The LLM Course on Hugging Face is a Rapper, but the Code Will Make You Go Mad! ![]()
I’ve completed The LLM Course from Hugging Face! What a ripper of a learning experience - it’s full of advanced concepts that are truly “food for your brain,” taking you from Transformer fundamentals right through to fine-tuning large language models (Llama, GPT, etc.), and the best part is - WITH reasonings.
However, let’s be honest with each other: if you tried to run the notebooks straight from the course, you probably didn’t get the code running most of the time!
Dependency issues, outdated scripts, or just getting stuck. It happens to everyone!
That’s why I took the plunge and rebuilt everything from scratch.
I created my own working Jupyter Notebooks - meticulously cleaned, debugged, and tested—so they run seamlessly on:
Google Colab
AWS SageMaker
Your local machines (Python 3.9)
This will save you hours of debugging hell. Thanks me later!
Grab my working study notes (code included) here:

And a quick note to content creators: If a tutorial video has only 20K views after 3-4 years, maybe use a pointer on your slides and don’t just read them.
Happy learning, everyone!
On a quick side note, if you know of any positions where I can bring my passion for building impactful AI applications, I’d love to chat!
Cheers,
