Built and trained a GPT-style LLM from scratch on an NVIDIA 4060, then turned it into a step-by-step guide

I built and trained a small GPT-style model from scratch on a single NVIDIA 4060 PC, then turned the process into a step-by-step learning website.
- The author rebuilt a GPT-style LLM component by component to understand how it works beneath the abstractions, rather than to compete with ChatGPT or open-source frontier models.
- The training setup was intentionally small: a personal PC, an NVIDIA 4060, and a limited dataset.
- The main pain point was fragmented learning material spread across papers, repos, videos, articles, and docs, with theory and implementation often disconnected.
- The planned site aims to unify code, mathematical intuition, visual explanations, and a practical build/train path in one place.
- The project is not public yet; the author is looking for 10 beta testers to give feedback on clarity and usefulness.
