LLMs predict the next word in a sequence based on probabilities, using vast amounts of text data for training. The introduction of transformers in 2017 allowed for parallel processing of text, enhancing computation efficiency. Pre-training is supplemented by reinforcement learning with human feedback to refine model predictions. The sheer scale of data and computation involved is formidable, taking advantage of specialized hardware like GPUs. 176 3 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/a-bizarre-probability-fact-34965sw7w "A bizarre probability fact") Video 3Blue1Brown · 2y A bizarre probability fact This post discusses a surprising probability fact: sampling two random numbers between 0 and 1 and taking their maximum results in the same biased random number distribution as taking the square root of one of those numbers. By visualizing these values on a coordinate system, it becomes clear that both processes result in an identical cumulative distribution function. 22 1 [See all 3Blue1Brown archives](/sources/3blue1brown/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/3blue1brown/best-of/2024/11#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/3blue1brown/best-of/2024/11","name":"Best 3Blue1Brown Posts — November 2024","description":"The most upvoted 3Blue1Brown posts from November 2024, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/3blue1brown/best-of/2024/11#items","numberOfItems":2,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/large-language-models-explained-briefly-zu07jkfgg","name":"Large Language Models explained briefly"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-bizarre-probability-fact-34965sw7w","name":"A bizarre probability fact"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"3Blue1Brown","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/3blue1brown"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/3blue1brown/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"November 2024"}]}]} ```
