LLM

Complete implementations of large language models including all sub-components. Also includes training/fine-tuning implementations (i.e LoRA, QLoRA).

What's Implemented

GPT (models/gpt/):

• Multi-head self-attention with causal masking
• Learned positional embeddings
• LayerNorm, feedforward blocks
• Training loop with loss estimation

LLaMA (models/llama/):

• Multi-head attention with Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE)
• RMSNorm (instead of LayerNorm)
• SwiGLU feedforward network
• Top-p sampling for generation
• SentencePiece tokenizer

Usage

GPT:

cd models/gpt
python train.py

LLaMA:

cd models/llama
python generate.py
