How it works

Not a wall of text. A lab.

Math from the first step

Never seen an equation? Perfect. Every symbol is introduced with a picture you can move, in plain words — from the number line up to gradients and attention.

A real TypeScript workbench

A full code editor with autocomplete and type-checking runs right in the page. You write every model yourself — no Python, no installs, no AI doing it for you.

Tiny models, trained live

Spam filters, neural nets, a name generator, a small GPT: all trained on your own device while you watch the loss fall. Nothing is a video.

Yours, everywhere, privately

Progress saves as you go and syncs across devices with a single key — no email, no password, no tracking. Free forever.

The course map

Eleven modules, one long descent.

Each module leans only on the ones before it, and Modules 1–9 each end with a project. Skip ahead if you already know something — every lesson works on its own — but if you start at zero, you’ll never hit a wall.

Honest pacing: about 90 hours of real work for a complete beginner. At five hours a week that’s roughly 4 months — about the same as a university course, without the tuition.
