**\*\*\*OVERVIEW** 📖

Join us for an in-depth look at the concepts in THE seminal ["Attention Is All You Need"](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762) paper that paved the way for the generative AI boom. In this methodical walk-through, we're exploring each step in the transformer model at inference, from input sequence to end token🔄

We'll start with a brief overview of the significance of the Transformer Architecture📐, such as its ability to handle long-range dependencies more efficiently than RNNs and its impact on the development of models like GPT. This will be followed by an outline of its components before delving into the distinct roles of encoders and decoders🛡️, for example, how and why the encoder maps the entire input sequence into a context-aware continuous representation.

Next, we will go through each layer, exploring the math and rationale behind each🔢, using concrete examples. We'll also dissect each formula, including those implied but not fully shared in the paper, such as the detailed workings of the Softmax function in the attention mechanism or the layer normalization process.

Do you, on an intuitive level, understand why sine and cosine functions are used for positional encoding? How Q, K, and V vectors work together to produce an attention score? Or why attention is masked in the decoder? Let us explore these questions and more by methodically working our way through the paper, ensuring you grasp the core concepts and their implications.

**IMPORTANT** 📌
No need to bring anything; all necessary materials will be provided. Feel free to review basic matrix operations beforehand, but we'll do a quick recap of the math to ensure we're all on the same page.

## Details

**\*\*\*OVERVIEW**

Join us for an engaging session on harnessing the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to create dynamic and intelligent chatbots. This session is tailored for beginner-to-intermediate level developers eager to move beyond basic prompting and begin exploring the capabilities of OpenAI's API. Come for technical knowledge and inspiration on creating chatbots that answer intricate questions about topics you're deeply knowledgeable in, be it for work, hobbies, or any passion.
Utilizing the **[LangChain](https://python.langchain.com/docs/get_started/introduction)** library alongside **Python** in **Visual Studio Code**, we'll seamlessly integrate **OpenAI**'s cutting-edge language model into our applications. We'll tie everything together using **Streamlit**, enabling us to deploy and test our chatbot in real-time.

**\*\*\*OUTLINE**

🔍**Overview (architecture & components)**
Start with a clear understanding. We'll demystify technical terms and lay out the architecture and components of chatbot development, ensuring everyone can dive in confidently.

🔌**Setup and configuration:** Prepare to get your hands dirty with real coding setup tasks. This is a step-by-step guide through the initial setup, from downloading necessary tools to configuring your development environment.

🤖**Building Your Chatbot:** We'll start with a basic chatbot that interacts with OpenAI, then layer on advanced features like memory handling and custom system messages to enrich user interactions.
*Note: Short breaks will be scheduled between major sections*

**\*\*\*IMPORTANT**

If you wish to follow along with your laptop, it is highly recommended that you sign up for an [OpenAI account](https://chat.openai.com/auth/login) to access the API and receive free credits for hands-on experimentation or ensure that you have a minimum of purchased credits to experiment.
*If this sounds overwhelming, don't worry*, we'll guide you through each step during the event.
