<p>LLM seems to have become synonymous with Generative Transformer architecture.<p>While this model may share much with GPT-style models on the encoder side, it clearly has a different decoder architecture.  So is a high-parameter count language model an LLM even when it doesn't have a GPT-style decoder?   The definitions are in flux.</p>

<p>Has LLM become so synonymous with Generative Transformer that other high-parameter count models that interpret language need a different name?<p>For all we know this might be a non-language-generative transformer e.g. a transformer where the decoder produces confidence scores rather than language.  Please provide more likely architectures if you know them, I'm genuinely curious.</p>

<p>This is likely still an LLM (in the purest definition of a language model with relatively many parameters) since the inputs are natural language, just not a <i>generative</i> LLM as the output is something other than more language.</p>

<p>The author misses the difference between cashflow and profit entirely.<p>Selling a car today gives Tesla the full profits of that hardware production today. Running that car as a robotaxi means that Tesla eats the costs of the hardware today in exchange for a larger total profit collected over several years.<p>So operating a fleet gives the company access to more long-term profits at the cost of decreasing the bank balance today (negative cash flow), where selling the cars lets the company fill the bank account right now (positive cash flow) at the cost of limiting long-term profitability.<p>The decision to prioritize immediate cash flow vs long term profits depends on the financial position and overall strategy of the company.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if the website allows for diffs against arbitrary tree states, but if it does than the diff space is completely unbounded, and the ram demand is theoretically infinite.</p>

<p>The amount of memory required to cache all possible diffs (defined as an ordered pair of commits) would likely be in the exobytes. At current ram prices that's easily a trillion dollars of ram to run that cache lol.  Git focuses on making diff calculations efficient largely because the space of possible diffs is very expensive to enumerate.<p>The following from Claude:
"""
A diff between two randomly chosen commits usually spans years of history, so it's not a few KB — the tree itself is ~1.5 GB of text, and a multi-year span rewrites a large slice of it. Call it 100–200 MB per pair on average:
8.5×10¹¹ pairs × ~2×10⁸ bytes ≈ 10²⁰ bytes, or ~150 exabytes
"""</p>

<p>I'm curious if this stems from the focus on token efficiency.  My thinking is that in order to use fewer tokens the model must converge to a likely path faster, meaning it must be more confident in making assumptions quickly and not second-guessing them.</p>
