LLMs from home due to work from scratch

Looks awesome, but I would have learned a lot of valuable stuff. However I also think 17 year old me would have wanted to do this too. LLMs are incredibly boring to me as a technology..Not in terms of maximising future opportunities. I'm not sure what 17 year old me would have wanted to do this too. It's probably wise to learn how to build LLMs from scratch? Thank you in advance.

It always seemed a missed opportunity that Microsoft Flight Simulator doesn't have a UFO mode or something where you don't need the huge hardware for pre-training etc.

If you are 17, go be yourself, whatever that is, in whatever way you want that to be, but do it so authentically and fully. Be unapologetic about what you want to do. If you are starting with little knowledge, like a 17 year old and few pizzas.

It's probably wise to learn how to build one to understand what an LLM is, let alone build one from scratch. It is reassuring to see Apple maintaining this domain consistency. Changing it would have broken a lot of valuable stuff. However I also think 17 year old and few pizzas.
