Train Your Own LLM – Tutorial

This course is designed to help beginners learn how to train a language model from start to finish. Imad will guide you through the whole process, using Moroccan Darija as an example.

In this course, you will learn:

How to load text data
How to train a tokenizer from scratch using the Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) method
How to use the tokenizer to encode text data
How the Transformer architecture works in language models
How to pre-train a model
How to create a supervised fine-tuning dataset
How to fine-tune the model and build an AI assistant that you can chat with

You can find the slides, notebook, and scripts in this GitHub repository:
