What is a parameter, and what do those billion-parameter headlines actually count? This episode builds the smallest possible model out loud to show what a learned number is, then answers the questions that follow: where parameters live inside a model, how much they can hold, whether more of them makes a model better, and whether they ever change. Voice narration is AI-generated. ?
