"How to Build and Fine‐Tune a Small Language Model: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners, Researchers, and Non-Programmers" Available at https://t.co/msIjZw2arK Build your own AI—without a PhD, expensive hardware, or industry-level resources. Whether you’re a beginner, a student, a scientist, or a domain expert, this book shows you how to create, train, fine-tune, and deploy Small Language Models (SLMs) that truly understand your field. Most AI books explain what models are. This one teaches you to build them. You’ll go from zero to a working GPT-style model, then learn how to fine-tune, align, evaluate, and deploy it for real applications. All chapters include ready-to-run Google Colab notebooks.
