Modern Large Language Models: Architecture, Fine-Tuning, and Production Deployment
Modern Large Language Models: Architecture, Fine-Tuning, and Production Deployment Note: This guide is based on the original “Attention Is All You Need” paper (Vaswani et al., 2017), Hugging Face Transformers documentation, and production patterns from LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta. All code examples use documented APIs and follow industry best practices for LLM deployment. Large Language Models (LLMs) have evolved from academic curiosities to production systems powering ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and enterprise search. Built on the transformer architecture, modern LLMs contain billions of parameters and demonstrate emergent capabilities including reasoning, code generation, and multi-turn conversation. ...
