Transformer Explainer is an interactive visualization tool designed to help anyone learn how Transformer-based models like GPT work. It runs a live GPT-2 model right in your browser, allowing you to experiment with your own text and observe in real time how internal components and operations of the Transformer work together to predict the next tokens.

the 8 most important model types and what they’re actually built to do: ⬇️

1. 𝗟𝗟𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Your ChatGPT-style model.
Handles text, predicts the next token, and powers 90% of GenAI hype.
🛠 Use case: content, code, convos.

2. 𝗟𝗖𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Lightweight, diffusion-style models.
Fast, quantized, and efficient — perfect for real-time or edge deployment.
🛠 Use case: image generation, optimized inference.

3. 𝗟𝗔𝗠 – 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Where LLM meets planning.
Adds memory, task breakdown, and intent recognition.
🛠 Use case: AI agents, tool use, step-by-step execution.

4. 𝗠𝗼𝗘 – 𝗠𝗶𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀
→ One model, many minds.
Routes input to the right “expert” model slice — dynamic, scalable, efficient.
🛠 Use case: high-performance model serving at low compute cost.

5. 𝗩𝗟𝗠 – 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Multimodal beast.
Combines image + text understanding via shared embeddings.
🛠 Use case: Gemini, GPT-4o, search, robotics, assistive tech.

6. 𝗦𝗟𝗠 – 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Tiny but mighty.
Designed for edge use, fast inference, low latency, efficient memory.
🛠 Use case: on-device AI, chatbots, privacy-first GenAI.

7. 𝗠𝗟𝗠 – 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ The OG foundation model.
Predicts masked tokens using bidirectional context.
🛠 Use case: search, classification, embeddings, pretraining.

8. 𝗦𝗔𝗠 – 𝗦𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹
→ Vision model for pixel-level understanding.
Highlights, segments, and understands *everything* in an image.
🛠 Use case: medical imaging, AR, robotics, visual agents.
