This book is a comprehensive guide aiming to demystify the world of transformers -- the architecture that powers Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT and BERT. From PyTorch basics and mathematical foundations to implementing a Transformer from scratch, you'll gain a deep understanding of the inner workings of these models.
That's just the beginning. Get ready to dive into the realm of pre-training your own Transformer from scratch, unlocking the power of transfer learning to fine-tune LLMs for your specific use cases, explore advanced techniques like PEFT (Prompting for Efficient Fine-Tuning) and LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) for fine-tuning.
Step into the deployment of LLMs, delivering these state-of-the-art language models into the real-world, whether integrating them into cloud platforms or optimizing them for edge devices, this section ensures you're equipped with the know-how to bring your AI solutions to life.
Whether you're a seasoned AI practitioner, a data scientist, or a curious developer eager to advance your knowledge on the powerful LLMs, this book is your ultimate guide to mastering these cutting-edge models. By translating convoluted concepts into understandable explanations and offering a practical hands-on approach, this treasure trove of knowledge is invaluable to both aspiring beginners and seasoned professionals.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Goodbooks Company, Springdale, Arkansas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
