<h2 id="summary">Summary</h2>

<p>A brief summary of what was discussed, key takeaways, and any interesting questions that came up during the session.</p>

<p>You can write this in full Markdown — equations with LaTeX, code blocks, images, etc.</p>

<p>For example, the scaled dot-product attention is:</p>

\[\text{Attention}(Q, K, V) = \text{softmax}\left(\frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{d_k}}\right)V\]

<h2 id="lab">Lab</h2>

<p><strong>Challenge:</strong> Implement a single-head attention mechanism from scratch in PyTorch.<br />
