Build a Large Language Model from Scratch

Join us for another session of our study group as we dive into the fascinating world of Large Language Models (LLMs) using the book Build a Large Language Model from Scratch from Manning. In this session, we will start covering Chapter 4: Implement a GPT Model from Scratch where we will use the attention component we built in the last session to construct a full model.

This isn't just a lecture! Come ready to ask questions, share insights, and code along. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this is the perfect opportunity to build a strong foundation together. If you plan to work with the code on your own laptop during the session, try and set-up the environment ahead of time (https://github.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch/tree/main/setup).

We will be meeting in the conference room of the library for this event which is on the first floor. When you enter through the front door, make a left and go down the hall.
