Every particle type has its own field, but the OP article is counting a single particle type multiple times based on properties like spin and polarization. At one point the article reaches the number 118. That corresponds directly to 37 q

The parallels to the Industrial Revolution are so close that we even have a new generation of Luddites. (Not saying they don’t have some valid points; so did the original group.) The reason it’s like the Industrial Revolution is simply that

You can do things like that - one example is averaging weights between related models - but not with Anthropic's models, because outsiders don't have access to the weights.
