LLMs-from-scratch-cn is a Chinese translation of educational material that teaches large language model development from foundational principles.
The project addresses the need for LLM learning resources accessible to Chinese-speaking developers. It translates detailed markdown notes and Jupyter notebook code from an English-language original, maintaining accuracy while adapting phrasing and structure to suit Chinese reading conventions. The Jupyter code includes extensive Chinese-language comments to help learners understand and implement concepts practically. The translation is accompanied by supplementary materials designed to expand knowledge beyond the core content.
This resource suits Chinese-language learners seeking to understand how large language models work from first principles, rather than treating them as isolated from traditional machine learning. It works best for those who prefer learning through detailed explanations and annotated code examples. The project explicitly positions itself as a translation and learning aid rather than an extension or modification of the original material.
The project is in active development with contributions welcomed from the community. The maintainers acknowledge potential imperfections in the translation and invite feedback for improvement. The effort reflects a commitment to making LLM education more accessible within the Chinese-speaking developer community.
