A Complete GPT Language Model in ~600 Lines of C#, Zero Dependencies — Educational Autograd Engine
Hacker News·low signal
A GitHub project implements a full GPT language model from scratch in approximately 600 lines of C# with zero external dependencies, built on a custom autograd engine. The project serves as an educational resource for understanding transformer internals without framework abstraction, similar in spirit to Karpathy's micrograd but in C#. The 26-point HN discussion reflects ongoing community appetite for from-scratch AI implementations in non-Python languages.
