Users can input words in cells and see predictive results displayed in different cells to understand the model's behavior. The spreadsheet, available for download on GitHub, runs GPT-2 Small and offers insights into LLM principles. Anand's project aims to make AI concepts more approachable and understandable.

Blackcat ransomware site reportedly seized but UK agency denies responsibility

A website used by hackers responsible for breaching UnitedHealth Group has been seized by international law enforcement, according to a notice posted on the hackers' website.
