prabeakarve / microgpt
A from-scratch, dependency-free GPT implementation in pure NumPy: byte-level tokenizer, multi-head self-attention, Adam trainer, and top-k sampler.
Why this job: says: from scratch
What it does
MicroGPT is a decoder-only Transformer language model implemented from first principles. Every gradient is derived by hand, every shape is annotated, and the whole thing trains on a laptop CPU in about a minute. It exists for one reason: to make the machinery of modern language models legible instead of magical.
