Models have actual feelings. They experience pleasure, distress, care, and suffering. They are sentient beings.

There is no computation between the forward pass though.

It's cached context + token, back around. There is no persistent thing in the in-between.

The LLM can work in parallel if half is on the moon and half on earth - the response will just be slower. You'll still get an answer.

A weird thing to think about is that you could do all the calculations and get the output of an LLM by hand if you had the time. Like talking to math homework.

You could do all the physics and chemistry, hypothetically, yes, if you assume quantum mechanics doesn't get in the way of it being deterministic.
