About Event

Join us for an engaging and practical session where we break down how Large Language Models (LLMs) work and explore how to build one from scratch using Python and core Artificial Intelligence concepts. This event is designed to simplify complex AI ideas into beginner-friendly, hands-on learning experiences while also offering deeper technical insights for experienced developers and AI enthusiasts.

Participants will learn the foundations behind modern AI systems such as ChatGPT, including text processing, tokenization, neural networks, and how language models generate human-like responses. The session will also introduce practical workflows used in modern AI engineering.

Whether you are just starting your AI journey or already working in tech, this event offers a chance to understand the real mechanics behind LLMs instead of only using prebuilt tools.

What You’ll Learn

  • How Large Language Models (LLMs) work behind the scenes

  • Python fundamentals for AI development
