About the project
An educational LLM inference engine in C++ and CUDA that walks through what happens between a prompt and a generated token, with a video series and handwritten notes.
Useful for
- Walk through how prefill, decode and the KV cache work in a transformer
- Study a C++/CUDA implementation of paged attention and continuous batching
- Run generation on Llama 3.2 1B Instruct and inspect page pool stats

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 10, 2026, 06:13 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-10 (UTC), 00:26–06:03: 154 → 167 stars (+13). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +109 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 1 per day.
- Hacker News: “6 Hours of YouTube and 85 handtyped pages of notes on LLM Inference – Start here” — 77 points, 18 h ago.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @toranb (370 followers).
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 169.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
