The era runs on learning machines, yet the learning itself stays hidden behind an API. Here it is in the open, every step on screen and running entirely in your browser: a neural net carving a decision boundary in real time, an agent stumbling into a reward, attention deciding which word to look at, noise resolving into structure under a diffusion model. No cloud, no keys — just gradients, policies and probability, drawn as they happen.
A real fully-connected neural network learning to read digits, drawn in 3D — every ball a neuron, every wire a weight. Press Train and watch backpropagation flow; open any neuron to read its exact weighted sum.
Draw any curve y=f(x) and watch a tiny MLP learn to fit it live by backpropagation — add neurons to chase wigglier targets and see the universal approximation theorem unfold as a sum of basis bumps.
Watch temperature, top-k and nucleus top-p reshape a language model’s next-token distribution as text streams out token by token.
Drive a real language model by hand: a word-level interpolated trigram trained on public-domain prose shows its top next-token candidates with live probabilities — click one to append it and watch the distribution shift.
A population of little cars, each driven by its own tiny neural network, evolves to race a procedural track — raycast sensors feed an MLP that learns to steer, and a genetic algorithm breeds the survivors generation after generation.
Draw a digit and a classifier trained in your browser on the real MNIST dataset recognises it live — per-class confidence bars and the top pick update on every stroke.
Watch real t-SNE run live: a random fog of high-dimensional points pulls itself apart frame by frame, gradient-descending the KL divergence until clean, separated clusters bloom — Gaussian blobs, interlocking rings, baked digits, concentric shells.
Train a real Byte-Pair Encoding live, then watch your text shatter into colored tokens — and finally see why "strawberry" trips up an LLM trying to count its r’s.
Watch an Echo State Network learn a chaotic signal the lazy, brilliant way: a big FIXED random recurrent reservoir is driven by the input, and only a single linear readout is trained — by ridge regression, no backprop — yet it learns to predict the series, then runs autonomously off its own output, continuing the signal until chaos finally pulls it apart.
Watch real Principal Component Analysis fold a high-dimensional cloud — a tilted 3D Gaussian, the classic Iris flowers, a Swiss-roll, clustered digits — onto its principal axes, points sliding into place while the explained-variance bars fill.
Train a real multinomial Naive Bayes spam filter in your browser, then type a message and watch each word tug the verdict toward spam or ham — with the log-odds math drawn live, word by word.
Solve a stochastic gridworld with value iteration — watch value flood out from the goal and the optimal policy re-point as discount, living reward, and action noise reshape the safest path.
High-dimensional data lives on a curved low-dimensional sheet — so "learning" is unrolling it. Watch a Swiss roll, S-curve, or severed sphere flatten in 3D, then see real Isomap and LLE recover the true 2D layout while linear PCA fails to unroll and folds the colours back on themselves.
Classify every pixel of a 2D plane by the majority vote of its k nearest training points — slide k from a jagged k=1 island map to a smooth large-k wash and watch overfitting melt into underfitting in real time.
Watch a population of genomes evolve over generations — selection, crossover and mutation — as a recognizable image rises from noise, rockets thread an obstacle, a phrase assembles itself, or a swarm climbs a rugged fitness landscape.
Watch a generative adversarial network duel in your browser: a tiny generator maps random noise into 2-D points trying to mimic a real target distribution while a discriminator fights to tell real from fake — the fakes migrate to cover the target, the discriminator surface flattens toward a coin-flip as the generator wins, the two loss curves duel, and on a grid of modes you can trigger the classic mode collapse on cue.
The tech behind image generators, made tractable in 2D — add Gaussian noise to a point cloud until a shape dissolves, then watch a tiny denoiser network you train in your browser flow pure noise back into the shape, guided by a learned score field.
Watch a real optimizer descend a 3D loss surface — switch between SGD, Momentum, RMSProp and Adam, then crank the learning rate until it visibly diverges.
Drop labelled points on a plane and watch four real classifiers — k-NN, logistic regression, a live-trained neural net, and an RBF kernel — carve the space into coloured decision regions before your eyes.
Drag a decision threshold across two overlapping score distributions and watch the confusion matrix, ROC and PR curves, and every metric recompute live — then crank the class imbalance to expose why accuracy lies.
Slide a 3×3 convolution kernel across a procedurally drawn image and watch the feature map light up — switch between blur, sharpen, Sobel edges, emboss and a Laplacian, or hand-craft your own kernel and chain a second layer.
Watch a reinforcement-learning agent teach itself to balance an inverted pendulum on a cart — from flailing in the first second to holding the pole upright for a full episode, with the reward curve climbing live as it learns.
Fit a model to many noisy training sets at once and watch the curve family swing from rigid-and-biased to wild-and-overfit — with the classic U-shaped test error and its sweet spot decomposed live into bias² + variance + noise.
Hunt the maximum of an expensive, hidden function in as few samples as possible — a Gaussian-process surrogate fits the points so far, draws its mean and a ±2σ uncertainty band, and an acquisition function picks the next, smartest place to look.
Train a real neural autoencoder live: tiny glyphs are squeezed through a 2-D bottleneck and rebuilt by a decoder, the reconstructions sharpening epoch by epoch while a latent map blooms into class clusters — then click anywhere in that latent plane to watch the decoder dream a new glyph into being.
A Kohonen lattice that crumples, stretches, and drapes itself over any data distribution — topology discovery made visible.
Watch a tabular RL agent bootstrap a navigation policy from scratch — stumbling through traps, discovering reward, and etching optimal arrows into every cell of the grid.
Watch the 1958 Rosenblatt neuron carve a decision line through your data, one correction at a time.
Watch a hand-rolled neural network bend its decision boundary in real time as it learns to separate 2D point clouds through backpropagation.
The ancestor of GPT — predict the next token from the last few and watch coherence emerge as order grows.
Watch Lloyd's algorithm carve a scatterplot into living Voronoi territories as centroids hunt down their clusters in real time.
Watch a noisy or half-erased pattern snap back to a stored memory as a network of neurons rolls downhill into an attractor.
Five gradient-based optimizers race down the same loss landscape simultaneously, revealing why Adam dominates vanilla SGD in speed, stability, and saddle-point escape.
Roam a hand-crafted semantic space where king − man + woman snaps exactly to queen, and clusters of meaning bloom in neon colour.
Watch a CART classifier carve your 2-D data into axis-aligned regions — one information-maximising split at a time.
Watch ε-greedy, UCB1, and Thompson Sampling race to find the best slot machine arm — live cumulative regret plotted as the algorithms explore and exploit.
