My Workflow for Understanding LLM Architectures
Sebastian Raschka 分享了理解开放权重 LLM 架构的手工工作流，通常先阅读官方技术报告，再检查 Hugging Face Model Hub 上的配置文件和 Python transformers 参考实现，以补足论文缺失的架构细节。该方法不适用于权重和技术细节未公开的 ChatGPT、Claude 或 Gemini。

Many people asked me over the past months to share my workflow for how I come up with the LLM architecture sketches and drawings in my articles, talks, and the LLM-Gallery. So I thought it would be useful to document the process I usually follow.
The short version is that I usually start with the official technical reports, but these days, papers are often less detailed than they used to be, especially for most open-weight models from industry labs.
The good part is that if the weights are shared on the Hugging Face Model Hub and the model is supported in the Python transformers library, we can usually inspect the config file and the reference implementation directly to get more information about the architecture details. And “working” code doesn’t lie.
I should also say that this is mainly a workflow for open-weight models. It doesn’t really apply to models like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, where the weights and details are proprietary.
Also, this is intentionally a fairly manual process. You could automate parts of it. But if the goal is to learn how these architectures work, then doing a few of these by hand is, in my opinion, still one of the best exercises.
