In plain words

TinyGPT is a deep learning library designed for educational purposes. It provides a simplified approach to implementing and understanding neural networks and language models. The library is intended for students and developers who want to learn the fundamentals of deep learning through hands-on coding with manageable, well-documented code. Its main distinguishing feature is its focus on clarity and accessibility rather than production-level performance or scale.

    very much inspired by karpathy's microgpt of the same name. it's (by default) a 4000 param GPT/LLM/NN that learns to generate names. this is sorta an educational tool in that you can visualize the activations as they pass through the network, and click on things to get an explanation of them.
