PyTorch has rapidly become one of the leading deep learning frameworks, offering powerful tools for building, training, and deploying machine learning models. Specifically, PyTorch’s flexibility and efficiency have made it the go-to choice for Large Language Models (LLMs), such as BERT, GPT, and T5. These models, based on transformer architecture, have revolutionized the way we handle text-based tasks, from sentiment analysis to question answering and beyond. This book focuses on leveraging PyTorch to train, fine-tune, and deploy LLMs, enabling real-world applications across industries.
This is a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to harness the power of LLMs using the PyTorch framework. From foundational principles to advanced deployment techniques, this book covers all aspects of working with LLMs. You will learn how to train models from scratch, fine-tune pre-trained models for specific tasks, and deploy these models for real-world use cases like customer service, healthcare, finance, and more. The book provides practical insights, hands-on examples, and deep dives into both the theory and practice of large-scale language modeling.
