    This is also recommended reading if you want to learn more about building LLMs from scratch: See:

    i created something similar a while back. Inspired by micrograd for showing the connection between math/calculus and code, then building along the way to a full NumPy deep learning library that I pretrained GPT-2 124M model with it. One way to learn is to trace through the PRs merged to the repo in chronological order.

    The philosophy is the same: "What I cannot create, I do not understand." https://github.com/workofart/ml-by-hand

    My professor used this "by hand" technique when teaching quantum computation algorithms, so I have a soft spot for it.
