  Refine the README's H1 and opening paragraph to emphasize educational value

  原因：

  当前

  # Transformer from scratch
  
  This is a **Transformer** based **Large Language Model (LLM)** training demo with only _~240 lines of code_.
  
  Inspired by nanoGPT, I wrote this demo to show how to train a LLM from scratch using PyTorch. The code is very simple and easy to understand. It's a good start point for beginners to learn how to train a LLM.

  # Transformer from scratch: A Minimal, Educational LLM Implementation
  
  This repository provides a **Transformer** based **Large Language Model (LLM)** training demo, implemented **from scratch** in only _~240 lines of PyTorch code_. Unlike large libraries, this project is specifically designed as a simple, easy-to-understand starting point for beginners to learn the core mechanics of LLM training without abstraction.
