Offering Chinese Translation for 'Build a Large Language Model From Scratch

[Intelligence-Manifesto]

Dear Dr. Sebastian Raschka,

Greetings! I am a researcher passionate about machine learning and artificial intelligence. As a native Chinese speaker, I would like to extend my deepest respect and gratitude for the open-source repository of "Build a Large Language Model From Scratch" that you have made available on GitHub. This book is not only comprehensive and beautifully illustrated but also organized in such a manner that beginners like myself find it both intuitive and easy to understand. Your work showcases profound expertise while being incredibly accessible to newcomers, from which I have greatly benefited.

Above all, I am inspired by your passion for AI and open-source software. Motivated by this passion, I have embarked on a project to translate your book and its associated code into Chinese. This effort aims to assist Chinese-speaking learners, like me, in better understanding the process of building large language models. To date, I have completed the translation of the first four chapters. During this process, I have made a concerted effort to clarify any contextual differences and added some foundational knowledge to help beginners grasp the material more effectively.

I am eager to contribute my translated version to the project and wonder if it would be possible to do so by including a link to my forked version in the official GitHub repository's readme or through another method you deem appropriate. My forked version is located at Intelligence-Manifesto/LLMs-from-scratch, which contains the translation work completed so far.

With this letter, I wish to express not only my admiration and thanks for this invaluable book but also seek your guidance and assistance on how I might integrate my work into this admirable open-source project in a suitable manner. How might I contribute my translation so that more Chinese readers can benefit?

Thank you again for your outstanding work and contributions to the open-source community. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,
Intelligence-Manifesto

Hi there, and thanks for your enthusiasm about this book!

The code is all open source, so no worries about forking it. It's actually nice that you are trying to make it accessible to more readers. Thanks!

I also included a note about your project here in the README.

If you could clarify that this is a fork of this project and link the original GitHub repository at the top of the forked README, that would be very appreciated (just to avoid any potential confusion with readers and the publisher).

Note that I also updated the figures in to link them but not directly include them in the notebooks but link them from my website where I'll keep updating them.
