New comment by sonabinu in "I were 17, I'd learn how to build LLMs from scratch"

sonabinu — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 13:09:18 +0000

I think this is the best structured class out there that teaches how to scale LLMs . Hope the 17 year old knows linear algebra. Building an intuition for the shape of the matrices is important. A lot of understanding the 'building from scratch' means understanding choices like why RoPE instead of the original frequency based positional encoding. Start with Karpathy and then go to CS 336
