Day 1 - The Journey Begins

Day 1: The Journey Begins

Starting my 120-day hands-on journey through Deep Learning and LLM Systems. The goal is to build a strong foundation in neural networks while simultaneously understanding every layer of building, fine-tuning, and deploying LLM-powered systems in production.

Today’s Focus

• Environment setup (Python, PyTorch, CUDA)
• Revisiting perceptrons and activation functions
• The LLM stack overview: tokenization, embeddings, attention, decoding

Key Takeaways

Update this section with your learnings.

Resources

• Add links to papers, tutorials, or repos you referenced.
