From GPT-2 to Kimi K3: A Seven-Year Journey of LLM Architecture Evolution
udmrzn · x · 2026-07-30
Recommends an in-depth technical article systematically mapping the architectural evolution of large language models from GPT-2 (2019) to Kimi K3 (2026). The piece highlights a staggering 22,580x scale-up over seven years and questions whether this growth is merely about scale or driven by other underlying factors.
