Hands-on masterclass to Build Custom GPT from Scratch Led by Sri Laxmi

Ever wondered what goes into building a GPT model - not just using one, but creating your own from scratch?

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to break down and build a lightweight, custom GPT that you can fine-tune for your specific needs - whether it’s summarising docs, generating content, or answering domain-specific queries.

You’ll explore:

• What makes GPT models work: tokens, embeddings, and transformers

• How to train a small-scale GPT model from scratch using open-source tools

• How to fine-tune it for specific domains or use-cases

• Best practices for dataset prep, model evaluation, and safe deployment

Plus, a live walkthrough and Q&A to help you get started building your own GPT-based applications.

Perfect for engineers, builders, and curious minds who want to move from prompt engineering to model building - with clarity, not complexity.
