Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch)

I’ve just finished the first two chapters of Build a Large Language Model from Scratch by Sebastian R. So far, it’s an excellent read. The book provides a solid understanding and clear insights into how large language models (LLMs) work, including their underlying architecture.What I particularly appreciate is how approachable it is for readers who don’t have a background in AI. If you’re curious about LLMs and want to get a deeper grasp of how they function—without getting overwhelmed—this is a great starting point. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone interested in AI, regardless of their technical background

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!

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

Received in good condition

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
