Build Your First LLM from Scratch
Learn core LLM concepts by building a tiny calculator model that converts English math phrases to answers using Python and PyTorch. This tutorial is divided into 8 parts.
1
Foundations
Build the mental model of how LLMs work before writing any code
2
The Project
Understand why we're building a calculator and what the final result looks like
3
Tokenization & Embeddings
Convert text to meaningful number representations that the model can process
4
Attention Mechanism
Coming SoonUnderstand and implement the core transformer innovation
5
Building the Complete Model
Coming SoonAssemble all components into a working transformer
6
Training
Coming SoonTrain the model on our calculator dataset
7
Generation, Evaluation & Deployment
Coming SoonUse the model and share it
8
Scaling Up (Optional)
Coming SoonShow how to expand to bigger tasks
