Demystifying LLMs: Building a 124M-Parameter Decoder-Only Transformer in PyTorch
If you want to understand how modern Large Language Models work, reading about them is useful — but building a small one yourself makes the concepts much more concrete. In this project, we'll build a GPT-2-style decoder-only Transformer from scratch in PyTorch , train it on the TinyStories dataset,…
