SummaryThe Architect is a system that converts Microsoft Excel into an interactive view of deep learning mathematics, generating workbooks with live spreadsheet formulas for forward and backward passes, parameter updates, and aligned PyTorch snippets to support learning and diagnostic inspection of neural network computations.
Why it mattersConcrete tool that turns a spreadsheet into an inspectable model of a small network, useful for tracing arithmetic, learning-rate sweeps, and diagnosing dying ReLU or vanishing gradients.
