A concise, visual retelling of [Jay Kreps’ classic essay](https://www.linkedin.com/blog/engineering/distributed-system...) All diagrams are from Kreps’ own Stanford EE380 lecture (slides).

2. [Slides](https://web.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/141112-slides...)

I read the original blog, but i thought it would be better if it was more concise and more visual. Apparently, the author had already given an= lecture (that too with slides). So, put the LLMs to good use.

I loved the original blog so much! Fun read it was!

I learnt about KL Divergence recently and it was pretty cool to know that cross-entropy loss originated from KL Divergence. But could someone give me the cases where it is preferred to use Mean-squared Error loss vs Cross-entropy loss? Is there any merits or demerits of using either?
