"Due to limited supervised training data, large language models (LLMs) are typically pre-trained via a self-supervised "predict the next word" objective on a vast amount of unstructured text data.

"Hello everyone. I’m sharing the pretraining pipeline I’ve been using for my own experiments. I found that most public code falls into two extremes:
1. Tiny demos that don’t scale to real datasets.
2. Industry-scale libraries that are too bloated to modify easily.
This repo sits in the middle. It’s..."
