Reposted by dot BlackThe Spaceshipper 🚀 @thespaceshipper.com · 2hSerenity was released 21 years ago today. When a canceled series got the chance to have not only an epilogue, but one on the big screen... 🤯 Cool space chase. That was four months after the release of Revenge of the Sith and the Battle of Coruscant. We were really spoiled. 610114

Then the whole process is repeated to produce another token, and so on. Biological systems, on the other hand, employ continuous processes that operate in real time using a tiny fraction of the energy. #LLMs #GenAI 64920
