- Its next-token percentages are explicitly described as hand-written illustrations, not results from an actual model.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the course into 12 rooms, with the opening sequence presented as seven numbered exhibits. Students can sort examples, edit text to inspect approximate token splits, feed prompt cards into a simplified input-output diagram, and toggle a small network between trained and untrained states. The page marks important boundaries: tokenizer splits vary by model, and its next-token percentages are hand-written illustrations rather than live model calculations.
