MicroGPT explained interactively

SMRTR summary

Andrej Karpathy created a 200-line Python script that demonstrates how GPT models work by training a mini-version from scratch using only 32,000 human names as data. The implementation covers all core concepts including tokenization, attention mechanisms, backpropagation, and text generation, showing how models learn statistical patterns to predict the next character and generate plausible new names like "kamon" and "karai."
