Minitorch is a student-built deep learning framework suite where learners implement a mini PyTorch-like tensor library with autograd, operators, and GPU kernels module by module. It accompanies an educational course with GitHub Classroom autograded assignments.

Use cases

• learn how autograd works by implementing it from scratch
• build a mini deep learning framework in python
• course assignment on implementing tensor operations and backpropagation
• understand gpu kernels for deep learning
• teach a deep learning systems course with autograded modules

When to choose

• you want to deeply understand how frameworks like pytorch work internally
• you are a student following the minitorch course or similar curriculum
• you want hands-on practice implementing autodiff and tensor ops

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready deep learning framework
• you want pretrained models or a high-level training api
• you need a maintained library with a license for commercial use
