Where is it used?

Reproducing 'Attention Is All You Need', GPT-2, or LoRA from scratch is a rite of passage; `lucidrains` GitHub repos and the `minGPT`/`nanoGPT` projects are reference reproductions.

How to build it

Build a mini transformer in PyTorch following the paper's equations, train on a small dataset like `tinyshakespeare`, and compare validation loss to the paper's reported numbers.
