Transformer Interview Guide
Prepare for engineering interviews focused on transformer architectures.
Why This Matters
Candidates must be able to sketch out the entire decoder block stack on demand to pass senior interviews.
What You Will Learn
- •Draw block layouts
- •Defend Pre-LN choices
- •Compare attention types
