Interactive 3D and 2D Visualization of GPT-2
I’ve been building an interactive 3D + 2D visualization of GPT-2. It displays real activations and attention scores extracted from GPT-2 Small (124M) during a forward pass. The goal is to make it easier to learn how LLMs work by showing what is happening inside the model. The 3D part is built with Three.js, and the 2D part is built with plain HTML/CSS/JS. Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

In plain words
This tool provides an interactive 3D and 2D visualization of GPT-2 Small, displaying real activations and attention scores during model inference. It is designed for students and researchers who want to understand how large language models work by observing their internal operations. The visualization uses Three.js for 3D rendering and standard web technologies for 2D components, making the model's behavior directly observable and interpretable.

Fully client-side GPT2 prediction visualizer2023 · perplexity.vercel.app · ▲153Hi 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…

All content is based on Andrej Karpathy's "Intro to Large Language Models" lecture (youtube.com/watch?v=7xTGNNLPyMI). I downloaded the transcript and used Claude Code to generate the entire interactive site from it — single HTML file. I find it useful to revisit this content time to time.
