Building a GPT from Scratch: Fine-tuning Challenges and Implementation Details

This article details the final stages of building a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) model from scratch, focusing on the instruction fine-tuning process. It highlights how, at this stage, the underlying architecture becomes less critical than the precise implementation details, such as a missing space character, which can cause the model to fail. The author shares insights from their experience building an LLM, emphasizing the practical challenges encountered. AI

IMPACT Provides insights into the practical challenges and implementation details of fine-tuning large language models.
