vtabbott shares screenshots of zardini.mit.edu: interactive diagrams that toggle between the forward pass of scaled dot-product attention (with matmuls, softmax, quantization format annotations) and its full backpropagation graph R[...], across attention variants and modern model architectures — a intuitive teaching tool for how transformers train.
