  # Train LLM From Scratch
  
  This repository provides a complete, step-by-step guide and codebase to implement and train a Large Language Model (LLM) entirely from scratch using PyTorch, based on the 'Attention is All You Need' paper. It enables you to build your own **billion** or **million** parameter LLM, focusing on foundational understanding rather than relying on high-level frameworks.

  ## Why Train LLM From Scratch?
  Unlike projects that leverage high-level libraries like Hugging Face Transformers or Lit-GPT, this repository focuses on building an LLM from the ground up. It provides a deep dive into the core components of the Transformer architecture, tokenization, and the training loop, making it ideal for those who want to understand the underlying mechanics rather than just using pre-built solutions.
