This project is a technical resource and implementation guide for building transformer-based language model architectures and training pipelines from scratch. It focuses on the design of models capable of natural language processing, including the integration of pretrained weights and the creation of foundational model frameworks.
The project specifically emphasizes logical reasoning and mathematical problem solving. It provides a framework for optimizing these capabilities through reinforcement learning and the use of automated verifiers to evaluate and reward correct reasoning paths.
The resource also covers the development of instruction-tuning pipelines to adapt general models into assistants that follow human commands. Additionally, it includes methods for text classification, utilizing specialized output layers and fine-tuning to predict discrete labels.
The implementation is provided as a series of Jupyter Notebooks.
