BeviaLLM Playbook — Building a Language Model From Scratch

A comprehensive guide to understanding and building a GPT-like language model from the ground up using Python and NumPy. No frameworks, no abstractions — every component implemented manually: embeddings, self-attention, layer normalization, backpropagation, and AdamW optimization.

Covers the full Transformer architecture, the mathematics behind attention, a complete implementation deep dive, and hands-on experiments you can run on a laptop.
