A project that implements the forward pass of GPT-2 entirely in Excel using standard spreadsheet functions, letting non-developers explore how transformers work. It also includes browser-based AI-powered spreadsheet notebooks that blend spreadsheets with Python-notebook-style workflows.

Use cases

• learn how GPT-2 and transformers work under the hood
• teach deep learning concepts without writing code
• run AI-powered spreadsheet notebooks in the browser
• summarize CSV order data with AI in a spreadsheet
• explore LLM internals with minimal abstractions
• fetch data from an API inside a spreadsheet notebook

When to choose

• you want an interactive, visual way to understand transformer internals
• you are teaching ML concepts to non-developers
• you want AI-assisted spreadsheet workflows without installing anything

When to avoid

• you need a production LLM inference or training tool
• you need programmatic access to GPT-2 weights or code
• you need a full-featured notebook environment like Jupyter
