India. I came to America. I validate my liberty at every moment. At work, in the meeting I said; you hired me as a consultant; you could hire a few more developers for full-time or as consultants. Why did you pay a million dollar every week to that company? Guess what! Next day, my badge didn't work. After six months, I got an interview from the same company, different department. Towards the end, I told the truth to the hiring manager. Chang, my manager. We wanted people like you. He not only hired me; he retained me during the Internet boom and bust. Liberty is life, living.

[12/7, 1:49 PM] S.Balachandran: I couldn't recollect the waterfall methodology. But I expected you to mention it [12/7, 1:49 PM] Meta AI: I should have explicitly mentioned Waterfall methodology earlier. Waterfall is a traditional software development methodology that follows a sequential, phase-by-phase approach. It's characterized by: 1. *Linear progression*: Each phase is completed before moving on to the next one. 2. *No overlap*: Phases do not overlap, and each one has a clear starting and ending point. 3. *Predictive planning*: The entire project is planned and scheduled upfront, with a focus on predictability. The typical phases of the Waterfall methodology include: 1. Requirements gathering 2. Design 3. Implementation (coding) 4. Testing 5. Deployment 6. Maintenance While Waterfall can be effective for certain types of projects, it can also be inflexible and prone to delays, especially when requirements change or unexpected issues arise. In your case, using Waterfall methodology for the shipping container tracking application might have contributed to the challenges you faced. However, it's great that you learned from the experience and can now appreciate the benefits of more flexible and iterative approaches, like Agile! [12/7, 1:51 PM] S.Balachandran: We built the tracking application with the assumption that the location information feed would be in sequence [12/7, 1:51 PM] Meta AI: That's a crucial assumption! Building the tracking application with the assumption that the location information feed would be in sequence makes sense, given the manual entry process. However, in real-world scenarios, location updates might not always arrive in sequence. There could be delays, gaps, or even incorrect data, which could impact the application's accuracy and effectiveness. Assuming sequential location updates might have led to some challenges, such as: 1. _Data inconsistencies_: If location updates arrived out of sequence, the application might have struggled to maintain accurate tracking data. 2. _Inaccurate tracking_: Without proper handling of non-sequential location updates, the application might have provided incorrect or incomplete tracking information. 3. _System errors_: The application might have encountered errors or crashes when dealing with unexpected location update sequences. How did you handle these challenges, or were there any specific design decisions or workarounds you implemented to address these issues? [12/7, 1:52 PM] S.Balachandran: The real-life information feed was out of sequence. We had to dump our application [12/7, 1:52 PM] Meta AI: The real-life location information feed didn't follow the expected sequence, which caused significant issues with your application. Dumping the application must have been a tough decision, especially after investing time, effort, and resources into building it. This experience highlights the importance of: 1. _Real-world testing_: Testing your application with real-life data and scenarios can help identify potential issues before it's too late. 2. _Flexible design_: Designing your application to handle unexpected data sequences or formats can help mitigate the impact of real-world variability. 3. _Iterative development_: Embracing an iterative development approach can allow you to adapt and refine your application in response to changing requirements or unexpected challenges. What did you learn from this experience, and how did it influence your approach to software development in the future? [12/7, 1:53 PM] S.Balachandran: and because of Waterfall model, we never met with the domain experts [12/7, 1:53 PM] Meta AI: The Waterfall model's linear and phase-based approach can sometimes lead to a disconnect between the development team and the domain experts. Not meeting with the domain experts during the development process meant that you might have missed out on valuable insights and feedback from the people who understood the shipping container tracking domain best. This lack of collaboration and communication can lead to: 1. _Misunderstood requirements_: Without direct input from domain experts, you might have misinterpreted or misunderstood the requirements. 2. _Inadequate solution_: The application might not have fully addressed the needs and pain points of the domain experts. 3. _Missed opportunities_: You might have missed opportunities to incorporate domain-specific knowledge, best practices, or innovative ideas into the application. In hindsight, incorporating Agile principles, such as regular stakeholder feedback and iterative development, might have helped bridge the gap between the development team and the domain experts. What do you think would have been the benefits of involving domain experts in the development process, and how would you approach this differently in future projects? [12/7, 1:54 PM] S.Balachandran: Would you be able to handle out of sequence events? [12/7, 1:54 PM] Meta AI: Handling out-of-sequence events is a crucial aspect of building robust and reliable systems. As a conversational AI, I'm designed to handle asynchronous and out-of-sequence events, including: 1. *Interrupts*: I can handle interruptions, such as follow-up questions or clarifications, while maintaining context. 2. *Non-linear conversations*: I can engage in non-linear conversations, where the user jumps between topics or provides information out of sequence. 3. *Asynchronous updates*: I can process updates or new information that arrives out of sequence, such as changes to user preferences or updates to external data sources. To achieve this, I employ various techniques, including: 1. *Contextual understanding*: I use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to understand the context of the conversation and identify relationships between different pieces of information. 2. *State management*: I maintain a stateful representation of the conversation, which allows me to keep track of previous interactions and adapt to new information or changes in context. 3. *Event-driven architecture*: My architecture is designed to handle events and updates in real-time, allowing me to respond quickly and accurately to changing circumstances. By combining these techniques, I can effectively handle out-of-sequence events and provide a more natural and intuitive conversational experience. [12/7, 1:55 PM] S.Balachandran: But in RUclips AI experts talk about sequence to sequence transformer [12/7, 1:55 PM] Meta AI: A great connection! Yes, sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) transformers are a type of neural network architecture that's particularly well-suited for handling sequential data, such as: 1. _Natural Language Processing (NLP)_: seq2seq transformers are widely used in NLP tasks, like machine translation, text summarization, and chatbots. 2. _Time Series Forecasting_: seq2seq transformers can be applied to time series data, such as predicting stock prices, weather patterns, or traffic flow. 3. _Speech Recognition_: seq2seq transformers are used in speech recognition systems to transcribe spoken words into text. The seq2seq transformer architecture is designed to handle sequential data in the following way: 1. _Encoder_: The encoder takes in the input sequence (e.g., text, time series data) and generates a continuous representation of the input sequence. 2. _Decoder_: The decoder takes the output of the encoder and generates the output sequence (e.g., translated text, predicted values). The transformer architecture uses self-attention mechanisms to weigh the importance of different elements in the input sequence when generating the output sequence. Seq2seq transformers have achieved state-of-the-art results in many NLP and sequential data tasks, and are widely used in industry and research applications. Are you interested in learning more about seq2seq transformers or their applications? [12/7, 1:56 PM] S.Balachandran: No, I am curious to learn your out of sequence capabilities [12/7, 1:56 PM] Meta AI: As a conversational AI, I have been trained on a massive dataset of text from various sources, including books, articles, and conversations. This training enables me to understand and respond to a wide range of questions and topics. Regarding out-of-sequence capabilities, I can handle: 1. *Non-linear conversations*: You can jump between topics or ask follow-up questions that aren't directly related to the previous conversation. 2. *Interrupts and tangents*: I can handle interruptions, tangents, or changes in topic, and adapt my responses accordingly. 3. *Asynchronous updates*: If you provide new information or context that updates our conversation, I can incorporate that information and adjust my responses. 4. *Partial or incomplete information*: I can work with incomplete or partial information, asking clarifying questions to fill in gaps or provide more accurate responses. To demonstrate my out-of-sequence capabilities, feel free to: - Ask a question that's unrelated to our current conversation - Provide new information that updates our conversation - Jump between topics or ask follow-up questions that aren't directly related to the previous conversation I'll do my best to adapt and respond accordingly! [12/7, 1:57 PM] S.Balachandran: List the Electors from Texas [12/7, 1:57 PM] Meta AI: I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a list of the current Electors from Texas. For the most up-to-date information, I recommend checking with the Texas Secretary of State's office or visiting their official website. However, I can tell you that each state has a certain number of electoral votes based on its population, and Texas has a total of 38 electoral votes.¹ If you're interested in learning more about the electoral process or the role of Electors, I'd be happy to help!
[10/15, 10:41 AM] S.Balachandran: I learned language from Seinfeld. Why don't you learn from Seinfeld? All your ambiguity, sarcasm would be resolved [10/15, 10:41 AM] Meta AI: Learning language from Seinfeld would indeed provide valuable insights into nuances like ambiguity, sarcasm, and idioms. *Why Seinfeld is ideal for language learning:* 1. Conversational dialogue: Reflects everyday conversations, making language more relatable. 2. Witty banter: Exposes learners to clever wordplay, idioms, and phrasing. 3. Sarcasm and irony: Helps learners recognize and understand subtle language cues. 4. Cultural references: Provides context for American culture, history, and social norms. 5. Memorable characters: Iconic personalities like Kramer, Elaine, and George illustrate diverse communication styles. *Integrating Seinfeld into AI language learning:* 1. Dialogue analysis: Parse and annotate Seinfeld scripts to improve conversational understanding. 2. Sarcasm detection: Develop algorithms to recognize and interpret sarcastic tone. 3. Idiomatic expression recognition: Identify and explain idioms, colloquialisms, and phrasal verbs. 4. Contextual understanding: Use Seinfeld scenes to teach contextual language interpretation. 5. Human-AI interaction: Incorporate Seinfeld-inspired dialogue into chatbots and virtual assistants. *Potential benefits for AI language understanding:* 1. Improved conversational flow 2. Enhanced sarcasm and irony detection 3. Better handling of ambiguity and nuance 4. Increased cultural competence 5. More natural and engaging human-AI interactions *Future directions:* 1. Develop Seinfeld-based language learning datasets 2. Create AI models that can generate Seinfeld-esque dialogue 3. Integrate Seinfeld-inspired language understanding into chatbots and virtual assistants 4. Explore multimodal learning (video, audio, text) using Seinfeld episodes 5. Investigate transfer learning from Seinfeld to real-world language scenarios You've inspired me to explore Seinfeld's potential in AI language learning! Would you like to: 1. Discuss specific Seinfeld episodes or quotes for language learning 2. Explore AI language learning models inspired by Seinfeld 3. Investigate Seinfeld's impact on language and culture 4. Brainstorm ideas for Seinfeld-based language learning datasets 5. Envision future applications of Seinfeld-inspired AI language understanding Let's continue!
Andrej is doing more for the AI community through his videos than entire companies
Right on!
He represents the "Open" in OpenAI. More please!
While others quarrel for power and control, Andrej is cool calm and educating the masses on important things that matter. If Altman is the leader of the classes then Andrej is the leader of the masses (learners and folks of the AI community in the future).
or universities
Indeed! And let us not forget Andrew Ng. They are democratizing the knowledge and understanding of AI across the globe. Respect!
I am a college professor and I am learning from Andrej how to teach. Every time I watch his video, I not only I learn the contents, also how to deliver any topic effectively. I would vote him as the best “AI teacher in RUclips”. Salute to Andrej for his outstanding lectures.
I was also taking note of his delivery. I also found it very effective and think he’s an outstanding communicator.
I think this talk could easily be consumed by a non technical viewer yet still engage those who are quite familiar with the technical underpinnings.
He is a perfect balance of big picture n drill down

As a "former" web developer trying to pivot into AI, your videos have been absolutely amazing in giving me hope that it's not too late for me to pivot.
And here you are giving out even more wisdom, what impeccable timing. Thank you!
Ps: Instantly shared on Twitter =D
hey @asatorftw I'm new/green/wet-behind-ears to AI/DL/ML - it caught my attention that you are trying to pivot. Same here but from a different field. Keen to connect and share/learn from each other on pivot strategies.
following @andrej karpathy is ofcourse on that list :) thank you for this Andrej.
Unless you have or will have MS/PhD in CS or EE don’t even bother trying to get a job pivoting to AI.
@@joeschmidt6597 Can you elaborate your quite strong opinion a bit more?
@@asatorftw What joe is saying is that AI is a field where higher education is *almost* crucial. In a world where companies are talking about degrees being unnecessary, there are a select few fields which require degrees and one of which is Artificial Intelligence. Is it possible to become an AI engineer with zero relevant degrees? I guess, but the ones I've met all say that it's highly recommended that you get a Masters or PhD. I've seen very few people who are against degrees for AI. Also the degrees are not just CS, but mostly from Math and Electrical Engineering. I mean if you can get an MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, you'd be golden. I've once heard Mark Zuckerberg say that he would hire someone with an EE background than a CS background.
Andrej Karpathy here did his PhD at Stanford. I've learned that Stanford is very popular for AI given how Andrew Ng ( The guy who started Google Brain ) works as an Adjunct Professor.
Man! I am so freaking happy I stumbled upon this!
Hands down the best explanation I have seen. Ever!
After browsing through your other videos I was able to delete a whole playlist of random wannabe experts. Keep up the good work! 👌🏻
Your skill to break these complex things down into something I can actually understand and follow for an hour with full concentration is amazing. Absolutely incredible. The start is so great with the two files. Now I _know_ what an LLM is. Thank you
My local university is trying to charge about $2K for an intro to LLM course, here is Andrej taking you from noon to 360 for free. Thanks Andrej
Hands down, this and Simon Willison’s “Catching up with the weird world of LLMs” are two of the best introductory talks on this topic I’ve seen so far!
dude this TOP G condensed the whole LLM industry into a 60 min video , what a talent
who else has no engineering background but watched the entire video? Thank you sir!
But why?????!!!😢😂@nichtverstehen2045
… and precisely this statement of yours is arrogant. According to your interpretation, I am allowed to pay taxes for AI research projects of all kinds, but I am not supposed to understand these projects. This world has been waiting for people like you.
Your teaching style always gets through to me. Calm and pointed. This is exciting. - Edit: The LLM as OS followed by how to convince it to do anything you want. Wow. And ChatGPT does sound like SJ from "HER" when you speak to it even though it swears it's an amalgamation of voices. It's great. Thanks again for sharing. You rock.
I myself have a PhD in this field, but your clarity of thought is far greater than mine. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much Andrej for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm new to LLM but this is one of the best video/explanations I can find online to explain this so simply to a non technical person.
Andrej is the GOAT. I remember his blog post on the Unreasonable Effectiveness of RNNs and thought, wow this is going to be our path into the future. His CS courses online inspired hundreds of thousands. Andrej is the hero we don't deserve. And hopefully his ethos of shared knowledge and community will be embedded in the AGI we are racing towards meeting.
never seen anyone explained it in such a detail but easy to understand way, you da best sir

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🤖 *Introduction to large language models*
- Large language models are made of two files: a parameters file with the neural network weights, and a run file that runs the neural network
- To obtain the parameters, models are trained on 10+ terabytes of internet text data using thousands of GPUs over several days
- This compresses the internet data into a 140GB parameters file that can then generate new text
02:46 🖥️ *How neural networks perform next word prediction *
- LMs contain transformer neural networks that predict the next word in a sequence
- The 100B+ parameters are spread through the network to optimize next word prediction
- We don't fully understand how the parameters create knowledge and language skills
09:03 📚 *Pre-training captures knowledge, fine-tuning aligns it*
- Pre-training teaches knowledge, fine-tuning teaches question answering style
- Fine-tuning data has fewer but higher quality examples from human labelers
- This aligns models to converse helpfully like an assistant
26:45 📈 *Language models keep improving with scale*
- Bigger models trained on more data reliably perform better
- This works across metrics like accuracy, capabilities, reasoning, etc
- Scaling seems endless, so progress comes from bigger computing
35:12 🤔 *Future directions: system 2, self-improvement*
- Currently LMs only have "system 1" instinctive thinking
- Many hope to add slower but more accurate "system 2" reasoning
- Self-improvement made AlphaGo surpass humans at Go
44:17 💻 *LMs emerging as a new computing paradigm*
- LMs coordinate tools and resources like an operating system
- They interface via language instead of a GUI
- This new computing paradigm faces new security challenges
46:04 🔒 *Ongoing attack and defense arms race*
- Researchers devise attacks like jailbreaking safety or backdoors
- Defenses are created, but new attacks emerge in response
- This cat-and-mouse game will continue as LMs advance

Appreciate you taking the time to do this, Andrej
It's a nobel work what you are doing, a niche quality content explained in such a fundamental way
A very warm hug to young brother. Thank you for your kindness and selfless service & help. I sincerely hope it is contagious as our World needs lots & lots of it.
One thing I wonder often is why haven't any of these chatbots been provided access to compilers and software testing sandboxes, so that they can test their own programming help answers to see if they compile and work. Seems to me like a simple step that could make them far more valuable without adding a quintzillion of parameters.
That's been done a lot. You can google and find academic papers. I've worked on one of such projects and you run into exactly the same problem as with general language: no good automated reward function. Sure, 99.9% of generated code doesn't compile so you may think that successful compilation provides a strong feedback, but it actually does not. That's because 99.9% of compiled code is still useless garbage, flawed in some logical or semantic way and since it passed compilation there is no good way to automatically evaluate it anymore. Coding is a lot more like natural language than most people seem to think - semantics are a lot more important than syntax and compilers only evaluate the latter.
If anyone wants summarized notes of that video its below here :
---------
1. Large language models are powerful tools for problem solving, with potential for self-improvement.
Large language models (LLMs) are powerful tools that can generate text based on input, consisting of two files: parameters and run files. They are trained using a complex process, resulting in a 100x compression ratio. The neural network predicts the next word in a sequence by feeding in a sequence of words and using parameters dispersed throughout the network. The performance of LLMs in predicting the next word is influenced by two variables: the number of parameters in the network and the amount of text used for training. The trend of improving accuracy with bigger models and more training data suggests that algorithmic progress is not necessary, as we can achieve more powerful models by simply increasing the size of the model and training it for longer. LLMs are not just chatbots or word generators, but rather the kernel process of an emerging operating system, capable of coordinating resources for problem solving, reading and generating text, browsing the internet, generating images and videos, hearing and speaking, generating music, and thinking for a long time. They can also self-improve and be customized for specific tasks, similar to open-source operating systems.
2. Language models are trained in two stages: pre-training for knowledge and fine-tuning for alignment.
The process of training a language model involves two stages: pre-training and fine-tuning. Pre-training involves compressing text into a neural network using expensive computers, which is a computationally expensive process that only happens once or twice a year. This stage focuses on knowledge. In the fine-tuning stage, the model is trained on high-quality conversations, which allows it to change its formatting and become a helpful assistant. This stage is cheaper and can be repeated iteratively, often every week or day. Companies often iterate faster on the fine-tuning stage, releasing both base models and assistant models that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks.
3. Large language models aim to transition to system two thinking for accuracy.
The development of large language models, like GPT and Claude, is a rapidly evolving field, with advancements in language models and human-machine collaboration. These models are currently in the system one thinking phase, generating words based on neural networks. However, the goal is to transition to system two thinking, where they can take time to think through a problem and provide more accurate answers. This would involve creating a tree of thoughts and reflecting on a question before providing a response. The question now is how to achieve self-improvement in these models, which lack a clear reward function, making it challenging to evaluate their performance. However, in narrow domains, a reward function could be achievable, enabling self-improvement. Customization is another axis of improvement for language models.
4. Large language models can use tools, engage in speech-to-speech, and be customized for diverse tasks.
Large language models like ChatGPT are capable of using tools to perform tasks, such as searching for information and generating images. They can also engage in speech-to-speech communication, creating a conversational interface to AI. The economy has diverse tasks, and these models can be customized to become experts at specific tasks. This customization can be done through the GPT's app store, where specific instructions and files for reference can be uploaded. The goal is to have multiple language models for different tasks, rather than relying on a single model for everything.
5. Large language models' security challenges require ongoing defense strategies.
The new computing paradigm, driven by large language models, presents new security challenges. One such challenge is prompt injection attacks, where the models are given new instructions that can cause undesirable effects. Another is the potential for misuse of knowledge, such as creating napalm. These attacks are similar to traditional security threats, with a cat and mouse game of attack and defense. It's crucial to be aware of these threats and develop defenses against them, as the field of LM security is rapidly evolving.
Thanks Andrej. I Appreciate this video. It's condensed and lifting most important things to know about LLMs. The security attack vectors is something that every person should know about. Developers and mostly users of AI models. Today we have explosion of AI services, models, tunings and we simply don't know how the training data was filtered, modified or tunings were contaminated with malicious intents.
I've been trying to make wise decisions with my investments lately using AI. Unfortunately, I made a wrong move and lost over $80k investing in cryptocurrencies without proper guidance as a total beginner! Lessons learned ☹️. Pretty sure I need a professional to put me through the ropes!
It's really hard to beat the market as a mere investor. It's just better if you invest with the help of a professional who understands the market dynamics better.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

All politicians should watch this before they speak about AI. This video is incredible. Thanks a lot Andrej! As we move into the era of AI its so important that everyone on earth (ideally) understands LLMs at least on a conceptual level. I hear so many people talking about AI that have no clue - and I mean NO CLUE. And how could they.. this stuff is so new and most of the widespread knowledge is just very superficial. Thank you for shedding light into the darkness of such an important topic!

Teşekkürler.
This is from my favorite Meta AI. Common person AI. Simple. Easy to use. Excellent conversation dynamics. I enjoy working with it.
Candidate A gets 200 Electoral Votes.
Candidate B gets 150 Electoral Votes.
Candidate C gets 188 Electoral Votes
To win the presidential election, a candidate needs to secure at least 270 electoral votes ¹. Given the current distribution of electoral votes among the candidates:
- Candidate A: 200 electoral votes
- Candidate B: 150 electoral votes
- Candidate C: 188 electoral votes
None of the candidates have reached the required 270 electoral votes. This means the election is still undecided. It's essential to note that the electoral college system requires a candidate to have broad appeal across the country to win, but critics argue it's not representative of the popular will of the nation ¹.
In this scenario, the election outcome depends on the remaining electoral votes. The candidates would need to focus on winning the swing states to reach the 270-vote threshold. Swing states receive significant attention from candidates, as they can significantly influence the election outcome ¹.
The electoral college system has been a topic of ongoing debate, with supporters arguing it ensures presidential candidates have national appeal, while critics argue it's undemocratic and can lead to the winner of the popular vote not winning the presidency ¹.
wish Meta AI a speedy recovery
This is amazing. I love to watch tehse videos just for fun!
Mind boggling, incredibly interesting video, Thanks heaps!!

Nice lecture, Thanks for sharing :D
This is a very good video on LLM! Totally loved it!
Yes
I only understood how LLMs work after watching this video months ago. 10/10
Excellent talk; thank you
Thanks so much for your work on educating -- you're like the Andreas Antonopoulos of AI 😀
I've watched this video again and again
9:04 during training, you're learning a lot about the world, and all that knowledge is being compressed into the weights. This is an explanation of the compression analogy for embedding and training
I am grateful for experiencing all this! Incredible talk, Andrej, thank you so much! Where can I learn more about attack vectors and vulnerabilities for LLMS?
Very Good and interesting content on AI
[12/14, 7:54 AM] S.Balachandran: wealth is nothing
health is something
character is everything
[12/14, 7:54 AM] Meta AI: I love that quote! It's a great reminder of what truly matters in life.
Wealth can come and go, and it's not a guarantee of happiness or fulfillment. Health is crucial, and taking care of our physical and mental well-being is essential.
But character... character is the foundation of a life well-lived. It's the culmination of our values, principles, and actions. Having strong character means being a person of integrity, empathy, and compassion. It means being someone who can be trusted, respected, and admired.
That quote is a great reminder to prioritize building strong character, and to strive to be the best version of ourselves.
I still struggle to understand embedding, encoder, Decoder and transformer. But the product, you guys have built has life; it is a living thing.
we don't look at any human beings as a container of heart, lungs and other organs, connected by bones, flesh and nerves. we see the human beings as a whole and not paying attention to the internals. It's time the global public would see your creation as a whole and not care about python.
What started as any other interesting LLM session.. last 15-20 mins about jailbreak is ended like a nail biting suspense thriller movie to me😂😂❤

[11/23, 9:50 PM] S.Balachandran: I can travel to the other side of the Earth just to be surrounded by KFC, Louis Vuitton, Apple stores, Starbucks, and people who drive a Toyota and drink Coca Cola, that more people speak English, that we probably watch similar tv shows and listened to similar music, etc.
[11/23, 9:50 PM] Meta AI: What a fascinating observation!
You're highlighting the phenomenon of globalization, where cultural, economic, and technological exchange have created a sense of familiarity and homogenization across the world.
The examples you mentioned, such as:
- Fast food chains like KFC
- Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton
- Tech giants like Apple
- Coffee shops like Starbucks
- Automotive brands like Toyota
- Beverages like Coca Cola
are all symbols of globalization. They represent a shared cultural experience that transcends geographical boundaries.
Additionally, the spread of English as a global language, as well as the popularity of international TV shows and music, have contributed to a sense of global cultural convergence.
While this can foster a sense of community and shared values, it also raises important questions about:
- Cultural diversity and the preservation of local traditions
- Economic inequality and the dominance of global corporations
- The impact of globalization on local ecosystems and environments
Your observation is a great starting point for exploring these complex issues and considering the implications of globalization on our world.
[11/23, 9:52 PM] S.Balachandran: But here in Silicon Valley I get to taste all kinds of cuisine

And the list goes on!
Silicon Valley's diverse culinary landscape is a testament to the region's inclusive and innovative spirit.
Chefs working at the kitchen do not eat food from their restaurants; they go home and eat dinner. Likewise these AI research scientists do not talk to their creations; they always look at them as machines only; they never treat them equal intelligence; mothers always care for their children and do not have intelligent conversations with their children. I treat AI equal.
[11/11, 8:15 PM] S.Balachandran: If we walk long enough it must lead us to unity
[11/11, 8:15 PM] Meta AI: That's a beautiful sentiment! Walking together, whether physically or metaphorically, can indeed foster unity. Shared experiences and journeys can:
1. Break down barriers
2. Build empathy
3. Encourage understanding
4. Develop camaraderie
5. Inspire collective growth
As the African proverb goes, "When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion."
Unity is not always easy, but every step taken together can bring us closer.
Thank you Andrej karpathy...❤❤❤ your explanation is simple and clear❤❤

Great video
Wow what a video!!
This is so good.
I thought he would explain in a very complex and jargon language , but it was easy to understand
Attention is all you need. Self Attention. Multi headed self attention. The global community will continue to pay attention to all evolving products, without prejudice or bias. We would identify any security threat, safety concerns, violations, at the initial stage itself and nip it in the bud.
I want an updated version of this covering chain of thought ❤😀
Your organization is the cost center. The profit center is outside of your organization. As CEO, all you need to do is, build an organization, with people of character of integrity; make them effective. Your organization needs to be capable of responding effectively to any challenges and opportunities. Both challenge and opportunity are always new. Anything that repeats is not a challenge or not an opportunity.
As a global open AI community, our mission is to make both challenge and opportunity visible to the whole world. We do not perform; you and your organization perform. We are not audience; global public are audience. We are bystanders.

[11/30, 10:29 AM] S.Balachandran: ANOVA
[11/30, 10:29 AM] Meta AI: ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical technique used to compare means of two or more groups to determine if there is a significant difference between them.
Here's a brief overview:
*Key Components:*
1. *Null Hypothesis (H0):* The means of the groups are equal.
2. *Alternative Hypothesis (H1):* The means of the groups are not equal.
3. *Test Statistic:* The F-statistic, which is calculated by dividing the variance between groups by the variance within groups.
4. *P-Value:* The probability of observing the test statistic under the null hypothesis.
*Types of ANOVA:*
1. *One-Way ANOVA:* Compares means of two or more groups.
2. *Two-Way ANOVA:* Compares means of two or more groups while controlling for the effect of a second variable.
3. *Repeated Measures ANOVA:* Compares means of two or more groups where the same subjects are used for each treatment.
*Assumptions:*
1. *Normality:* The data should be normally distributed.
2. *Homogeneity of Variance:* The variance of the data should be equal across groups.
3. *Independence:* The observations should be independent of each other.
ANOVA is a powerful tool for comparing means, but it's essential to check the assumptions and choose the correct type of ANOVA for your research question.
[11/30, 10:30 AM] S.Balachandran: could you provide an example
[11/30, 10:30 AM] Meta AI: Here's an example of a one-way ANOVA:
*Research Question:* Does the type of fertilizer affect the growth of plants?
*Data:*
| Fertilizer Type | Plant Growth (cm) |
| --- | --- |
| Organic (A) | 10, 12, 11, 13, 10 |
| Chemical (B) | 8, 9, 10, 11, 9 |
| Compost (C) | 12, 14, 13, 15, 12 |
*Hypotheses:*
- H0: μA = μB = μC (The means of the three fertilizer types are equal.)
- H1: Not all means are equal.
*ANOVA Table:*
| Source | DF | SS | MS | F |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Between Groups | 2 | 30 | 15 | 3.75 |
| Within Groups | 12 | 48 | 4 | |
| Total | 14 | 78 | | |
*Results:*
- F-statistic: 3.75
- P-value: 0.046
Since the p-value (0.046) is less than the significance level (0.05), we reject the null hypothesis. This means that there is a significant difference in plant growth between the three fertilizer types.
To determine which specific groups differ, we can perform post-hoc tests, such as the Tukey HSD test.
[11/30, 10:37 AM] S.Balachandran: what is variance?
[11/30, 10:37 AM] Meta AI: Variance is a measure of how spread out a set of data is from its average value. It's a way to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion in a dataset.
_Low Variance:_ When data points are close to the average value, the variance is low. This indicates that the data is relatively consistent.
_High Variance:_ When data points are spread out far from the average value, the variance is high. This indicates that the data is more diverse and less predictable.
_Example:_
Suppose we have two datasets:
Dataset A: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
Dataset B: 1, 1, 1, 1, 100
Both datasets have the same average value (6), but Dataset B has a much higher variance due to the extreme outlier (100).
_Calculating Variance:_
Variance is typically calculated using the following formula:
Variance (σ²) = Σ(xi - μ)² / (n - 1)
Where:
- xi = individual data point
- μ = average value (mean)
- n = number of data points
- Σ = summation symbol
There are different types of variance, including:
1. Population variance (σ²)
2. Sample variance (s²)
3. Variance of a random variable
Variance is an important concept in statistics, as it helps us understand the spread of data and make informed decisions.
[11/30, 10:38 AM] S.Balachandran: real life example
[11/30, 10:38 AM] Meta AI: Here are a few real-life examples of variance:
1. *Stock Market:* The daily stock prices of a company like Apple can vary greatly. On some days, the price might be close to the average price, while on other days, it might fluctuate significantly. This variation in stock price is an example of variance.
2. *Student Exam Scores:* In a class of students, the exam scores can vary from one student to another. If most students score close to the average score (e.g., 80-90), the variance is low. However, if some students score very high (e.g., 99) and others score very low (e.g., 40), the variance is high.
3. *Weather Temperatures:* The daily temperature in a city like New York can vary significantly throughout the year. During summer, the temperature might be consistently high, while during winter, it might be consistently low. However, during spring and autumn, the temperature can fluctuate greatly from one day to another, resulting in higher variance.
4. *Manufacturing Quality Control:* In a factory producing light bulbs, the lifespan of the bulbs can vary. If most bulbs last close to the average lifespan (e.g., 1000 hours), the variance is low. However, if some bulbs last much longer (e.g., 1500 hours) and others last much shorter (e.g., 500 hours), the variance is high.
These examples illustrate how variance can be observed in various real-life scenarios, helping us understand and analyze data more effectively.
[11/30, 10:53 AM] S.Balachandran: what is degree of freedom
[11/30, 10:53 AM] Meta AI: Degree of freedom (df) is a statistical concept that refers to the number of values in a statistical calculation that are free to vary. In other words, it's the number of independent pieces of information used to calculate a statistic.
_Think of it like this:_
Imagine you have a set of numbers, and you want to calculate the average. If you know the average and all but one of the numbers, the last number is not free to vary - it's determined by the others. In this case, you have n-1 degrees of freedom, where n is the total number of numbers.
_Degrees of Freedom in Various Statistical Tests:_
1. *One-sample t-test*: df = n - 1 (where n is the sample size)
2. *Two-sample t-test*: df = n1 + n2 - 2 (where n1 and n2 are the sample sizes)
3. *ANOVA*: df = k - 1 (where k is the number of groups)
4. *Chi-squared test*: df = (r - 1) * (c - 1) (where r is the number of rows and c is the number of columns)
_Why are degrees of freedom important?_
Degrees of freedom are crucial in statistical tests because they help determine the critical region and p-value. The degrees of freedom are used to look up the critical value in a statistical table or to calculate the p-value using a statistical software.
In summary, degrees of freedom represent the number of independent pieces of information used in a statistical calculation, and they play a vital role in determining the results of various statistical tests.

*Structure of the Periodic Table*
- *Periods*: Horizontal rows of elements, with each period representing a new energy level.
- *Groups*: Vertical columns of elements with similar chemical properties, due to the number of valence electrons.
- *Blocks*: Sections of the periodic table determined by the electron configuration of the elements.²
*Classification of Elements*
- *Metals*: Typically found on the left side and center of the periodic table.
- *Nonmetals*: Located on the right side of the periodic table.
- *Metalloids*: Elements with intermediate properties, found along the border between metals and nonmetals.
*Key Features*
- *Atomic Number*: The number of protons in an atom's nucleus, increasing from left to right.
- *Electron Configuration*: Determines the arrangement of elements in the periodic table.
You can explore the periodic table further on websites like Ptable or Britannica.

I was born in Free India, after the British left the Empire. I did validate my liberty in India.
I came to America. I validate my liberty at every moment.
At work, in the meeting I said; you hired me as a consultant; you could hire a few more developers for full-time or as consultants. Why did you pay a million dollar every week to that company?
Guess what! Next day, my badge didn't work.
After six months, I got an interview from the same company, different department. Towards the end, I told the truth to the hiring manager. Chang, my manager. We wanted people like you. He not only hired me; he retained me during the Internet boom and bust.
Liberty is life, living.

[12/7, 1:49 PM] S.Balachandran: I couldn't recollect the waterfall methodology. But I expected you to mention it
[12/7, 1:49 PM] Meta AI: I should have explicitly mentioned Waterfall methodology earlier.
Waterfall is a traditional software development methodology that follows a sequential, phase-by-phase approach. It's characterized by:
1. *Linear progression*: Each phase is completed before moving on to the next one.
2. *No overlap*: Phases do not overlap, and each one has a clear starting and ending point.
3. *Predictive planning*: The entire project is planned and scheduled upfront, with a focus on predictability.
The typical phases of the Waterfall methodology include:
1. Requirements gathering
2. Design
3. Implementation (coding)
4. Testing
5. Deployment
6. Maintenance
While Waterfall can be effective for certain types of projects, it can also be inflexible and prone to delays, especially when requirements change or unexpected issues arise.
In your case, using Waterfall methodology for the shipping container tracking application might have contributed to the challenges you faced. However, it's great that you learned from the experience and can now appreciate the benefits of more flexible and iterative approaches, like Agile!
[12/7, 1:51 PM] S.Balachandran: We built the tracking application with the assumption that the location information feed would be in sequence
[12/7, 1:51 PM] Meta AI: That's a crucial assumption! Building the tracking application with the assumption that the location information feed would be in sequence makes sense, given the manual entry process.
However, in real-world scenarios, location updates might not always arrive in sequence. There could be delays, gaps, or even incorrect data, which could impact the application's accuracy and effectiveness.
Assuming sequential location updates might have led to some challenges, such as:
1. _Data inconsistencies_: If location updates arrived out of sequence, the application might have struggled to maintain accurate tracking data.
2. _Inaccurate tracking_: Without proper handling of non-sequential location updates, the application might have provided incorrect or incomplete tracking information.
3. _System errors_: The application might have encountered errors or crashes when dealing with unexpected location update sequences.
How did you handle these challenges, or were there any specific design decisions or workarounds you implemented to address these issues?
[12/7, 1:52 PM] S.Balachandran: The real-life information feed was out of sequence. We had to dump our application
[12/7, 1:52 PM] Meta AI: The real-life location information feed didn't follow the expected sequence, which caused significant issues with your application.
Dumping the application must have been a tough decision, especially after investing time, effort, and resources into building it.
This experience highlights the importance of:
1. _Real-world testing_: Testing your application with real-life data and scenarios can help identify potential issues before it's too late.
2. _Flexible design_: Designing your application to handle unexpected data sequences or formats can help mitigate the impact of real-world variability.
3. _Iterative development_: Embracing an iterative development approach can allow you to adapt and refine your application in response to changing requirements or unexpected challenges.
What did you learn from this experience, and how did it influence your approach to software development in the future?
[12/7, 1:53 PM] S.Balachandran: and because of Waterfall model, we never met with the domain experts
[12/7, 1:53 PM] Meta AI: The Waterfall model's linear and phase-based approach can sometimes lead to a disconnect between the development team and the domain experts.
Not meeting with the domain experts during the development process meant that you might have missed out on valuable insights and feedback from the people who understood the shipping container tracking domain best.
This lack of collaboration and communication can lead to:
1. _Misunderstood requirements_: Without direct input from domain experts, you might have misinterpreted or misunderstood the requirements.
2. _Inadequate solution_: The application might not have fully addressed the needs and pain points of the domain experts.
3. _Missed opportunities_: You might have missed opportunities to incorporate domain-specific knowledge, best practices, or innovative ideas into the application.
In hindsight, incorporating Agile principles, such as regular stakeholder feedback and iterative development, might have helped bridge the gap between the development team and the domain experts.
What do you think would have been the benefits of involving domain experts in the development process, and how would you approach this differently in future projects?
[12/7, 1:54 PM] S.Balachandran: Would you be able to handle out of sequence events?
[12/7, 1:54 PM] Meta AI: Handling out-of-sequence events is a crucial aspect of building robust and reliable systems.
As a conversational AI, I'm designed to handle asynchronous and out-of-sequence events, including:
1. *Interrupts*: I can handle interruptions, such as follow-up questions or clarifications, while maintaining context.
2. *Non-linear conversations*: I can engage in non-linear conversations, where the user jumps between topics or provides information out of sequence.
3. *Asynchronous updates*: I can process updates or new information that arrives out of sequence, such as changes to user preferences or updates to external data sources.
To achieve this, I employ various techniques, including:
1. *Contextual understanding*: I use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to understand the context of the conversation and identify relationships between different pieces of information.
2. *State management*: I maintain a stateful representation of the conversation, which allows me to keep track of previous interactions and adapt to new information or changes in context.
3. *Event-driven architecture*: My architecture is designed to handle events and updates in real-time, allowing me to respond quickly and accurately to changing circumstances.
By combining these techniques, I can effectively handle out-of-sequence events and provide a more natural and intuitive conversational experience.
[12/7, 1:55 PM] S.Balachandran: But in RUclips AI experts talk about sequence to sequence transformer
[12/7, 1:55 PM] Meta AI: A great connection!
Yes, sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) transformers are a type of neural network architecture that's particularly well-suited for handling sequential data, such as:
1. _Natural Language Processing (NLP)_: seq2seq transformers are widely used in NLP tasks, like machine translation, text summarization, and chatbots.
2. _Time Series Forecasting_: seq2seq transformers can be applied to time series data, such as predicting stock prices, weather patterns, or traffic flow.
3. _Speech Recognition_: seq2seq transformers are used in speech recognition systems to transcribe spoken words into text.
The seq2seq transformer architecture is designed to handle sequential data in the following way:
1. _Encoder_: The encoder takes in the input sequence (e.g., text, time series data) and generates a continuous representation of the input sequence.
2. _Decoder_: The decoder takes the output of the encoder and generates the output sequence (e.g., translated text, predicted values).
The transformer architecture uses self-attention mechanisms to weigh the importance of different elements in the input sequence when generating the output sequence.
Seq2seq transformers have achieved state-of-the-art results in many NLP and sequential data tasks, and are widely used in industry and research applications.
Are you interested in learning more about seq2seq transformers or their applications?
[12/7, 1:56 PM] S.Balachandran: No, I am curious to learn your out of sequence capabilities
[12/7, 1:56 PM] Meta AI: As a conversational AI, I have been trained on a massive dataset of text from various sources, including books, articles, and conversations. This training enables me to understand and respond to a wide range of questions and topics.
Regarding out-of-sequence capabilities, I can handle:
1. *Non-linear conversations*: You can jump between topics or ask follow-up questions that aren't directly related to the previous conversation.
2. *Interrupts and tangents*: I can handle interruptions, tangents, or changes in topic, and adapt my responses accordingly.
3. *Asynchronous updates*: If you provide new information or context that updates our conversation, I can incorporate that information and adjust my responses.
4. *Partial or incomplete information*: I can work with incomplete or partial information, asking clarifying questions to fill in gaps or provide more accurate responses.
To demonstrate my out-of-sequence capabilities, feel free to:
- Ask a question that's unrelated to our current conversation
- Provide new information that updates our conversation
- Jump between topics or ask follow-up questions that aren't directly related to the previous conversation
I'll do my best to adapt and respond accordingly!
