A from-scratch PyTorch implementation of the Transformer architecture from the paper 'Attention Is All You Need'. It accompanies a YouTube video that walks through the full step-by-step implementation, making it a hands-on educational resource rather than a production library.

Use cases

• learn how the transformer architecture works by coding it from scratch
• implement attention is all you need in pytorch
• understand self-attention and multi-head attention with code
• follow a step-by-step transformer tutorial with a companion video
• study a readable reference implementation of the original transformer paper
• build a seq2seq transformer for machine translation as a learning exercise

When to choose

• You want to deeply understand the Transformer by implementing it yourself in PyTorch
• You learn best by following along with a video tutorial paired with matching code
• You need a small, readable reference of the original paper's architecture without framework abstractions

When to avoid

• You need a production-ready, optimized transformer library for training or serving models (use PyTorch or Hugging Face Transformers)
• You need pretrained weights, fine-tuning utilities, or an extensive API
• You need a licensed dependency you can safely embed in your own project - this repo has no license file
