Minor request: can we have 'neural network' or something in the title? This is related to the machine learning 'transformer' architecture, rather than the bundle of coils that couples two circuits electromagnetically.

"no training" gave it away for me.

  I misinterpreted that as "I have no training; I am a beginner" rather than "I am not going to train this thing" :)

    Though he was a novis and had no training in the field.

    That's how I interpreted as well. "Electrical transformer without any formal training in electric engineering" is basically how the title read to me. Followed by a lot of confusion when the article was not that. Good on him, it's just... an odd way to phrase it :)

      Heh, I went a step further and thought "ooh, a novice EE project, but titling it like that everyone's going to be confused about it involving machine learning" until I realized I was the one that got it backwards...

    I didn't even consider that it COULD be about LLMs until I saw the comment above.

And not about "alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery, primarily vehicles" [1] either. :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_(film)

  Ha, I didn't think of that. But if it was, that might be more impressive than either coiling wire or writing Python code :)

  "Transformers: More than meets the eye!" That was my second thought. My first thought was coils of wire wrapping iron cores done by someone who does not know what they're doing.

I also thought the physical transformer

Funny how even though I studied EE, it didn't cross my mind it could be an electrical transformer.

It's always mildly annoying when different technologies have the same name or acronym
