Intro

A lightweight implementation of a Decoder-only language model trained on the TinyStories dataset. The project features custom Triton kernels for optimized performance on NVIDIA GPUs.

Features

• Transformer-based language model architecture
• Custom Triton kernels for key operations:
  • Softmax
  • RMS Normalization
  • Cross Entropy Loss
  • Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE)
• Custom tokenizer training using SentencePiece

Prerequisites

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

# Download TinyStories dataset and train tokenizer
python train_vocab.py    
  
# Preprocess data
python preprocess.py

# Train Model
python train.py

# Generate text samples using trained model
python sample.py --prompt "your prompt"
