RustGPT: Complete Transformer-Based LLM Implementation in Pure Rust
By
amazonhut
Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
RustGPT is a complete Large Language Model implementation built entirely in Rust without external ML frameworks. The project demonstrates building a transformer-based language model from scratch using only ndarray for matrix operations. It includes pre-training on factual text completion, instruction tuning for conversational AI, interactive chat mode, full backpropagation with gradient clipping, and modular architecture with clean separation of concerns.
