The project's original dimension tracking feature provides the following core values for understanding the large model computational process:
- Visualize data flow: Label the input-output matrix dimensions at each key computational step, e.g., at the attention mechanism
# 输入[17x4096]->输出[17x128]
It helps to create an intuitive perception of tensor shape transformations. - Debugging Aids: By
print(q_per_token.shape)
etc. to validate the code, ensure that dimension changes are as expected, and quickly locate shape mismatch errors - concept mapping: Link abstract model architectures (e.g., 4096-dimensional hidden layers) to concrete code implementations, e.g., labeling at RMS normalization
normalized = rms_norm(embeddings, eps=1e-6)
Also describes the anti-de-zeroing effect of the eps parameter.
Suggestions for use:
1. Mapping the dimensional transformation process while reading the code
2. Observation of changes in model behavior after modification of the middle tier dimensions
3. Comparison of dimensional correlations at different stages of computation (e.g., Q/K/V generation, attention score computation)
