A developer details their experience building a Transformer model from scratch using PyTorch, aiming for a deeper understanding beyond API-level usage. The process involved first exploring Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to grasp sequential processing limitations like vanishing gradients and parallelization bottlenecks. The core of the Transformer, self-attention, was then implemented, highlighting the importance of scaled dot-product attention and the O(n²) complexity that limits context windows. AI
