It would be cool for sb to try jev on it :P although this is not text input at all

Great idea to focus on small, efficient neural networks.

This looks fun. How small are the networks you're aiming for?

the network size brackets are in TFA:

    nano up to 16 KiB
    micro up to 128 KiB 
    mini up to 1 MiB 
    small up to 8 MiB 
    large up to 64 MiB

Each season has a different weight size restrictions. Currently open season is for a full production test.

Reminds me of MechMania at UIUC - exciting!

> Your class is measured, not chosen

> model and manifest bytes together pick the class

What?

How hard is it to write something like "your weight class is determined by the total size of the model and manifest" (if I understood it correctly).

Current version both sounds very AI-sloppy and is ambiguous.

The doc page [0] is even more painful to read.

Thanks for your feedback. I’ve fixed most text now. I did use AI to create the documentation earlier out of rush but now cleaned up everything.

Not all sloppy writing is AI. Quite a few humans also write ambiguously.

OMG!

Just yesterday I published my reworked GoNEAT library that implements HyperNEAT combined with phased search and backpropagation [1].

But it's kind of impossible to enter for me because of the hard pytorch requirements :( would love to see the project as a gym, so that you can run your own ANN design algorithm.

I get that most data science students still use python, but the evolutionary world is kinda in C++ and other native languages.

Anyways, great project nonetheless.

Where do you see a hard requirement? I have added support for ONNX model upload for now and would love to extend support for other formats. How you build the model is totally upto you. I don’t check anything other than format and inference time and model size.

Saw your repo and understood you question better. The requirement are now limiting Neural Networks only, not a direct algorithm implementation

Cool idea!

It would help to delete all the text on the page, and write it without AI.

For example, "model and manifest bytes together pick the class; every version also plays on Open"

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll take that as top priority.

Thanks for sharing. The primary reason building this website is to learn small neural networks and tuning.
