In this post we build a complete diffusion model from scratch — training a UNet on a custom dataset, implementing the full DDPM pipeline, and understanding the math that makes iterative denoising work. We cover noise schedules, the reparameterization trick, FID evaluation, and three diffusion objectives (ε, x₀, v). By the end you’ll have generated novel images from pure Gauss...

Highlights: We implement a complete DDPM from scratch on 1D sine waves — same math as image diffusion, but every intermediate state is plottable. We track 100 parallel trajectories, measure when the model “commits” to a specific sample, then design a controlled experiment that reveals manifold compactness as the key factor determining whether diffusion succeeds or fails. So l...

Highlights: In this post, we take a deep dive into the architecture that changed everything — the Transformer — and trace its evolution from NLP into computer vision. We start with the original encoder-decoder model, walk through self-attention and multi-head attention step by step, and then show how Vision Transformers (ViT) apply the exact same mechanism to image patches in...

  Highlights: In this post, you’ll learn how CLIP connects images and text in a shared embedding space — enabling zero-shot image classification, semantic search, and visual perception scoring without any task-specific training. We start from the ground up with Vision Transformers, walk through CLIP’s contrastive learning architecture, run hands-on embedding experiments,...

Highlights: In this guide, you’ll learn how to pretrain a large language model from scratch — implementing training loops, evaluation metrics, and advanced text generation strategies. We’ll build a complete GPT-style training pipeline, watch it evolve from random gibberish to coherent text, and explore techniques like temperature scaling and top-k sampling. By the end, you’ll...
