24 alternatives to Microgpt is a GPT you can visualize in the browser
very much inspired by karpathy's microgpt of the same name. it's (by default) a 4000 param GPT/LLM/NN that learns to generate names. this is sorta an educational tool in that you can visualize the activations as they pass through the network, and click on things to get an explanation of them.
Microgpt is a browser-based educational tool that visualizes a small 4000-parameter neural network trained to generate names. Users can watch activations flow through the network in real time and click on components to… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Hi HN! I've found this visualization tool immensely helpful over the years for getting an intuition for how an LLM "sees" some piece of text, and with a bit of elbow grease decided to move all compute to client side so I could make it publicly available. I've found it particularly useful for - Understanding exactly how repetition and patterns affect a small LM's ability to predict correctly - Understanding different tokenization patterns and how it affects model output - Getting a general sense of how "hard" different prediction tasks are for GPT-style models Known problems (that I probably…

The release of microgpt by Andrej Karpathy is a foundational moment for AI transparency. In exactly 243 lines of pure, dependency-free Python, Karpathy has implemented the complete GPT algorithm from scratch. As a PhD scholar investigating AI and Blockchain, I see this as the ultimate tool for moving beyond the "black box" narrative of Large Language Models (LLMs). The Architecture of Simplicity Unlike modern frameworks that hide complexity behind optimized CUDA kernels, microgpt exposes the raw mathematical machinery. The code implements: The Autograd Engine: A custom Value class that…

Hi HN, I've been working on an experimental tool that helps you use GPT to work on your codebase. I'd love to improve the tool if there's interest. New ideas welcome! I think this could also be useful for experimenting with other types of recursive prompts. It’s a little bit Swiss Army knife and a little bit skynet: https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr From the README: Promptr is a CLI tool for operating on your codebase using GPT. Promptr dynamically includes one or more files into your GPT prompts, and it can optionally parse and apply the changes that GPT suggests to…

Hi HN! I made a tool that autogenerates simple, high-level explanations of concepts and organizes them in a somewhat university course-like structure so that it's easier to see how things are structured. Currently it has about 20,000 concepts on a range of topics but that's just what I generated so far, it should work with more obscure topics in the future. I love learning about random topics where I don't have a good background in like history or linguistics, but it's hard to figure out what topics there (you don't know what you don't know) are in certain fields and what they are even…
