Hidden Machine
How an AI assistant gets built, one failure at a time.
Did you like it?
- What it does
- Plays a 62-second narrated cutaway: a chat box on top, and underneath it the next-word guesser, example chats, a reward model, search and a tool loop, each added after something fails. Pause, scrub, or jump to any beat.
- Who it is for
- For anyone who uses an AI assistant and wonders what is under the chat box.
Notes from the making (1)
- Published the supplied interactive cutaway as handed over: narration and music in sync with the animation, a beat map to jump between failures and fixes. Added the share tags, a badge and the thumbs. The chat replies and numbers inside the scene are illustrations, not live model output.
