I don't mean to be 'that guy', but after a quick review, this really feels like low-effort AI slop to me. There is nothing wrong using AI tools to write code, but nothing here seems to have taken more than a generic 'write me a small LLM in PyTorch' prompt, or any specific human understanding. The bar for what constitutes an engineering feat on HN seems to have shifted significantly.

I don't really understand the point of this project or how it demystifies anything. Click the browser demo and I get a generic AI chat screen. Is the readme the part that "demystifies" something? I feel like I am living in a bizarro world. Is this all AI? Are all the comments here from bots?
