Train your own LLM from scratch!
This is a dev post classified by Jev as AI dev tools (a tool drop), kept by the Dev Radar because it carries real work, not commentary.
Train your own LLM from scratch! A step-by-step repo that walks you through building and training a transformer model from scratch using PyTorch. From downloading training data all the way to generating text. The architecture is built from the ground up following the original "Attention is All You Need" paper. MLP, single head attention, multi-head attention, transformer blocks, and the full transformer model - all coded and explained with detailed diagrams at each step. Training data comes from The Pile - a diverse 825GB open-source dataset covering books, articles, code, websites, and mor
