The LLM is a calculator. Think about it.
- fragmede 2y agoThe LLM is an LLM. It runs on computer hardware which has an ALU, but that doesn't make the LLM a calculator. The LLM can, however, call out to a calculator to do addition when it deems necessary.
- soloist11 2y agoThe LLM is not doing anything other than arithmetic calculations. Every operation an LLM is doing can be done with a calculator.

- fragmede 2y agoTypically we don't refer to matrix multiplication as arithmetic calculations, but you do you.
- soloist11 2y agoI'm pretty sure it's all arithmetic for an LLM but you do you too.
- Jensson 2y ago> Typically we don't refer to matrix multiplication as arithmetic calculations You don't? Didn't you do them in school? Everyone calls that arithmetic's, you are just adding up and multiplying a bunch of numbers.
- fragmede 2y agodo you really multiply numbers but call that arithmetic? I must sincerely ask, where are you?
- GaggiX 2y agoIt's not.
