🎁Free Book: LLM Foundations🎁

👉A fully free book just released on arXiv to outline the basic concepts of #LLMs and related techniques with a focus on the foundational aspects.

✅Chapter 1: basics of pre-training
✅Chapter 2: gen-models & LLMs
✅Chapter 3: prompting methods
✅Chapter 4: alignment methods

👉If you have any background in ML, along with a certain understanding of stuff like Transformers, this book will be "smooth". However, even without this prior knowledge, it is still perfectly fine because the contents of each chapter are self-contained.
