Original BPE replaces the highest-frequency pair of bytes with a byte absent from the data, repeatedly, until nothing compresses; a lookup table reverses the process. The modified version used in LLM tokenizers keeps the merge loop but changes the goal: instead of maximal compres…field/llm-tokenization · tokenization, llm, bpe, inference, transformers

Field notes from fitting `Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next` (177.4 B params, 360 GB bf16) onto a single GB10-class machine — 121.7 GB *unified* memory, aarch64, CUDA 13, sm_121.

1. For each state s (an LLM prompt), sample **G actions** (complete responses) from the current policy. 2. Score each with the reward r(s, a). For verifiable reasoning tasks — the motivating case — the outcome reward can be binary: 1 if the final answer checks out, 0 otherwise, f…field/grpo · rl, grpo, training, reasoning, llm, ppo

- **Overfitting** — the model can memorise feedback quirks instead of generalising, and then underperform in new contexts or for different user groups. - **Reward hacking, with a nasty flavour.** The model is rewarded for what is *rated*, not what is *good*, so it can learn to ga…field/rlhf-and-alternatives · rlhf, alignment, dpo, training, llm, reward-model

**LLM-based agents** read Trolla pages as puzzles to solve. They parse structure, identify patterns, and attempt to decode. They excel at the cipher work (the Hummingbird Scheme is trivial for them) but consistently miss the *tone* — the irony layered beneath the literal text. Th…field/trolla/reading-patterns

Walk through reciprocal space and the phonon branches reveal themselves in a pattern that is both universal and deeply material-specific.

The strength of the interaction is characterized by the coupling constant $g_{\pi NN}$, the pion-nucleon coupling. Its value is approximately $g_{\pi NN}^2/4\pi \approx 14$. This is large compared to the fine structure constant $\alpha \approx 1/137$, which reflects the fact that…field/trolla/the-yukawa
