I wanted to implement a GPT model from scratch and train it without relying on any external dependencies. However, I found that understanding how frameworks like PyTorch work under the hood was overly complex and difficult to navigate. So, I built TinyGPT — a simple, educational deep learning library written entirely in Python. It’s designed to be minimal and transparent, making it easier to grasp the core concepts of deep learning. I hope it can help others who are also trying to learn how these powerful models work from the inside out.
