Transformer and LLM Basics with PyTorch
In this lab, you'll explore the foundations of language modeling using PyTorch by building a tiny LSTM-based language model. You'll learn how to tokenize text, create embeddings, train a simple LSTM to predict the next word, and generate text from your model. By the end, you'll have hands-on experience with the key building blocks behind larger systems like GPT — starting from lightweight examples that make it easy to see how each part of a language model works.

Real skill practice before real-world application
Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
Learn by doing
Engage hands-on with the tools and technologies you’re learning. You pick the skill, we provide the credentials and environment.
Follow your guide
All labs have detailed instructions and objectives, guiding you through the learning process and ensuring you understand every step.
Turn time into mastery
On average, you retain 75% more of your learning if you take time to practice. Hands-on labs set you up for success to make those skills stick.
