AI Folks Labs
See it work.
Interactive explainers that take one hard idea in AI and make it something you can touch.

How a language model actually works
Type a sentence and watch it become tokens, embeddings, attention and a prediction. The four stages, playable.
Gradient descent you can feel
Drag a ball down a loss surface. Change the learning rate and watch it overshoot, stall, or find the valley.
The tokenizer playground
Why “strawberry” has three r’s but the model cannot count them. Paste anything and see the pieces.
Why models hallucinate
Break a retrieval pipeline on purpose. Watch a confident, well-formed, entirely invented citation appear.
Diffusion: noise to image
Scrub the denoising steps back and forth and see structure emerge out of static.
The map of meaning
Fly through an embedding space. Find what sits near “bank”, and why that is a problem.
After the labs
Playing with it is an hour.
Building it is six months.
Every lab is a five-minute version of something you construct properly in the programme — tokenisers, attention, retrieval, evaluation, deployment.
