It works for me as long as the number of epochs in the call to nn_train is increased to around 10,000 or higher. So it works, probably not as efficiently or reliably as the best neural network code, but maybe well enough for a starting point of a mini AI framework. <strong>UPDATE: <\/strong>The code of the working version has been uploaded as a second post (the post immediately after this one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Side note: I used to be a small-time investor in the company behind Qwen (Alibaba, maybe better known for online retail) but I don&#8217;t currently hold any shares in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"748\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 969 \/ 748;\" width=\"969\" controls src=\"https:\/\/securelang.net\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screencast-from-2026-03-25-21-37-05.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a little bored after a couple of days of GUI work so I decided to try something different and re-run an AI experiment I tried a year or so ago.
