🛠️ I built a lite LPU that can do inference on Karpathy's MicroGPT
Summary
The creators built a lite language processing unit (LPU) from scratch to run inference on Karpathy's MicroGPT. The project demonstrates how basic math and logic circuits can be used to understand and build modern AI hardware.
Why it’s interesting
Students designed their own custom AI hardware and LPU architecture from scratch without prior formal chip design training.
