Large Language Models in Five Formulas
Sasha Rush's tutorial takes the opposite approach to hype: pick the five places where large language models can actually be measured, bounded, or forecast, and be honest that the rest is hard. Perplexity for generation, attention for memory, matrix multiplication for efficiency, Chinchilla for scaling, and RASP for reasoning. Each formula gets its history, its intuition, and the limits of what it explains. The result is a compact quantitative frame you can hang everything else on.
