Oh, I actually didn't know about Bertviz before. That looks interesting as well!

Thanks for trying it out! You can hover / click / tap on any word to focus it. I actually intended for this to be main way to use the visualization, I just added the auto-playback later on so it's more eye-catching on page load.

Hmm, I might try to add some controls to limit which layers get summed up. It might be able to reveal more patterns.

Right now only simple correlations are visible.

It's really simple, basically just the magnitude of the value vector, weighted by QK dot product, summed across all attention heads and layers.

When I started, I expected I'd have to experiment a lot to find something comprehensible. But this simple computation can already show some patterns.

I don't disagree with that. I did add an entire caveat paragraph there.

To me, it's more of a neat visualization, not something that can be used to interpret LLM behavior. Even with a lot of simplification, it can show some interesting patterns.

Show HN: Timezone Converter in Map Form

https://ishamf.dev/p/daylight-and-timezone-map/

I often need to convert times between time zones, so I built this tool to convert between them quickly and efficiently.1. Add the cities you want to convert between (this is saved in the browser).2. Drag on the map until the time on the source city is the time you want.3. Look at the time at the other city.It's even more helpful to use on a phone since it doesn't require typing to convert...

Nowadays, you can get a free VM from some providers (GCP) and there are lots of sites where you can deploy a static website for free (github pages). I'd argue deploying something for free is easier than ever.
