Abstract

In this exciting and interactive tech talk, you will uncover the secrets of artificial intelligence. Together with Michal, you'll explore the fundamental components of transformers, which are integral parts of Large Language Models (LLMs) like Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPT). Through detailed explanations and Kotlin code examples, Michal will demonstrate how you can build your own mini GPT model in Kotlin, from scratch. This talk will provide you with a practical understanding of one of the most influential modern technologies and demystify the complexities of transformers and GPT models through a clear, step-by-step approach.
