Show HN: Building an LLM from Scratch in TypeScript

By baraa_ 8 views 0 comments

I wanted to understand transformers at a level where nothing is magic, so I'm building a ChatGPT-style model from first principles in TypeScript. Why not Python? I've found that reimplementing concepts in a different language forces me to grasp the nuance of the implementation. Chapters cover dataloaders, embeddings, and the attention mechanism so far. Feedback welcome if anything's unclear.
