Build a 10M-Parameter GPT-Style Language Model From Scratch

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article provides a comprehensive guide to building a small, GPT-style language model from scratch using PyTorch on a home computer. It details the process in five stages: creating a tokenizer, preparing a dataset for next-token prediction, implementing the Transformer architecture, training the model, and generating text. The guide emphasizes understanding the fundamental components of modern LLMs, even with a model size of approximately 10 million parameters, which is significantly smaller than state-of-the-art models. AI

IMPACT Provides a foundational understanding of LLM mechanics for developers and researchers.
