Transformer Explainer -Interactive Learning of Text-Generative Models
https://github.com/poloclub/transformer-explainer
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.

Henry Daubrez – How to generate VR/ 360 videos directly with Google VEO
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/upskydown_vr-googleveo-veo3-activity-7334269406396461059-d8Da
If you prompt for a 360ยฐ video in VEO (like literally write “360ยฐ” ) it can generate a Monoscopic 360 video, then the next step is to inject the right metadata in your file so you can play it as an actual 360 video.
Once it’s saved with the right Metadata, it will be recognized as an actual 360/VR video, meaning you can just play it in VLC and drag your mouse to look around. -

https://replicate.com/blog/flux-kontext
https://replicate.com/black-forest-labs/flux-kontext-pro
There are three models, two are available now, and a third open-weight version is coming soon:
- FLUX.1 Kontext [pro]: State-of-the-art performance for image editing. High-quality outputs, great prompt following, and consistent results.
- FLUX.1 Kontext [max]: A premium model that brings maximum performance, improved prompt adherence, and high-quality typography generation without compromise on speed.
- Coming soon: FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]: An open-weight, guidance-distilled version of Kontext.
Weโre so excited with what Kontext can do, weโve created aย collection of modelsย on Replicate to give you ideas:
- Multi-image kontext: Combine two images into one.
- Portrait series: Generate a series of portraits from a single image
- Change haircut: Change a personโs hair style and color
- Iconic locations: Put yourself in front of famous landmarks
- Professional headshot: Generate a professional headshot from any image
