Llm Course
Llm Course is an open-source educational repository on GitHub, created by Maxime Labonne, designed to help learners get into Large Language Models (LLMs). It provides structured roadmaps that outline a clear learning path from foundational concepts to advanced topics, along with practical Colab notebooks that allow hands-on experimentation. The course covers essential LLM concepts such as tokenization, embeddings, attention mechanisms, and the transformer architecture. It then progresses to more advanced subjects including fine-tuning, quantization, and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), enabling learners to build and deploy their own models. The repository is free and open for anyone to use, fork, and contribute to. It is well-suited for self-paced study, offering a blend of theoretical explanations and interactive code examples that leverage popular Python libraries like PyTorch and Hugging Face Transformers.
