In this segment, the implementation of the GPT model architecture is detailed, focusing on its various components, such as embedding layers, masked multi-head attention modules, and transformer blocks. The architecture also employs layer normalization and feed-forward networks with GELU activations. Shortcuts enhance training efficiency, addressing challenges like vanishing gradients. The output, consisting of logits, maps input tokens to predictions, with an emphasis on generating new tokens iteratively. Future chapters will delve into pre-training, optimizing the model, and generating coherent text, linking these components to practical applications in large language models.
