Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch)

Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch) by Sebastian Raschka is a hands-on guide to understanding and building large language models from the ground up using PyTorch. The book walks through every component needed to create a GPT-like LLM: from implementing attention mechanisms and transformer blocks, to pretraining on text data and fine-tuning for specific tasks such as classification and instruction following. Rather than relying on existing LLM libraries, readers implement every piece of code themselves, developing deep intuition for how modern AI language models work. By the end of the book, readers will have a fully functional LLM capable of generating human-like text, runnable on an ordinary laptop. ISBN: 978-1633437166.
