πŸš€ Ever dreamed of training your own Large Language Model from scratch? What if I told you it doesn't require a supercomputer or PhD in ML? 🀯

Introducing LLM Trainer - the educational framework that makes LLM training accessible to EVERYONE! Whether you're on a CPU-only laptop or scaling to distributed GPUs, we've got you covered. πŸ’»βž‘οΈπŸ–₯️

Why LLM Trainer? Because existing tools are either too simplistic (hiding the magic) or too complex (requiring expert knowledge). We bridge the gap with:

πŸŽ“ Educational transparency - every component built from scratch with clear code
πŸ’» CPU-first approach - start training immediately, no GPU needed
πŸ”§ Full customization - modify anything you want
πŸ“ˆ Seamless scaling - from laptop to cluster without code changes
🀝 HuggingFace integration - works with existing models & tokenizers

Key highlights:
βœ… Built-in tokenizers (BPE, WordPiece, HF wrappers)
βœ… Complete Transformer implementation from scratch
βœ… Optimized for CPU training
βœ… Advanced features: mixed precision, gradient checkpointing, multiple generation strategies
βœ… Comprehensive monitoring & metrics

Perfect for:
- Students learning transformers
- Researchers prototyping new ideas
- Developers building domain-specific models

Ready to train your first LLM? It's easier than you think!
