Train LLM From Scratch is an educational PyTorch project that shows how to build and train a transformer-based language model from the ground up. It is based on the architecture described in Attention Is All You Need and is designed to make the training pipeline understandable rather than hidden behind a large framework. The repository walks through the process from downloading data to generating text with a trained model. It supports training smaller or larger models, including million- and billion-parameter configurations depending on available hardware. A major goal is accessibility, since the author frames it as possible to train models using a single GPU. It is most useful for learners, researchers, and developers who want practical exposure to LLM internals.

Features
