Building a Transformer from Scratch: Part 1 — The Embedding Layer

Before the attention mechanism computes a single dot product in an autoregressive Transformer like GPT, the model faces a fundamental problem: neural networks do not understand text, and feeding them raw token IDs introduces false mathematical assumptions. If the tokenizer maps "cat" to index 200 a…
