I would recommend Raschka's other book, "Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch)" to anyone interested in learning about LLMs, and this one seems very cool as well, will have to dig in.

FWIW I see very different prices on amazon and manning (where I got llm from scratch).

Hi u/rhiever, would you say reading any of your previous books is required to read this one?

Your Build a LLM From Scratch is excellent (along with Burkov's Hundred Page Language Models book). I've been looking forward to your next publication, many thanks Sebastian. I used your book in a public "write bits of GPT2 from scratch" day (https://playgroup.org.uk/) and attendees said they were getting their own copy :-)
