+ Implement a single GPT-2 transformer decoder block. Given an input tensor + \(x\) of shape (seq_len, d_model) and pre-trained weight matrices, + compute the output of one transformer block using pre-norm architecture with + multi-head self-attention and a feed-forward network with GELU activation. +

+ +

The computation follows this sequence:

+
    +
  1. \(x_{\text{norm}} = \text{LayerNorm}(x, \gamma_1, \beta_1)\)
  2. +
  3. \(QKV = x_{\text{norm}} \cdot W_{qkv} + b_{qkv}\), split into \(Q, K, V\) each of shape (seq_len, d_model)
  4. +
  5. Reshape \(Q, K, V\) into \(h\) heads of dimension \(d_k = d_{\text{model}} / h\)
  6. +
  7. Per-head attention: \(\text{head}_i = \text{softmax}\!\left(\frac{Q_i K_i^T}{\sqrt{d_k}}\right) V_i\)
  8. +
  9. Concatenate heads and project: \(\text{attn} = \text{Concat}(\text{head}_1, \ldots, \text{head}_h) \cdot W_{\text{proj}} + b_{\text{proj}}\)

Implementation Requirements

+ + +

Example:

+

+With seq_len = 4, input \(x\) has shape (4, 768). +The block receives all weight matrices (LayerNorm parameters, QKV projection, +attention output projection, and FFN weights/biases) and produces an output +of the same shape (4, 768). Residual connections ensure the output +preserves the input signal while adding the attention and FFN contributions. +

    Example:

    -With seq_len = 4, input \(x\) has shape (4, 768). -The block receives all weight matrices (LayerNorm parameters, QKV projection, -attention output projection, and FFN weights/biases) and produces an output -of the same shape (4, 768). Residual connections ensure the output -preserves the input signal while adding the attention and FFN contributions. +With seq_len = 4, input \(x\) has shape (4, 768) and the +weights buffer contains 7,087,872 floats. The output has the same shape +(4, 768). Residual connections ensure the output preserves the input +signal while adding the attention and FFN contributions.

Index into the buffer using the offsets below From d3086ebc71b1dd82c3bf4d3e3a1747f02b4ea341 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "claude[bot]" <41898282+claude[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 09:25:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 10/11] Add missing Examples section to GPT-2 block challenge.html The checklist requires

      sections for Implementation Requirements, Example(s), and Constraints. The Example section was missing. Since D=768 is a fixed architecture dimension, exact tensor values cannot be shown, so the example describes input/output shapes for seq_len=4 (matching generate_example_test()).

    • Use the GELU tanh approximation: \(\text{GELU}(x) = 0.5\,x\!\left(1 + \tanh\!\left(\sqrt{\tfrac{2}{\pi}}\left(x + 0.044715\,x^3\right)\right)\right)\)

This removes the newly-added duplicate, leaving only the Example section before Constraints.
