What this session would cover

Proposed outline — the mentor finalises the agenda once this topic is scheduled.

  1. 1Why llm internals matters — the common problem: LLM quirks like token limits and random outputs confuse developers building on them.
  2. 2Core concepts in plain language: Tokens, tokenization, embeddings, positional representations, self-attention, encoder and decoder architectures
  3. 3Going further: context windows, pretraining objectives, next-token prediction, mixture-of-experts models, decoding, sampling
  4. 4Framework walkthrough: Transformer Architecture, Prompt → Retrieve → Generate → Verify, Evaluation Sets
  5. 5Practical workflow, built live: A notebook exploring tokenization, attention weights and temperature/top-p effects.
  6. 6How to measure it: Groundedness, Answer accuracy on an eval set, Latency, Cost per request
  7. 7An illustrative case (a fictional example, not a client result), then live Q&A on your own situation

Who it's for

  • • Students and freshers entering tech
  • • Working developers and engineers
  • • Tech leads and architects

You'd leave with

  • A notebook exploring tokenization, attention weights and temperature/top-p effects.
  • A working understanding of Transformer Architecture and Prompt → Retrieve → Generate → Verify
  • A short list of measures to track: Groundedness, Answer accuracy on an eval set, Latency
