Master and Build Large Language Models
The best way to understand LLMs is to build one yourself. This course gives you that power.
In this engaging liveVideo, veteran AI researcher Sebastian Raschka leads you step by step through the inner workings of a large language model. You'll see and hear Sebastian talk you through each step of the LLM project you build in his bestselling book Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch).
In this liveVideo, you'll explore how to:
- Plan and code all the parts of an LLM
- Prepare a dataset suitable for LLM training
- Fine-tune LLMs for text classification and with your own data
- Use human feedback to ensure your LLM follows instructions
- Load pretrained weights into an LLM
This liveVideo is the perfect orientation to LLMs for software engineers ready to lead AI initiatives or data scientists and ML researchers who want build or adapt their own LLMs.
This unique course also includes six essential prerequisite videos created by AI expert Abhinav Kimothi, author of A Simple Guide to Retrieval Augmented Generation. Abhinav delivers an insightful review of everything from the Python features you need to work on LLMs to advanced PyTorch operations, ensuring you can succeed regardless of your starting point.

Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch), Video Edition
Bestselling author Sebastian Raschka guides you step by step through creating your own LLM. Each stage is explained with clear text, diagrams, and examples. You’ll go from the initial design and creation, to pretraining on a general corpus, and on to fine-tuning for specific tasks.
Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch)
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.
