# Local Small LLM Python

This is a small local language model project written in Python from scratch.

## What it includes

- Character tokenizer
- Tiny transformer decoder
- Local training loop
- Checkpoint save and load
- Gradio interface for training and generation

## Important

- No external pretrained LLM is used
- The model is tiny and educational
- It runs on CPU and is meant for local experimentation
- The first generate or train call will initialize and train the tiny model locally

## Run locally

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```
