Concept	Detail
What is a token?	A subword piece — not a word, not a char, something in between learned statistically
Pipeline	`Raw text → Pre-tokenize (regex split) → BPE merges → Token ID lookup`
Leading space rule	The pre-tokenizer glues the leading space onto the word: `" token" → [4037]` vs `"token" → [5963]` — different IDs!
~4 chars ≈ 1 token	Average for English. Breaks hard for CJK (~3 bytes per char ≈ up to 3 tokens)
Example	`"lowest"` → `['low', 'est']` → `[11, 13]` (merges replayed in learned rank order)
	LayerNorm (old)	RMSNorm (modern)
Steps	Center (subtract mean) + Scale	Scale only
Learned params	γ and β	γ only
Speed	Baseline	7–64% faster
Used by	GPT-2, BERT	Llama, Mistral, Gemma
Component	What it is
Q (Query)	"What am I looking for?" — current token's question, via `q = x · Wq`
K (Key)	"What do I contain?" — each token's label, via `k = x · Wk`
V (Value)	"What information do I carry?" — the actual content to blend, via `v = x · Wv`
Q · Kᵀ	Dot-product similarity — higher score = stronger match
÷ √d_k	Scale factor — prevents large dot products from pushing softmax into saturation
+ mask	The causal mask — sets future positions to −∞ so `exp(−∞) = 0`
softmax	Turns scores into probabilities that sum to 1 (row-stochastic)
× V	Weighted average of value vectors — the output is a convex blend
	Vanilla MLP (GPT-2)	SwiGLU MLP (Llama/modern)
Formula	`down(GELU(up(x)))`	`down(SiLU(gate(x)) ⊙ up(x))`
Weight matrices	2	3 (gate, up, down)
Activation	GELU	SiLU (= Swish = `x · sigmoid(x)`)
Expansion ratio	4×	~3.5× (adjusted for the 3rd matrix)
Knob	What it does
Temperature	Divides logits before softmax. `T < 1` → sharper (more confident). `T > 1` → flatter (more random). `T → 0` → greedy (always argmax).
Top-k	Keep only the k highest-scoring tokens. Fixed size — can't adapt.
Top-p (nucleus)	Keep the smallest set whose cumulative probability ≥ p. Adaptive — expands when uncertain, shrinks when confident. Preferred over top-k.
Next Unit	What it builds on
1.2 Attention, intuitively	Deep-dive into the Q·K → scale → softmax → ×V pipeline
1.3 Tokens & the context window	Token budgets, costs, the shared window
1.4 Prefill vs decode ⭐	Why generation is slow — the compute/memory split
1.5 The KV cache ⭐	The "notebook" that makes decode O(1) instead of O(L²)

Vector	Role	Analogy
Q (Query)	The question — "what should I attend to?"	A search query you type
K (Key)	The label — "here's how to find me"	The title of a search result
V (Value)	The content — "here's my actual information"	The body of the search result

1.4 Prefill vs decode ⭐	Why reading the prompt (parallel attention) is fast but generating (sequential) is slow

3.13 Paged attention ⭐	Managing KV cache memory without pre-allocating the maximum
