nanoGPT: Minimal, Readable, and Fast PyTorch Framework for Training Medium GPTs
A pure, clean, and hackable 300-line PyTorch implementation for training, fine-tuning, and evaluating transformer language models with support for FlashAttention and torch.compile.
Engineered for educational transparency and small-to-medium parameter models; multi-node distributed trillion-token training requires complex pipeline parallel frameworks like Megatron.
Context: PyTorch 2.0, CUDA, Python, FlashAttention, and OpenWebText.
