I've have been working on a simple browser game based on the eastern front (1941-43) , I saw a couple of videos explaining using maps the battles on the eastern front.

Good introduction! Building pytorch-lite using python and numpy is the way to go.

maybe creating a simple "pytorch like library" and training models using that? No?
Re:Neural Networks: Zero to Hero on Sunday January 04, 2026 @05:52AM (#46486834)
maybe we can create one ourselves. Posted this a few days ago here. A decent read: https://zekcrates.quarto.pub/deep-learning-library/

Yes i've read your blogposts way back then. Nice work with the gpt-2!!

thanks!!

If you are asking about the "micrograd" video then yes a little bit. "micrograd" is for scalars and we use tensors in the book. If you are reading the book I would recommend to first complete the series or atleast the "micrograd" video.

Yes!!

Its nice! Yeah a lot of the heavy lifting is done by Numpy.

I agree! What NumPy is doing is actually quite beautiful. I was thinking of writing a custom c++ backend for this thing. Lets see what happens this year.
