The next addition to my progress in learning C 🤓 is a very simple MLP on MNIST in a little under 500 lines (would be less without data prep and logging), with a comparison speed benchmark in pure Python. Next step is writing it in CUDA 🚀! .

After being inspired by projects like llm.c, I have finally gotten around to learning C. I have started off really simple with a pure C version of CartPole to train PPO. Unsurprisingly, it is getting a 12x perf increase over the gym version #rl #c #ai.

@_ddjohnson Turns out there is already good support for working with and converting Flax models 😁

This looks very cool! Would love to see a wrapper for converting Flax models to Penzai for post-training analysis @_ddjohnson 👀.

Excited to share Penzai, a JAX research toolkit from @GoogleDeepMind for building, editing, and visualizing neural networks! Penzai makes it easy to see model internals and lets you inject custom logic anywhere. Check it out on GitHub:
