The pre-training loop is the core of language model training. Each iteration follows the same sequence: load a batch, compute the loss, backpropagate, update weights.

The Training Loop

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.optim as optim

class SimpleLanguageModel(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, vocab_size, d_model):
        super().__init__()
        self.embedding = nn.Embedding(vocab_size, d_model)
        self.linear = nn.Linear(d_model, vocab_size)

    def forward(self, x):
        return self.linear(self.embedding(x))


vocab_size = 1000
d_model = 128
batch_size = 16
seq_len = 20

model = SimpleLanguageModel(vocab_size, d_model)
optimizer = optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3)
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

# Dummy batch: input tokens and their shifted targets
inputs = torch.randint(0, vocab_size, (batch_size, seq_len))
targets = torch.randint(0, vocab_size, (batch_size, seq_len))

model.train()
for epoch in range(20):
    optimizer.zero_grad()                          # 1. Clear gradients

    logits = model(inputs)                         # 2. Forward pass

    loss = criterion(                              # 3. Compute CLM loss
        logits.view(-1, vocab_size),
        targets.view(-1)
    )

    loss.backward()                                # 4. Backpropagate
    optimizer.step()                               # 5. Update weights

    print(f"Epoch {epoch + 1:02d} – loss: {loss.item():.4f}")

Each step has a fixed role. Calling optimizer.zero_grad() first is essential – without it, gradients from the previous batch accumulate and corrupt the update.

Note that in a real pre-training setup, targets is inputs shifted by one position to the right – the CLM objective from the previous chapter. The dummy random targets here are only for demonstrating the loop structure.

Run this locally and watch the loss decrease over 20 epochs. Then replace SimpleLanguageModel with the transformer you built in Course 2 to see the full pipeline in action.
