Follow up: GPT-2's vocabulary as a hyperbolic tree — 32,070 tokens in a Poincaré ball you can fly through [P]

Explore the fascinating architecture of GPT-2's vocabulary with a unique visualization: a hyperbolic tree containing 32,070 tokens rendered within a Poincaré ball. This interactive experience, running directly on your phone, allows you to navigate the relationships between tokens through intuitive drag, pinch, and tap interactions. The structure reveals a natural "forest" of interconnected elements, best represented in hyperbolic space—a design that elegantly accommodates the vocabulary's complex similarity structure.

Tried testing qwen 35b moe model on s26 ultra , without compromising on precision [R] ,[D]

Early testing reveals promising results for running a private Qwen 35B MoE LLM on an S26 Ultra, demonstrating a potential for approximately 90 tokens/second input processing and 8 tokens/second output generation after optimization. This achievement, realized through self-directed AI/ML exploration and leveraging available compute resources, highlights the accessibility of advanced model deployment. The author, without disclosing implementation details, is actively seeking collaborators to further test and refine this mobile runtime.
