Eight chapters tracing language model architecture from GPT-2 to Kimi K3, told as one question: what does the model keep, and what does it discard to make room? With full derivations, cost models and original diagrams.

A technical walkthrough: why transformers parallelize over sequence positions, how sparse and dense features enter attention in recommendation models, and how Meta's HSTU / Generative Recommenders architecture handles retrieval and ranking. With worked numeric examples.
HEADLINE VIEW: Apple dethroned Nvidia as the world's most valuable company today ($4.95T vs. $4.77T) — not because Apple's AI story got better, but because Wall Street just started pricing capex…
Private credit deep dive. KKR's own real estate lender reserved 6.5% of its loan book, cut its dividend 60%, and put itself up for sale — on the same day Wall Street decided private credit was fine…
Chapter 5: what a GPU actually does with 4-bit weights — W4A16, nibble unpacking, the memory hierarchy, SIMD lookup tables, and the KV cache knock-on effect.
Chapter 4: Unsloth Dynamic quantization — the DeepSeek-R1 720GB to 131GB case study, why KL divergence beats perplexity, real Gemma 3 charts, and a bit-allocation sandbox.
Chapter 3: the importance matrix derivation, calibration-data pitfalls, and why sub-3-bit quantization needs vector codebooks — with an animated 2D demo.
Chapter 2: NF4 quantile quantization vs uniform INT4, and a byte-by-byte anatomy of a GGUF Q4_K superblock, plus the full format table.
Chapter 1: float bit layouts, the affine quantization equation, the transfer-function staircase, and why block-wise scaling is the fix for outliers.
Interactive 7-part series on LLM quantization: the memory wall, affine grids, NF4, GGUF k-quants, importance matrices, codebooks, Unsloth Dynamic 2.0, and GPU kernels.
An interactive explainer of the Newton–Schulz iteration Muon uses to orthogonalize gradient matrices — polar decomposition, why the iteration only touches singular values, cobweb plots, and why Muon's five magic coefficients are what they are.
Chapter 7: a decision table for picking a quant, rules of thumb, the exact llama.cpp commands to build and measure your own, and a summary of the whole series.
Chapter 6: GPTQ Hessian error correction, AWQ salient channels, quantization-aware training, BitNet native ternary, and how QLoRA fine-tunes on a frozen 4-bit base.
An interactive walkthrough of the attention stack in GLM-5 — MLA latent compression and the absorption trick, DeepSeek Sparse Attention's cheap indexer, how that indexer is distilled from dense attention, prefill vs decode economics, IndexShare, and the ablations Zhipu published before choosing sparse over linear.
An interactive walkthrough of KDA — the hybrid linear attention behind Kimi K3. Fixed-size memory, the delta rule as online gradient descent, a live measurement of how lossy the state actually is, channel-wise forgetting, the DPLR constraint that makes the kernel fast, and Attention Residuals.

After Wednesday's close (7/22), Tesla reported Q2 2026. Headline "beat," a print that fell apart the moment you read past the top line. As of midday Thursday the stock is down ~13% to $324.64,…
