TokenTown visualizes LLM architecture as interactive 3D city

TokenTown is exactly the kind of pedagogical innovation we need to demystify AI; turning the "black box" of transformers into a physical, explorable space makes complex math surprisingly intuitive.

• –The spatial metaphor of an isometric city (like "KV-cache warehouse" or "attention plaza") maps abstract ML concepts to tangible real-world equivalents, significantly lowering the barrier to entry.
• –Allowing users to watch a single token make the round trip in real time provides an intuitive understanding of the sequential nature of LLM generation.
• –This type of visual, interactive tool is far more effective for explaining attention and residual streams than static diagrams or dense academic papers.
