Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch) is a practical and eminently-satisfying hands-on journey into the foundations of generative AI. Without relying on any existing LLM libraries, you’ll code a base model, evolve it into a text classifier, and ultimately create a chatbot that can follow your conversational instructions. And you’ll really understand it because you built it yourself!

For deeper understanding and better learning we provide a built-in testing system into liveBook, the online version of this book. Separately, you can download a free PDF Test Yourself guide on this book from here.
