A new interactive visualization tool called Transformer Explainer has been developed to help non-experts understand the complex Transformer architecture used in large language models. The tool offers a visual overview of data flow, on-demand explanations of mathematical details, and allows users to experiment with a live GPT-2 instance in their browser. A study with 90 participants indicated that the tool significantly improved user understanding and engagement, and it has already attracted over 490,000 users. AI
