Build the pieces of a Transformer in C#

9 challenges on how large language models work inside: tokenizers and byte pair encoding, positional encoding, self-attention, causal and multi-head attention, layer normalization and sampling the next token. Solve them in order in C#; each one runs in your browser with instant tests and an AI review.
