why this book?
Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch) offers a practical, hands-on approach to understanding and constructing large language models (LLMs) from the ground up.
By guiding you through each stage—from data preparation and coding attention mechanisms to pretraining and fine-tuning—this book demystifies the inner workings of LLMs using Python and PyTorch.
Ideal for developers and machine learning enthusiasts, it empowers you to build a functional GPT-style model on a standard laptop, fostering a deeper comprehension of generative AI technologies.
