Zero to LLM: Build Your Own LLM

​Ever wondered what's actually happening inside ChatGPT or Claude? In this hands-on 4-hour workshop, you'll stop wondering and start building.

​We'll go from absolute zero to training your own mini language model from scratch. No hand-waving, no black boxes. Just code, intuition, and a deep dive into the mechanics that power modern AI.

​What you'll learn:

• ​How transformers actually work — attention, embeddings, and all that

• ​Tokenization: turning raw text into something a model can learn from

• ​Building a GPT-style architecture in Python from scratch

• ​Training your model on real data and watching it learn

• ​How to scale your thinking from tiny models to the real deal

​Who's this for?

​You don't need an ML PhD — but you should be comfortable with Python and curious about how AI works under the hood. If you've used LLMs but always wanted to peek inside, this is your workshop.

​What to bring:

• ​Laptop with Python 3.10+ installed

• ​A Google account (we'll use Colab for GPU access)

• ​Curiosity and a healthy appetite for math

​By the end of the session, you'll have a working language model you trained yourself — and the mental model to go even further.

​Seats are limited. Come ready to build.
