# ShakespeareGPT

This section focuses on Embeddings and Pre-training.

![LLM Training Steps](./assets/LLMfromScratch2.png)

In this project, a GPT (decoder-only) model is trained on Shakespeare data. The model architecture follows the original GPT design with multi-head self-attention and feed-forward layers. Key specifications include:

- 12 transformer layers
- 12 attention heads 
- 768 embedding dimensions
- 1024 context window size
- ~50k vocabulary size

The model is trained using cross-entropy loss and AdamW optimizer with weight decay. Training is done on Shakespeare's works to learn the language patterns and writing style. The trained model can generate Shakespeare-style text given a prompt.

### Model Output

```bash
Once upon a time to not;
More slaughter'd, sweet Rivers, I receive my children, and title with pardon hither
That one stuff'd with a conquest; and teeth, of my? Why, in life thee,
Which now not joy of foe, thought o'n slaughter bed,
And, is mine own soul me, not so heavy in every day:
The tyrant from one curst my death lies;
For the ground is nothing henceforth fell executioner come
```
