I recently had the chance to record a convo with @littmath about math and AI. It was great hearing a little about his workflow, some current best practices, and more. Excited to try out some new things myself, now!

- Not too long ago, my collaborators and I wrote a preprint on the problem of uploading classical data onto a quantum computer, from a more mathematical (& category theoretical) perspective. I finally got around to blogging about the ideas. New series is up!
- 10 years ago today, I launched the Math3ma blog. At the time, I wasn’t sure the site would resonate with anyone, but I’ve been amazed by all that’s happened over the past decade! To celebrate, here’s a new post on category theory and language models 🥳
- Okay sure, here's a thread on our preprint 🧵arxiv.org/abs/2501.06662 It's a blend of two existing ideas in category theory: 1) magnitude and 2) a (generalized) metric space associated to an LLM. I'll say a little about each, and how we relate them.... 1/Replying to @math3maHow about a short thread 🧵 in the meantime?
- New preprint with Juan Pablo Vigneaux! 🎉 Every LLM has a (generalized) metric space associated to it. We compute its “magnitude,” which is sort of like an Euler characteristic, and find it involves a sum Tsallis entropies. And more. A neat blend of ideas: arxiv.org/abs/2501.06662
