Presentation

Ruben Galvao (Artlist) - A Deep Seek into LLM Architecture

Large language models can feel like magic, but under the hood they are a handful of simple ideas stacked very high. This talk shows how they are built from the ground up, starting with a single neuron and working towards the architecture of a modern LLM, one visual step at a time. Along the way we'll see how a network learns, and how we build ever larger models. The journey culminates in some of the latest advancements from models like DeepSeek. You'll leave with a clear mental picture of what is actually going on inside a language model, and why each new idea exists.
