Excel is really omnipotent. Ishan Anand, a software developer who loves it, actually put the OpenAIGPT-2 large model into Excel. The size reaches 1.2GB. The key is that it can still run normally!The ChatGPT we are familiar with actually supports a presentation form of the GPT series of large models, which has evolved into multiple major versions such as GPT-1, GPT-2, GPT-3, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4.
The initial version of GPT-2 was released in February 2019, and the full version was released in November of that year, with 1.5 billion parameters and a total training data volume of 40GB.
Anand uses a simplified version of GPT-2, with only 124 million parameters, less than one-tenth of the full version, but it is already very impressive that these can be put into Excel.
The amount of input this special form can accept is only 10 tokens, which is nothing compared to GTP-4Turbo 128000 Tokens, but it still deserves a thumbs up.
Of course, it also has the advantage that it runs completely locally and does not require a cloud connection.
Anand did this firstly to demonstrate the power of Excel, and secondly to facilitate the experience of early adopters who are not familiar with AI and large model gameplay.
If you also want to experience it, you can download this special form from GitHub, but be careful not to run it on a Mac, as it will easily crash or become unresponsive.
