A developer has created a deep learning library from scratch in C, enabling the training of language models without relying on existing ML frameworks. The library includes tensor manipulation, autograd functionality for backpropagation, neural network modules, and a decoder with layers like MHA and FFN. To optimize performance, the developer implemented fast matrix multiplication using AVX2 instructions. Using this custom library, a small language model with 2 million parameters was successfully trained on the "tiny_shakespear" dataset, achieving a validation loss of 0.02989. AI
