What you'll learn
How a transformer actually makes a prediction
See the exact mechanics behind every LLM output, so "black box" AI becomes a system you can reason about.
Build the attention mechanism that powers every LLM
Write self-attention yourself. Once you've built it, you stop guessing what the model's doing and start knowing.
Apply LLM internals to real business decisions
Walk out knowing what to tweak, why, and when, instead of hoping the output looks right.
Why this topic matters
Every company's throwing money at LLMs right now, but most teams still can't tell you why the model did what it did. Build one from scratch and that changes. You stop treating it like a black box and start knowing exactly what to tweak, why, and when so you're actually solving business problems instead of crossing your fingers and hoping the output looks right
