Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch) Paperback – 1 Nov. 2024

Truly great and exceptionally well thought out resource for learning how LLMs work. Don’t even think twice and read it, study the great examples, look up bonus materials and check out accompanying YT videos from S. Raschka. I wish all tech books were at this quality level!

Received in good condition

Excellent Book - really does show how to make a LLM from scratch as the title suggests.

Explains transformer architecture clearly and its implementation, which is a backbone of LLMs. The book also delves into practical aspects of building and training large language models, providing hands-on examples and code snippets. It's an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand the intricacies of LLMs from the ground up. However, if you need to further develop LLMs in a real-world setting, be aware that this book is aimed at building the foundations. You will need to read additional books that cover the implementation of systems required to deploy LLMs
