π Ever dreamed of training your own Large Language Model from scratch? What if I told you it doesn't require a supercomputer or PhD in ML? π€―
Introducing LLM Trainer - the educational framework that makes LLM training accessible to EVERYONE! Whether you're on a CPU-only laptop or scaling to distributed GPUs, we've got you covered. π»β‘οΈπ₯οΈ
Why LLM Trainer? Because existing tools are either too simplistic (hiding the magic) or too complex (requiring expert knowledge). We bridge the gap with:
π Educational transparency - every component built from scratch with clear code π» CPU-first approach - start training immediately, no GPU needed π§ Full customization - modify anything you want π Seamless scaling - from laptop to cluster without code changes π€ HuggingFace integration - works with existing models & tokenizers
Key highlights: β Built-in tokenizers (BPE, WordPiece, HF wrappers) β Complete Transformer implementation from scratch β Optimized for CPU training β Advanced features: mixed precision, gradient checkpointing, multiple generation strategies β Comprehensive monitoring & metrics
Perfect for: - Students learning transformers - Researchers prototyping new ideas - Developers building domain-specific models
Ready to train your first LLM? It's easier than you think!
