A Model of a Mind
This article explains a simple model of how minds might work. I’m motivated by the success of AI-based language models to look at the future of digital minds. I’ll present a conceptual data-flow architecture that can account for several key features of minds: the ability to initiate actions (agency), learning…

What my dad taught me about AI coding in the 90s
It was a summer holiday, sometime in the late 1990s. I was a young kid, around 8 or so. My dad had taught me the rules of chess before and we played from time to time. But this time was different: As we were about to start he stood up and walked away from the board, sitting down in a chair across the room and facing…

Everything I've learned so far about running local LLMs
Over the past month I’ve been exploring the rapidly evolving world of Large Language Models (LLM). It’s now accessible enough to run a LLM on a Raspberry Pi smarter than the original ChatGPT (November 2022). A modest desktop or laptop supports even smarter AI. It’s also private, offline, unlimited, and…

LLM Neuroanatomy II: Modern LLM Hacking and Hints of a Universal Language?
In Part 1, I described how duplicating a block of seven middle layers in Qwen2-72B — no weight changes, no training — produced the #1 model on the HuggingFace Open LLM Leaderboard. The method, which I called RYS (Repeat Your Self), was discovered using nothing but hard math probes and EQ-Bench on a pair of RTX 4090s.

Why We Think
Special thanks to John Schulman for a lot of super valuable feedback and direct edits on this post. Test time compute (Graves et al. 2016, Ling, et al. 2017, Cobbe et al. 2021) and Chain-of-thought (CoT) (Wei et al. 2022, Nye et al. 2021), have led to significant improvements in model performance, while raising many…
