Nerdy Stuff
Under the hood explorations. See how AI actually works with interactive visualizations.
Emergence
Simple rules, complex behavior. An interactive essay on cellular automata, synchrony, segregation, highways, and critical cascades.
Game of Life
The interactive cellular automata world that used to run as the site background, now as a standalone playground.
Embedding Explorer
Visualize how texts cluster in vector space using UMAP. See semantic similarity in action.
Sentence Surgeon
Click any word to remove it. A small BERT predicts what should fill the gap, ranked with probabilities. Click a prediction to graft it in.
Rusenizer
Compare a Turkish-focused tokenizer with cl100k_base, inspect byte boundaries, and reproduce the bundled example comparison.
Fourier Sketch
Draw a path, then watch rotating Fourier epicycles reconstruct it one harmonic at a time.
Optimizer Racetrack
Release SGD, Momentum, RMSProp, and Adam on the same loss landscape and watch their paths, wobbles, and failures diverge.
Steering LLMs
Steer a real transformer’s story continuation with evaluated theme directions, or build custom contrast pairs and inspect the effect.
RuseN-Gram
Build a language model from 12 public-domain books and poetry collections. Compare voices, inspect N-gram counts, and generate from real literary corpora.
