Decision brief
train-llm-from-scratch is a repository that provides a comprehensive guide and scripts for training large language models from scratch using PyTorch, covering the entire process from data preparation to model generation,
Good fit when
- When you want to train a large language model from scratch using only PyTorch, without relying on external libraries like transformers or trl,
- If you are a student or researcher looking for a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to build and train a transformer model from the ground up,
Avoid when
- If you are looking for a quick and easy way to fine-tune a pre-existing large language model, as this repository focuses on training from scratch,
- When you require a solution that supports distributed training across multiple GPUs or TPUs, as this repository is designed for single GPU training,
