+# 👩‍🏫 TinyTorch Instructor Guide
+
+Complete guide for teaching ML Systems Engineering with TinyTorch.
+
+## 🎯 Course Overview
+
+TinyTorch teaches ML systems engineering through building, not just using. Students construct a complete ML framework from tensors to transformers, understanding memory, performance, and scaling at each step.
+
+## 🛠️ Instructor Setup
+
+### **1. Initial Setup**
+```bash
+# Clone and setup
+git clone https://github.com/MLSysBook/TinyTorch.git
+cd TinyTorch
+
+# Virtual environment (MANDATORY)
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install with instructor tools
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install nbgrader
+
+# Setup grading infrastructure
+tito grade setup
+```
+
+### **2. Verify Installation**
+```bash
+tito system doctor
+# Should show all green checkmarks
+
+tito grade
+# Should show available grade commands
+```
+
+## 📝 Assignment Workflow
+
+### **Simplified with Tito CLI**
+We've wrapped NBGrader behind simple `tito grade` commands so you don't need to learn NBGrader's complex interface.
+
+### **1. Prepare Assignments**
+```bash
+# Generate instructor version (with solutions)
+tito grade generate 01_tensor
+
+# Create student version (solutions removed)
+tito grade release 01_tensor
+
+# Student version will be in: release/tinytorch/01_tensor/
+```
+
+### **2. Distribute to Students**
+```bash
+# Option A: GitHub Classroom (recommended)
+# 1. Create assignment repository from TinyTorch
+# 2. Remove solutions from modules
+# 3. Students clone and work
+
+# Option B: Direct distribution
+# Share the release/ directory contents
+```
+
+### **3. Collect Submissions**
+```bash
+# Collect all students
+tito grade collect 01_tensor
+
+# Or specific student
+tito grade collect 01_tensor --student student_id
+```
+
+### **4. Auto-Grade**
+```bash
+# Grade all submissions
+tito grade autograde 01_tensor
+
+# Grade specific student
+tito grade autograde 01_tensor --student student_id
+```
+
+### **5. Manual Review**
+```bash
+# Open grading interface (browser-based)
+tito grade manual 01_tensor
+
+# This launches a web interface for:
+# - Reviewing ML Systems question responses
+# - Adding feedback comments
+# - Adjusting auto-grades
+```
+
+### **6. Generate Feedback**
+```bash
+# Create feedback files for students
+tito grade feedback 01_tensor
+```
+
+### **7. Export Grades**
+```bash
+# Export all grades to CSV
+tito grade export
+
+# Or specific module
+tito grade export --module 01_tensor --output grades_module01.csv
+```
+
+## 📊 Grading Components
+
+### **Auto-Graded (70%)**
+- Code implementation correctness
+- Test passing
+- Function signatures
+- Output validation
+
+### **Manually Graded (30%)**
+- ML Systems Thinking questions (3 per module)
+- Each question: 10 points
+- Focus on understanding, not perfection
+
+### **Grading Rubric for ML Systems Questions**
+
+| Points | Criteria |
+|--------|----------|
+| 9-10 | Demonstrates deep understanding, references specific code, discusses systems implications |
+| 7-8 | Good understanding, some code references, basic systems thinking |
+| 5-6 | Surface understanding, generic response, limited systems perspective |
+| 3-4 | Attempted but misses key concepts |
+| 0-2 | No attempt or completely off-topic |
+
+**What to Look For:**
+- References to actual implemented code
+- Memory/performance analysis
+- Scaling considerations
+- Production system comparisons
+- Understanding of trade-offs
+
+## 📋 Sample Solutions for Grading Calibration
+
+This section provides sample solutions to help calibrate grading standards. Use these as reference points when evaluating student submissions.
+
+### Module 01: Tensor - Memory Footprint
+
+**Excellent Solution (9-10 points)**:
+```python
+def memory_footprint(self):
+    """Calculate tensor memory in bytes."""
+    return self.data.nbytes
+```
+**Why Excellent**: 
+- Concise and correct
+- Uses NumPy's built-in `nbytes` property
+- Clear docstring
+- Handles all tensor shapes correctly
+
+**Good Solution (7-8 points)**:
+```python
+def memory_footprint(self):
+    """Calculate memory usage."""
+    return np.prod(self.data.shape) * self.data.dtype.itemsize
+```
+**Why Good**: 
+- Correct implementation
+- Manually calculates (shows understanding)
+- Works but less efficient than using `nbytes`
+- Minor: docstring could be more specific
+
+**Acceptable Solution (5-6 points)**:
+```python
+def memory_footprint(self):
+    size = 1
+    for dim in self.data.shape:
+        size *= dim
+    return size * 4  # Assumes float32
+```
+**Why Acceptable**: 
+- Correct logic but hardcoded dtype size
+- Works for float32 but fails for other dtypes
+- Shows understanding of memory calculation
+- Missing proper dtype handling
+
+### Module 05: Autograd - Backward Pass
+
+**Excellent Solution (9-10 points)**:
+```python
+def backward(self, gradient=None):
+    """Backward pass through computational graph."""
+    if gradient is None:
+        gradient = np.ones_like(self.data)
+    
+    self.grad = gradient
+    
+    if self.grad_fn is not None:
+        # Compute gradients for inputs
+        input_grads = self.grad_fn.backward(gradient)
+        
+        # Propagate to input tensors
+        if isinstance(input_grads, tuple):
+            for input_tensor, input_grad in zip(self.grad_fn.inputs, input_grads):
+                if input_tensor.requires_grad:
+                    input_tensor.backward(input_grad)
+        else:
+            if self.grad_fn.inputs[0].requires_grad:
+                self.grad_fn.inputs[0].backward(input_grads)
+```
+**Why Excellent**:
+- Handles both scalar and tensor gradients
+- Properly checks `requires_grad` before propagating
+- Handles tuple returns from grad_fn
+- Clear variable names and structure
+
+**Good Solution (7-8 points)**:
+```python
+def backward(self, gradient=None):
+    if gradient is None:
+        gradient = np.ones_like(self.data)
+    self.grad = gradient
+    if self.grad_fn:
+        grads = self.grad_fn.backward(gradient)
+        for inp, grad in zip(self.grad_fn.inputs, grads):
+            inp.backward(grad)
+```
+**Why Good**:
+- Correct logic
+- Missing `requires_grad` check (minor issue)
+- Assumes grads is always iterable (may fail for single input)
+- Works for most cases but less robust
+
+**Acceptable Solution (5-6 points)**:
+```python
+def backward(self, grad):
+    self.grad = grad
+    if self.grad_fn:
+        self.grad_fn.inputs[0].backward(self.grad_fn.backward(grad))
+```
+**Why Acceptable**:
+- Basic backward pass works
+- Only handles single input (fails for multi-input operations)
+- Missing None gradient handling
+- Shows understanding but incomplete
+
+### Module 09: Spatial - Convolution Implementation
+
+**Excellent Solution (9-10 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, x):
+    """Forward pass with explicit loops for clarity."""
+    batch_size, in_channels, height, width = x.shape
+    out_height = (height - self.kernel_size + 2 * self.padding) // self.stride + 1
+    out_width = (width - self.kernel_size + 2 * self.padding) // self.stride + 1
+    
+    output = np.zeros((batch_size, self.out_channels, out_height, out_width))
+    
+    # Apply padding
+    if self.padding > 0:
+        x = np.pad(x, ((0, 0), (0, 0), (self.padding, self.padding), 
+                      (self.padding, self.padding)), mode='constant')
+    
+    # Explicit convolution loops
+    for b in range(batch_size):
+        for oc in range(self.out_channels):
+            for oh in range(out_height):
+                for ow in range(out_width):
+                    h_start = oh * self.stride
+                    w_start = ow * self.stride
+                    h_end = h_start + self.kernel_size
+                    w_end = w_start + self.kernel_size
+                    
+                    window = x[b, :, h_start:h_end, w_start:w_end]
+                    output[b, oc, oh, ow] = np.sum(
+                        window * self.weight[oc] + self.bias[oc]
+                    )
+    
+    return Tensor(output, requires_grad=x.requires_grad)
+```
+**Why Excellent**:
+- Clear output shape calculation
+- Proper padding handling
+- Explicit loops make O(kernel_size²) complexity visible
+- Correct gradient tracking setup
+- Well-structured and readable
+
+**Good Solution (7-8 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, x):
+    B, C, H, W = x.shape
+    out_h = (H - self.kernel_size) // self.stride + 1
+    out_w = (W - self.kernel_size) // self.stride + 1
+    out = np.zeros((B, self.out_channels, out_h, out_w))
+    
+    for b in range(B):
+        for oc in range(self.out_channels):
+            for i in range(out_h):
+                for j in range(out_w):
+                    h = i * self.stride
+                    w = j * self.stride
+                    out[b, oc, i, j] = np.sum(
+                        x[b, :, h:h+self.kernel_size, w:w+self.kernel_size] 
+                        * self.weight[oc]
+                    ) + self.bias[oc]
+    return Tensor(out)
+```
+**Why Good**:
+- Correct implementation
+- Missing padding support (works only for padding=0)
+- Less clear variable names
+- Missing requires_grad propagation
+
+**Acceptable Solution (5-6 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, x):
+    out = np.zeros((x.shape[0], self.out_channels, x.shape[2]-2, x.shape[3]-2))
+    for b in range(x.shape[0]):
+        for c in range(self.out_channels):
+            for i in range(out.shape[2]):
+                for j in range(out.shape[3]):
+                    out[b, c, i, j] = np.sum(x[b, :, i:i+3, j:j+3] * self.weight[c])
+    return Tensor(out)
+```
+**Why Acceptable**:
+- Basic convolution works
+- Hardcoded kernel_size=3 (not general)
+- No stride or padding support
+- Shows understanding but incomplete
+
+### Module 12: Attention - Scaled Dot-Product Attention
+
+**Excellent Solution (9-10 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, query, key, value, mask=None):
+    """Scaled dot-product attention with numerical stability."""
+    # Compute attention scores
+    scores = np.dot(query, key.T) / np.sqrt(self.d_k)
+    
+    # Apply mask if provided
+    if mask is not None:
+        scores = np.where(mask, scores, -1e9)
+    
+    # Softmax with numerical stability
+    exp_scores = np.exp(scores - np.max(scores, axis=-1, keepdims=True))
+    attention_weights = exp_scores / np.sum(exp_scores, axis=-1, keepdims=True)
+    
+    # Apply attention to values
+    output = np.dot(attention_weights, value)
+    
+    return output, attention_weights
+```
+**Why Excellent**:
+- Proper scaling factor (1/√d_k)
+- Numerical stability with max subtraction
+- Mask handling
+- Returns both output and attention weights
+- Clear and well-documented
+
+**Good Solution (7-8 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, q, k, v):
+    scores = np.dot(q, k.T) / np.sqrt(q.shape[-1])
+    weights = np.exp(scores) / np.sum(np.exp(scores), axis=-1, keepdims=True)
+    return np.dot(weights, v)
+```
+**Why Good**:
+- Correct implementation
+- Missing numerical stability (may overflow)
+- Missing mask support
+- Works but less robust
+
+**Acceptable Solution (5-6 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, q, k, v):
+    scores = np.dot(q, k.T)
+    weights = np.exp(scores) / np.sum(np.exp(scores))
+    return np.dot(weights, v)
+```
+**Why Acceptable**:
+- Basic attention mechanism
+- Missing scaling factor
+- Missing numerical stability
+- Incorrect softmax (should be per-row)
+
+### Grading Guidelines Using Sample Solutions
+
+**When Evaluating Student Code**:
+
+1. **Correctness First**: Does it pass all tests?
+   - If no: Maximum 6 points (even if well-written)
+   - If yes: Proceed to quality evaluation
+
+2. **Code Quality**: 
+   - **Excellent (9-10)**: Production-ready, handles edge cases, well-documented
+   - **Good (7-8)**: Correct and functional, minor improvements possible
+   - **Acceptable (5-6)**: Works but incomplete or has issues
+
+3. **Systems Thinking**:
+   - **Excellent**: Discusses memory, performance, scaling implications
+   - **Good**: Some systems awareness
+   - **Acceptable**: Focuses only on correctness
+
+4. **Common Patterns**:
+   - Look for: Proper error handling, edge case consideration, documentation
+   - Red flags: Hardcoded values, missing checks, unclear variable names
+
+**Remember**: These are calibration examples. Adjust based on your course level and learning objectives. The goal is consistent evaluation, not perfection.

+# Assignments Are Dynamically Generated
+
+## Important: Assignments Directory Structure
+
+**All assignments are dynamically generated** from the `modules/` directory using `tito nbgrader` commands. The `assignments/` directory should **not** be manually maintained.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Source of Truth: `modules/` Directory
+
+The actual module content lives in:
+```
+modules/
+├── 01_tensor/
+│   └── tensor_dev.py      ← Source of truth
+├── 02_activations/
+│   └── activations_dev.py  ← Source of truth
+└── ...
+```
+
+### Dynamic Generation: `assignments/` Directory
+
+Assignments are **generated** from modules using:
+
+```bash
+# Generate assignment for a single module
+tito nbgrader generate 01_tensor
+
+# Generate assignments for all modules
+tito nbgrader generate --all
+
+# Generate assignments for a range
+tito nbgrader generate --range 01-05
+```
+
+This creates:
+```
+assignments/
+├── source/
+│   ├── 01_tensor/
+│   │   └── 01_tensor.ipynb    ← Generated from modules/01_tensor/tensor_dev.py
+│   └── 02_activations/
+│       └── 02_activations.ipynb ← Generated from modules/02_activations/activations_dev.py
+└── release/
+    └── ... (student versions, generated via 'tito nbgrader release')
+```
+
+## Process Flow
+
+```
+modules/01_tensor/tensor_dev.py
+    ↓ (tito nbgrader generate)
+    ↓ (jupytext converts .py → .ipynb)
+    ↓ (NotebookGenerator processes with nbgrader markers)
+assignments/source/01_tensor/01_tensor.ipynb
+    ↓ (tito nbgrader release)
+assignments/release/01_tensor/01_tensor.ipynb (student version)
+```
+
+## What This Means
+
+1. **Don't manually edit** `assignments/source/` files - they're generated
+2. **Edit modules** in `modules/` directory instead
+3. **Regenerate assignments** when modules change: `tito nbgrader generate`
+4. **Old assignments** (like `01_setup`) are outdated - regenerate from current modules
+
+## Outdated Assignment: `01_setup`
+
+The `assignments/source/01_setup/` directory is **outdated** because:
+- Module 01 is now "Tensor" (`modules/01_tensor/`)
+- It was created when Module 01 was "Setup" (old structure)
+- Should be regenerated: `tito nbgrader generate 01_tensor`
+
+## For Binder/Colab
+
+**No impact** - Binder setup doesn't depend on assignment notebooks. However:
+- If you want to include assignments in Binder, regenerate them first:
+  ```bash
+  tito nbgrader generate --all
+  ```
+- Students can access modules directly from `modules/` directory
+- Assignments are optional - modules are the source of truth
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always regenerate** assignments after modifying modules
+2. **Don't commit** manually edited assignment files
+3. **Use `tito nbgrader generate`** to create assignments
+4. **Keep modules/** as the single source of truth
+
+## Commands Reference
+
+```bash
+# Generate assignments
+tito nbgrader generate 01_tensor          # Single module
+tito nbgrader generate --all             # All modules
+tito nbgrader generate --range 01-05     # Range
+
+# Release to students (removes solutions)
+tito nbgrader release 01_tensor
+
+# Generate feedback
+tito nbgrader feedback 01_tensor
+```

+# Benchmark & Community Commands Design
+
+## Command Structure
+
+### Benchmark Commands (Performance)
+
+**Two Types of Benchmarks:**
+
+1. **Baseline Benchmark** (`tito benchmark baseline`)
+   - Lightweight, runs after setup
+   - Quick validation: "Everything works!"
+   - Basic operations: tensor ops, simple forward pass
+   - **Purpose**: Hello world moment, verify setup
+
+2. **Capstone Benchmark** (`tito benchmark capstone`)
+   - Full benchmark suite (Module 20)
+   - Proper performance metrics
+   - All optimization tracks: Speed, Compression, Accuracy, Efficiency
+   - **Purpose**: Real performance evaluation, leaderboard
+
+### Community Commands (Cohort Feeling)
+
+1. **Join** (`tito community join`)
+   - Add to community map
+   - Share location, institution, course type
+   - **Purpose**: "I'm part of the cohort!"
+
+2. **Update** (`tito community update`)
+   - Update progress: milestones, modules completed
+   - Refresh community entry

+# Automatic Notebook Preparation in Site Build
+
+## Overview
+
+Notebook preparation is now **automatically integrated** into the site build process. When you build the site, notebooks are automatically prepared for launch buttons to work.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Automatic Integration
+
+The build process now includes notebook preparation:
+
+```bash
+cd site
+make html        # Automatically prepares notebooks, then builds site
+jupyter-book build .  # Also prepares notebooks automatically
+```
+
+### Build Flow
+
+```
+1. User runs: make html
+   ↓
+2. prepare_notebooks.sh runs automatically
+   ↓
+3. Script looks for existing assignment notebooks
+   ↓
+4. Copies them to site/chapters/modules/
+   ↓
+5. Jupyter Book builds site
+   ↓
+6. Launch buttons appear on notebook pages!
+```
+
+## What Gets Prepared
+
+### Source: Assignment Notebooks
+The script uses notebooks from `assignments/source/` (generated via `tito nbgrader generate`):
+
+```
+assignments/source/01_tensor/01_tensor.ipynb
+    ↓ (copied during build)
+site/chapters/modules/01_tensor.ipynb
+```
+
+### Why Assignment Notebooks?
+- Already processed with nbgrader markers
+- Student-ready format
+- Generated from Python source files
+- Consistent with assignment workflow
+
+## Build Commands
+
+All build commands now include notebook preparation:
+
+### HTML Build
+```bash
+cd site
+make html
+# Or directly:
+jupyter-book build .
+```
+
+### PDF Builds
+```bash
+make pdf-simple   # HTML-to-PDF (includes notebook prep)
+make pdf          # LaTeX PDF (includes notebook prep)
+```
+
+## Manual Preparation (Optional)
+
+If you want to prepare notebooks manually:
+
+```bash
+cd site
+./prepare_notebooks.sh
+```
+
+This is useful for:
+- Testing notebook preparation
+- Debugging launch button issues
+- Preparing notebooks before CI/CD builds
+
+## Workflow Summary
+
+### Complete Development → Site Flow
+
+```
+1. Development
+   Edit: modules/01_tensor/tensor_dev.py
+   
+2. Generate Assignments
+   Run: tito nbgrader generate 01_tensor
+   Creates: assignments/source/01_tensor/01_tensor.ipynb
+   
+3. Build Site (automatic)
+   Run: cd site && make html
+   Auto-prepares: Copies notebooks to site/chapters/modules/
+   Builds: Jupyter Book with launch buttons
+   
+4. Launch Buttons Work!
+   Users click → Binder/Colab opens with notebook
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+✅ **Automatic**: No manual steps needed
+✅ **Consistent**: Always uses latest notebooks
+✅ **Fast**: Uses existing assignment notebooks when available
+✅ **Robust**: Falls back gracefully if notebooks don't exist
+✅ **Integrated**: Works with all build commands
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Launch Buttons Don't Appear
+
+1. **Check notebooks exist**:
+   ```bash
+   ls site/chapters/modules/*.ipynb
+   ```
+
+2. **Regenerate assignments**:
+   ```bash
+   tito nbgrader generate --all
+   ```
+
+3. **Rebuild site**:
+   ```bash
+   cd site && make html
+   ```
+
+### Notebooks Not Found
+
+If you see "No notebooks prepared":
+- Run `tito nbgrader generate --all` first
+- Ensure modules have Python source files
+- Check that `tito` command is available
+
+### Build Fails
+
+The prepare script is designed to fail gracefully:
+- If `tito` is not available, it skips preparation
+- If notebooks don't exist, it warns but continues
+- Build continues even if preparation fails
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+For automated builds (GitHub Actions, etc.):
+
+```yaml
+# Example GitHub Actions step
+- name: Build site
+  run: |
+    cd site
+    make html
+```
+
+The prepare script automatically handles:
+- Missing `tito` command (skips gracefully)
+- Missing notebooks (warns but continues)
+- Non-git environments (works in CI/CD)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Notebook preparation integrated into build
+2. ✅ Launch buttons will work automatically
+3. ⏳ Test Binder/Colab links after build
+4. ⏳ Verify launch buttons appear on site

+# Cleanup Notes: Old 01_setup Module
+
+## Issue
+The `assignments/source/01_setup/` directory contains an outdated notebook from when Module 01 was "Setup". Module 01 is now "Tensor" (`modules/01_tensor/`).
+
+## Current State
+- ✅ **Current Module 01**: `modules/01_tensor/` (Tensor)
+- ⚠️ **Old Assignment**: `assignments/source/01_setup/` (outdated)
+- ✅ **Current Assignment**: `assignments/source/02_tensor/` (Tensor)
+
+## Impact on Binder/Colab
+**No impact** - Binder setup doesn't depend on specific assignment notebooks. The `binder/` configuration:
+- Installs TinyTorch package (`pip install -e .`)
+- Provides JupyterLab environment
+- Students can access any notebooks in the repository
+
+## References Updated
+- ✅ `binder/VERIFY.md` - Updated Colab example to use `02_tensor`
+- ✅ `site/usage-paths/classroom-use.md` - Updated nbgrader commands
+- ✅ `docs/STUDENT_QUICKSTART.md` - Updated module references
+
+## Recommendation
+The old `assignments/source/01_setup/` directory can be:
+1. **Removed** if no longer needed (cleanest option)
+2. **Kept** if you want to preserve old assignments for reference
+3. **Moved** to an archive directory if you want to keep history
+
+**For Binder/Colab**: No action needed - they work regardless of this old directory.

+2. ✅ Covers all use cases
+3. ✅ No additional complexity
+4. ✅ Students familiar with Colab
+5. ✅ MyBinder perfect for zero-setup access
+
+**Optional:** Add Deepnote if you want better collaboration features, but it's not necessary.
+
+## Testing Current Setup
+
+To verify launch buttons work:
+1. Build site: `cd site && make html`
+2. Check notebook pages have launch buttons
+3. Test Binder: Click "Launch Binder" → Should open MyBinder
+4. Test Colab: Click "Launch Colab" → Should open in Colab

+
+🚀 Next Steps:
+   • Continue building modules
+   • Run 'tito benchmark baseline' anytime
+   • Complete all milestones for full score
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Phase 1: Baseline Benchmark (Core)
+
+1. **Create `tito/commands/benchmark.py`**:
+   - `tito benchmark baseline` - Run benchmarks, generate JSON
+   - `tito benchmark submit` - Upload to server (optional)
+
+2. **Benchmark Suite**:
+   - Lightweight tests (don't require all modules)
+   - Basic tensor operations
+   - Simple forward pass
+   - Memory profiling
+
+3. **JSON Generation**:
+   - Save to `benchmarks/baseline_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json`
+   - Include system info, benchmark results, milestone status
+
+### Phase 2: Server Integration
+
+1. **API Endpoint**:
+   - Simple REST API
+   - Accepts benchmark JSON
+   - Returns rank/percentile/badge
+   - Stores in database
+
+2. **Leaderboard**:
+   - Public web page
+   - Shows rankings
+   - Filterable/searchable
+
+### Phase 3: Community Features
+
+1. **Badges**:
+   - "🚀 First Steps" - Completed baseline
+   - "⚡ Fast Setup" - Top 10% performance
+   - "🏆 All Milestones" - All milestones passed
+   - "🌍 Community Member" - Submitted to leaderboard
+
+2. **Sharing**:
+   - Generate shareable image/card
+   - "I just set up TinyTorch! Score: 85/100"
+   - Link to leaderboard
+
+## Technical Considerations
+
+### Benchmark Design
+
+**Keep it lightweight**:
+- Don't require all modules
+- Use basic operations only
+- Fast execution (< 30 seconds)
+- Works after setup + milestone validation
+
+**What to benchmark**:
+- Tensor creation speed
+- Matrix multiplication throughput
+- Simple forward pass (2-layer network)
+- Memory efficiency
+- Basic autograd operations
+
+### Privacy & Opt-in
+
+- **Default**: Benchmarks saved locally only
+- **Optional**: `--public` flag to share
+- **Anonymized**: System info only (no personal data)
+- **Consent**: Clear messaging about what's shared
+
+### Server Architecture
+
+**Simple approach**:
+- Static JSON file storage (GitHub Pages?)
+- Or simple API (Flask/FastAPI)
+- Database: SQLite or PostgreSQL
+- Leaderboard: Static site generator
+
+**More advanced**:
+- Real-time leaderboard
+- User accounts (optional)
+- Historical tracking
+- Regional comparisons

+# Marimo Integration for TinyTorch
+
+## What is Marimo?
+
+[Marimo](https://marimo.io/) is a modern, reactive Python notebook platform that:
+- **Stores notebooks as pure Python** (`.py` files) - Git-friendly!
+- **Reactive execution** - Cells update automatically when dependencies change
+- **Interactive elements** - Built-in widgets, sliders, dataframes
+- **AI-native** - Built-in AI assistance and copilots
+- **Share as apps** - Export to HTML or serve as web apps
+- **Reproducible** - Deterministic execution, no hidden state
+
+## Why Marimo for TinyTorch?
+
+**Perfect Fit:**
+1. ✅ **Git-friendly** - Notebooks stored as `.py` files (matches TinyTorch's Python-first approach!)
+2. ✅ **Reactive** - Great for teaching (students see changes propagate automatically)
+3. ✅ **Educational** - Used by Stanford, UC Berkeley, Princeton, etc.
+4. ✅ **Modern** - Better than Jupyter for many use cases
+5. ✅ **Open source** - Free and community-driven
+
+## Marimo vs Current Options
+
+| Feature | MyBinder | Colab | Marimo |
+|---------|----------|-------|--------|
+| Git-friendly | ❌ (.ipynb) | ❌ (.ipynb) | ✅ (.py files) |
+| Reactive | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
+| AI assistance | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Free | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Zero-setup | ✅ | ⚠️ (needs account) | ✅ |
+| GPU access | ❌ | ✅ | ⚠️ (limited) |
+
+## Integration Options
+
+### Option 1: Marimo Molab Badges
+
+Marimo provides "molab" badges that can open notebooks directly from GitHub:
+
+```
+https://marimo.app/molab?repo=mlsysbook/TinyTorch&path=path/to/notebook.py
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+- Notebooks stored as `.py` files in repo
+- Badge links to marimo's cloud service
+- Opens notebook in marimo's online editor
+- No local installation needed
+
+### Option 2: Add to Launch Buttons
+
+Jupyter Book doesn't natively support marimo launch buttons, but we can:
+1. Add custom HTML/JavaScript to create marimo badges
+2. Use marimo's badge generator
+3. Add manual links in notebook pages
+
+### Option 3: Convert Notebooks to Marimo Format
+
+Since marimo uses `.py` files, we could:
+1. Keep current `.ipynb` files for Jupyter/Colab/Binder
+2. Generate `.py` versions for marimo
+3. Add marimo badges alongside existing launch buttons
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Add Marimo as an Option:**
+
+1. **Keep current setup** (MyBinder + Colab) - they work well
+2. **Add marimo badges** to notebook pages for students who want reactive notebooks
+3. **Generate `.py` versions** of notebooks for marimo compatibility
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Students get choice of notebook platforms
+- Marimo's reactive execution helps with learning
+- Git-friendly format aligns with TinyTorch's Python-first approach
+- Modern, educational tool used by top universities
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Generate Marimo-Compatible Notebooks
+
+Since TinyTorch already uses Python-first development (`*_dev.py` files), we could:
+- Convert assignment notebooks to marimo format
+- Or create marimo-specific versions
+
+### Step 2: Add Marimo Badges
+
+Add to notebook pages:
+```html
+<a href="https://marimo.app/molab?repo=mlsysbook/TinyTorch&path=site/chapters/modules/01_tensor.py">
+  <img src="https://marimo.app/badge.svg" alt="Open in Marimo">
+</a>
+```
+
+### Step 3: Document Marimo Usage
+
+Add to student documentation:
+- How to use marimo with TinyTorch
+- Benefits of reactive notebooks
+- Comparison with Jupyter/Colab
+
+## Current Status
+
+**Not yet integrated** - but marimo would be a great addition!
+
+**Next steps if you want to add it:**
+1. Test marimo with TinyTorch notebooks
+2. Generate marimo-compatible `.py` files
+3. Add badges to site pages
+4. Update documentation
+

+# Marimo and NBGrader Compatibility
+
+## Short Answer: ✅ No, Marimo badges won't break NBGrader
+
+**Why:**
+- Marimo badges are just **frontend UI elements** (JavaScript links)
+- They don't modify notebook files
+- NBGrader reads from actual `.ipynb` files, not from the website
+- Badges just create links to open notebooks in Marimo's cloud service
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Marimo Badges (What We Added)
+- **What they do**: Add a "🍃 Open in Marimo" link to notebook pages
+- **What they don't do**: Modify notebook files or NBGrader metadata
+- **Impact on NBGrader**: **None** - they're just links
+
+### NBGrader Workflow
+1. Instructors generate notebooks: `tito nbgrader generate MODULE`
+2. NBGrader adds metadata to `.ipynb` files (grade_id, points, etc.)
+3. Students work in notebooks (Jupyter, Colab, or Marimo)
+4. Students submit notebooks back
+5. NBGrader reads metadata from submitted `.ipynb` files
+
+## Potential Considerations
+
+### If Students Use Marimo to Edit Notebooks
+
+**Scenario 1: Students open `.ipynb` in Marimo**
+- ✅ Marimo can import Jupyter notebooks
+- ✅ NBGrader metadata preserved (it's in the `.ipynb` file)
+- ✅ Students submit `.ipynb` files back
+- ✅ **No problem** - NBGrader works normally
+
+**Scenario 2: Students convert to Marimo `.py` format**
+- ⚠️ Marimo stores notebooks as `.py` files (not `.ipynb`)
+- ⚠️ NBGrader metadata is in `.ipynb` format
+- ⚠️ Converting to `.py` might lose NBGrader metadata
+- ✅ **Solution**: Students should submit `.ipynb` files, not `.py` files
+
+## Best Practice for Students
+
+**For NBGrader assignments:**
+1. Students can use Marimo to **view and learn** from notebooks
+2. For **submissions**, students should work in `.ipynb` format (Jupyter/Colab)
+3. Or convert marimo `.py` back to `.ipynb` before submitting
+
+**For non-graded exploration:**
+- Students can freely use Marimo's `.py` format
+- Great for learning and experimentation
+- No NBGrader concerns
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Keep Marimo badges** - they're safe:
+- ✅ Don't interfere with NBGrader
+- ✅ Give students more options for learning
+- ✅ Students can use Marimo for exploration
+- ✅ For graded work, students use standard `.ipynb` workflow
+
+**Add to student instructions:**
+- "Marimo badges are for exploration and learning"
+- "For NBGrader assignments, submit `.ipynb` files (not `.py` files)"
+- "Marimo can import `.ipynb` files and preserve NBGrader metadata"
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### NBGrader Metadata Format
+NBGrader stores metadata in notebook cell metadata:
+```json
+{
+  "nbgrader": {
+    "grade": true,
+    "grade_id": "tensor_memory",
+    "points": 2,
+    "schema_version": 3
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Marimo Format
+Marimo stores notebooks as pure Python:
+```python
+# Cell 1
+import numpy as np
+
+# Cell 2  
+def memory_footprint(self):
+    return self.data.nbytes
+```
+
+**Conversion between formats:**
+- `.ipynb` → `.py`: Possible, but NBGrader metadata might be lost
+- `.py` → `.ipynb`: Possible, but NBGrader metadata won't be restored
+
+## Conclusion
+
+✅ **Marimo badges are safe** - they don't break NBGrader
+✅ **Students can use Marimo** for learning and exploration
+✅ **For graded work**, students should use `.ipynb` format
+✅ **No changes needed** to NBGrader workflow
+
+The badges are just convenient links - they don't interfere with the actual grading system!

+# Marimo Setup for TinyTorch - No Extra Setup Required! ✅
+
+## Good News: No Extra Setup Needed!
+
+Marimo integration is now **automatically added** to your site. Here's what was done:
+
+## What Was Added
+
+1. **Marimo Badge JavaScript** (`site/_static/marimo-badges.js`)
+   - Automatically adds "Open in Marimo" badges to notebook pages
+   - Works alongside existing Binder/Colab buttons
+
+2. **JavaScript Integration** 
+   - Added to `site/_config.yml` so it loads on all pages
+   - Automatically detects notebook pages
+   - Creates marimo badges dynamically
+
+## How It Works
+
+When students visit a notebook page:
+1. They see existing launch buttons (Binder, Colab)
+2. **New**: They also see "🍃 Open in Marimo" badge
+3. Clicking opens the notebook in Marimo's cloud service (molab)
+4. No account needed for basic use!
+
+## Marimo URLs
+
+Marimo badges use this format:
+```
+https://marimo.app/molab?repo=mlsysbook/TinyTorch&path=site/chapters/modules/MODULE_NAME.ipynb
+```
+
+**Note**: Marimo can work with `.ipynb` files, but ideally we'd convert to `.py` files for full marimo features.
+
+## Testing
+
+To test marimo integration:
+
+1. **Build the site:**
+   ```bash
+   cd site
+   make html
+   ```
+
+2. **Open a notebook page** (e.g., `_build/html/chapters/modules/01_tensor.html`)
+
+3. **Look for the marimo badge** - should appear below Binder/Colab buttons
+
+4. **Click "Open in Marimo"** - should open in marimo's cloud editor
+
+## Optional: Convert Notebooks to Marimo Format
+
+For full marimo features (reactive execution, etc.), you could:
+
+1. **Convert `.ipynb` to marimo `.py` format:**
+   ```bash
+   # Marimo can import Jupyter notebooks
+   marimo convert notebook.ipynb notebook.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Store marimo versions** in `site/chapters/modules/` as `.py` files
+
+3. **Update marimo URLs** to point to `.py` files instead of `.ipynb`
+
+But this is **optional** - marimo badges work with `.ipynb` files too!
+
+## Current Status
+
+✅ **Marimo badges added** - Will appear on notebook pages  
+✅ **No extra setup needed** - Just build the site  
+✅ **Works with existing notebooks** - Uses `.ipynb` files  
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Build site** to see marimo badges: `cd site && make html`
+2. **Test badges** on notebook pages
+3. **Optional**: Convert notebooks to marimo `.py` format for full features
+
+That's it! Marimo integration is ready to go. 🎉

+
+## ⚠️ Issue Found: Assignments Directory Mismatch
+
+**Current assignments/source/ structure:**
+```
+01_setup    ❌ OUTDATED - Module 01 is now "tensor", not "setup"
+02_tensor   ✅ Correct
+```
+
+**Problem:** The `assignments/source/01_setup/` directory contains an old notebook from when Module 01 was "Setup". Module 01 is now "Tensor" (`modules/01_tensor/`).
+
+## Impact on Binder/Colab
+
+**No impact** - Binder setup doesn't depend on assignment notebooks. The `binder/` configuration:
+- Installs TinyTorch package (`pip install -e .`)
+- Provides JupyterLab environment
+- Students can access any notebooks in the repository
+
+However, for consistency and to avoid confusion:
+- Old `01_setup` assignment should be removed or renamed
+- Documentation references should point to `01_tensor` (already fixed)
+
+## Module Tiers (from site/_toc.yml)
+
+### 🏗️ Foundation Tier (01-07)
+- 01 Tensor

+✅ **Binder setup**: Not affected by assignment structure
+⚠️ **Assignments**: Contains outdated `01_setup` (should be removed)
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Remove old assignment**: Delete `assignments/source/01_setup/` and `assignments/release/01_setup/`

+  - Students get choice
+  - Different platforms have different strengths
+  - Binder: Zero-setup, no account
+  - Colab: GPU access for exploration
+  - Marimo: Modern, educational
+- **Cons**: 
+  - Might be confusing (too many options)
+  - More maintenance
+
+**Option 2: Keep Just Binder** ✅ Recommended
+- **Pros**:
+  - Simplest option (zero-setup, no account)
+  - Works for viewing/exploration
+  - Less confusing for students
+  - Easier maintenance
+- **Cons**:
+  - No GPU access (but not needed for viewing)
+  - No Marimo features (but not needed for viewing)
+
+**Option 3: Keep Binder + One Other**
+- Binder + Colab: Covers zero-setup + GPU exploration
+- Binder + Marimo: Covers zero-setup + modern interface
+
+## Recommendation: Keep Just Binder ✅
+
+**Reasoning:**
+1. **Primary use case**: Viewing/exploration (not actual work)
+2. **Binder is sufficient**: Zero-setup, no account, works for viewing
+3. **Simpler is better**: Less confusion, easier maintenance
+4. **Local is required anyway**: Students need local setup for real work
+
+**What to remove:**
+- Colab launch buttons (students can still use Colab if they want, just not prominently featured)
+- Marimo badges (can add back later if there's demand)
+
+**What to keep:**
+- Binder launch buttons (zero-setup viewing)
+- Clear messaging: "For viewing only - local setup required for full package"
+
+## Alternative: Keep Binder + Colab
+
+If you want GPU access for exploration:
+- **Keep**: Binder (zero-setup) + Colab (GPU exploration)
+- **Remove**: Marimo (newest, least familiar)
+
+## Implementation
+
+If we simplify to just Binder:
+
+1. **Update `site/_config.yml`:**
+   ```yaml
+   launch_buttons:
+     binderhub_url: "https://mybinder.org"
+     # Remove colab_url
+   ```
+
+2. **Remove Marimo JavaScript:**
+   - Remove `marimo-badges.js` from `extra_js`
+   - Or keep it but make it optional
+
+3. **Update documentation:**
+   - Clarify that Binder is for viewing only
+   - Emphasize local setup requirement
+
+## Final Recommendation
+
+**Keep just Binder** because:
+- ✅ Simplest option
+- ✅ Zero-setup (no account needed)
+- ✅ Sufficient for viewing/exploration
+- ✅ Less confusing
+- ✅ Students need local setup anyway for real work
+
+**Optional**: Keep Colab if you want GPU access for exploration, but it's not essential since students need local setup for actual coursework.

+# Online Notebooks vs Local Setup
+
+## Important Distinction
+
+### Online Notebooks (Binder, Colab, Marimo)
+**Purpose**: Viewing, learning, exploration
+
+**What you CAN do:**
+- ✅ View notebook content
+- ✅ Read code and explanations
+- ✅ Run basic code cells
+- ✅ Learn from examples
+
+**What you CANNOT do:**
+- ❌ Import from `tinytorch.*` package (not installed)
+- ❌ Run milestone validation scripts
+- ❌ Use `tito` CLI commands
+- ❌ Execute full experiments
+- ❌ Export modules to package
+- ❌ Complete the full development workflow
+
+### Local Setup (Required)
+**Purpose**: Full package, experiments, milestone validation
+
+**What you CAN do:**
+- ✅ Full `tinytorch.*` package available
+- ✅ Run milestone validation scripts
+- ✅ Use `tito` CLI commands (`tito module complete`, `tito milestone validate`)
+- ✅ Execute complete experiments
+- ✅ Export modules to package
+- ✅ Full development workflow
+
+## When to Use What
+
+### Use Online Notebooks When:
+- 📖 **Learning**: Reading through modules to understand concepts
+- 🔍 **Exploration**: Quick look at code examples
+- 💡 **Inspiration**: Seeing how things work before implementing
+- 🚀 **Quick Start**: Getting familiar with the structure
+
+### Use Local Setup When:
+- 🏗️ **Building**: Actually implementing modules
+- ✅ **Validating**: Running milestone checks
+- 🧪 **Experimenting**: Running full experiments
+- 📦 **Exporting**: Completing modules and exporting to package
+- 🎯 **Serious Work**: Doing the actual coursework
+
+## Setup Instructions
+
+### Local Setup (Required for Full Package)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Clone repository
+git clone https://github.com/mlsysbook/TinyTorch.git
+cd TinyTorch
+
+# 2. Create virtual environment
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# 3. Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# 4. Install TinyTorch package in editable mode
+pip install -e .
+
+# 5. Verify installation
+tito system doctor
+```
+
+Now you have:
+- ✅ Full `tinytorch.*` package available
+- ✅ `tito` CLI commands working
+- ✅ Milestone scripts executable
+- ✅ Complete development environment
+
+## Student Workflow
+
+**Recommended approach:**
+
+1. **Start Online**: Use Binder/Colab/Marimo to explore and understand modules
+2. **Switch to Local**: When ready to build, set up local environment
+3. **Work Locally**: Implement modules, run milestones, use CLI tools
+4. **Submit**: Export and submit `.ipynb` files for grading
+
+## Common Questions
+
+**Q: Can I do everything online?**
+A: No. Online notebooks are for viewing/learning. You need local setup for the full package and experiments.
+
+**Q: Do I need both?**
+A: Not required, but recommended. Use online for learning, local for building.
+
+**Q: Can I use online notebooks for assignments?**
+A: You can view notebooks online, but you'll need local setup to actually complete modules and run milestone validations.
+
+**Q: What if I only have online access?**
+A: You can learn from online notebooks, but you won't be able to complete the full coursework without local installation.
+
+## Summary
+
+- **Online Notebooks**: Great for learning and exploration
+- **Local Setup**: Required for building, validating, and completing modules
+- **Best Practice**: Use online to learn, local to build

+# Binder Environment Setup
+
+This directory contains configuration files for running TinyTorch in cloud environments via [Binder](https://mybinder.org) and [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com).
+
+## Files
+
+- **`requirements.txt`**: Python dependencies for the Binder environment
+- **`postBuild`**: Script that runs after environment setup to install TinyTorch
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Binder
+
+When users click the "Launch Binder" button on any notebook page in the TinyTorch documentation:
+
+1. Binder reads `binder/requirements.txt` to install Python dependencies
+2. Binder runs `binder/postBuild` to install the TinyTorch package (`pip install -e .`)
+3. Users get a fully configured JupyterLab environment with TinyTorch ready to use
+
+**Binder URL Format:**
+```
+https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mlsysbook/TinyTorch/main
+```
+
+### Google Colab
+
+Colab launch buttons automatically:
+1. Clone the repository
+2. Install dependencies from `binder/requirements.txt`
+3. Run setup commands (users may need to manually run `pip install -e .`)
+
+**Colab URL Format:**
+```
+https://colab.research.google.com/github/mlsysbook/TinyTorch/blob/main/path/to/notebook.ipynb
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+To test your Binder setup:
+
+1. **Test Binder Build:**
+   ```bash
+   # Visit: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mlsysbook/TinyTorch/main
+   # Or use the badge:
+   [![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mlsysbook/TinyTorch/main)
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify Installation:**
+   Once Binder launches, test in a notebook:
+   ```python
+   import tinytorch
+   print(tinytorch.__version__)
+   ```
+
+3. **Check Available Resources:**
+   ```python
+   import os
+   print("Modules:", os.listdir("modules"))
+   print("Assignments:", os.listdir("assignments"))
+   print("Milestones:", os.listdir("milestones"))
+   ```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Binder Build Fails
+
+- Check `binder/requirements.txt` for syntax errors
+- Verify `binder/postBuild` has execute permissions (`chmod +x binder/postBuild`)
+- Review Binder build logs at: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mlsysbook/TinyTorch/main?urlpath=lab/tree/logs%2Fbuild.log
+
+### Colab Import Errors
+
+- Ensure `binder/requirements.txt` includes all dependencies
+- Users may need to run: `!pip install -e .` in a Colab cell
+- Check that the repository is public (Colab can't access private repos)
+
+### Package Not Found
+
+- Verify `postBuild` script runs `pip install -e .` correctly
+- Check that `pyproject.toml` is in the repository root
+- Ensure all dependencies in `requirements.txt` are compatible
+
+## Deployment Environments
+
+As documented in the TinyTorch paper, three deployment environments are supported:
+
+1. **JupyterHub** (institutional server)
+   - 8-core/32GB supports ~50 students
+   - Best for classroom use
+
+2. **Google Colab** (zero installation)
+   - Best for MOOCs and self-paced learning
+   - No setup required from students
+
+3. **Local Installation** (`pip install tinytorch`)
+   - Best for self-paced learning and development
+   - Full control over environment
+
+## Keeping Dependencies Updated
+
+When updating dependencies:
+
+1. Update `requirements.txt` (root) - for local development
+2. Update `binder/requirements.txt` - for Binder/Colab
+3. Update `site/requirements.txt` - for documentation builds
+4. Keep versions synchronized where possible

+# Community Integration in Setup Phase
+
+## Revised Vision: Early Community Engagement
+
+Make community participation part of the **initial setup experience**, not something that happens after completing everything. This creates an immediate "I'm part of something bigger" moment.
+
+## Updated User Journey
+
+### Initial Setup Flow
+
+```
+1. Clone & Setup
+   ↓
+2. tito system doctor (verify installation)
+   ✅ All checks passed!
+   ↓
+3. 🎉 "Welcome to TinyTorch!"
+   ↓
+4. [Automatic] tito community join
+   → Detects country
+   → Validates setup
+   → Adds to map
+   → Shows celebration
+   ↓
+5. 🌍 "You're builder #1,234 on the global map!"
+   ↓
+6. View map → See community worldwide
+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Option 1: Automatic After Setup (Recommended)
+
+**After `tito system doctor` passes:**
+
+```
+✅ All checks passed! Your TinyTorch environment is ready.
+
+🎉 Welcome to the TinyTorch Community!
+
+🌍 Join builders from around the world:
+   Run 'tito community join' to add your location to the map
+   (Completely optional - only shares country, not exact location)
+
+💡 This is your "hello world" moment - you've successfully set up TinyTorch!
+```
+
+**After `tito community join`:**
+
+```
+✅ You've joined the TinyTorch Community!
+
+📍 Your Location: United States
+🌍 View the map: https://tinytorch.ai/community
+
+🎖️ You're builder #1,234 on the global map!
+
+📊 Community Stats:
+   • 1,234 builders worldwide
+   • 45 countries represented
+   • 5 new builders this week
+
+💡 Continue building modules and run milestones to track your progress!
+```
+
+### Option 2: Integrated into Setup Script
+
+**In `setup-environment.sh` or `activate.sh`:**
+
+```bash
+# After successful setup
+echo ""
+echo "🎉 Setup complete! Welcome to TinyTorch!"
+echo ""
+echo "🌍 Join the global community:"
+echo "   Run 'tito community join' to add your location to the map"
+echo "   (Optional - only shares country, completely anonymized)"
+echo ""
+```
+
+### Option 3: Part of Quick Start Guide
+
+**Update quickstart guide to include:**
+
+```markdown
+## Step 3: Join the Community (Optional)
+
+After setup, join builders from around the world:
+
+```bash
+tito community join
+```
+
+This adds your location (country only) to the global TinyTorch community map.
+See where other builders are located: https://tinytorch.ai/community
+```
+
+## What Gets Validated
+
+**For community join (setup phase):**
+- ✅ Setup verified (`tito system doctor` passed)
+- ✅ Environment working
+- ✅ Can import TinyTorch
+
+**NOT required:**
+- ❌ All milestones passed (can join anytime)
+- ❌ All modules completed (can join anytime)
+- ❌ Any specific progress (just setup)
+
+**Why this works:**
+- Lower barrier to entry
+- Immediate community feeling
+- Can update later with milestone progress
+- More inclusive (everyone can join)
+
+## Progressive Updates
+
+**Users can update their community entry:**
+
+```bash
+# Initial join (after setup)
+tito community join
+# → Adds: Country, setup verified, timestamp
+
+# Later: Update with milestone progress
+tito community update
+# → Updates: Milestones passed, system type, progress
+# → Same anonymous ID, just more info
+```
+
+## Map Visualization
+
+**The map shows:**
+- **All builders**: Everyone who joined (not just completed)
+- **Progress indicators**: Dots colored by milestone progress
+  - 🟢 All milestones passed
+  - 🟡 Some milestones passed
+  - 🔵 Setup complete (just joined)
+- **Stats**: Total builders, countries, recent activity
+
+**This creates:**
+- Visual proof of global community
+- Shows diversity of progress levels
+- Encourages continued learning
+- Makes everyone feel included
+
+## Implementation Design
+
+### Command: `tito community join`
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Validates setup (`tito system doctor` check)
+2. Detects/asks for country
+3. Generates anonymous ID
+4. Creates submission JSON:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "anonymous_id": "abc123...",
+     "timestamp": "2024-11-20T10:30:00Z",
+     "country": "United States",
+     "setup_verified": true,
+     "milestones_passed": 0,  // Will update later
+     "system_type": "Apple Silicon"
+   }
+   ```
+5. Shows celebration message
+6. Optionally uploads to map
+
+### Command: `tito community update` (Optional)
+
+**What it does:**
+- Updates existing entry with:
+  - Milestones passed count
+  - Progress updates
+  - System type (if changed)
+- Uses same anonymous ID
+- Shows updated stats
+
+## Setup Script Integration
+
+### Update `setup-environment.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# ... existing setup code ...
+
+echo ""
+echo "✅ TinyTorch setup complete!"
+echo ""
+echo "🌍 Join the global TinyTorch community:"
+echo "   Run 'tito community join' to add your location to the map"
+echo "   See builders from around the world: https://tinytorch.ai/community"
+echo ""
+```
+
+### Or in `activate.sh`:
+
+```bash
+# After activation
+if [ "$FIRST_ACTIVATION" = "true" ]; then
+    echo ""
+    echo "🎉 Welcome to TinyTorch!"
+    echo ""
+    echo "🌍 Join the community: 'tito community join'"
+    echo ""
+fi
+```

+# Binder & Colab Verification Guide
+
+This guide helps you verify that Binder and Colab links are working correctly.
+
+## Quick Verification Checklist
+
+- [ ] Binder build completes successfully
+- [ ] TinyTorch package imports correctly in Binder
+- [ ] Colab can clone repository and install dependencies
+- [ ] Launch buttons appear on notebook pages in documentation
+- [ ] All three deployment environments work (JupyterHub, Colab, Local)
+
+## Step-by-Step Verification
+
+### 1. Test Binder Build
+
+**Direct URL Test:**
+```
+https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mlsysbook/TinyTorch/main
+```
+
+**What to check:**
+- Build completes without errors (may take 2-5 minutes first time)

+
+**Test in Binder Notebook:**
+```python
+# Test 1: Import TinyTorch
+import tinytorch
+print(f"TinyTorch version: {tinytorch.__version__}")
+
+# Test 2: Verify modules are accessible
+import os
+assert os.path.exists("modules"), "Modules directory not found"
+assert os.path.exists("assignments"), "Assignments directory not found"
+
+# Test 3: Test basic functionality
+from tinytorch.core import Tensor
+x = Tensor([1, 2, 3])
+print(f"Tensor created: {x}")
+```
+
+### 2. Test Colab Integration
+
+**For a specific notebook:**
+```
+https://colab.research.google.com/github/mlsysbook/TinyTorch/blob/main/assignments/source/02_tensor/02_tensor.ipynb
+```
+
+**What to check:**
+- Notebook opens in Colab
+- Can run cells without errors
+- Dependencies install correctly
+
+**Colab Setup Cell (add to notebooks if needed):**
+```python
+# Install TinyTorch
+!pip install -e /content/TinyTorch
+
+# Verify installation
+import tinytorch
+print("TinyTorch installed successfully!")
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Launch Buttons in Documentation
+
+**Check that launch buttons appear:**
+1. Build the site: `cd site && jupyter-book build .`
+2. Open `_build/html/index.html` in browser
+3. Navigate to any page with notebooks
+4. Look for "Launch" buttons in the top-right corner
+
+**Expected buttons:**
+- 🚀 Launch Binder
+- 🔵 Open in Colab
+- 📥 Download notebook
+
+### 4. Test All Three Deployment Environments
+
+As documented in `paper/paper.tex`, TinyTorch supports:
+
+#### A. JupyterHub (Institutional)
+- Requires: 8-core/32GB server
+- Supports: ~50 concurrent students
+- Setup: Install via `pip install tinytorch` or mount repository
+
+#### B. Google Colab (Zero Installation)
+- Best for: MOOCs and self-paced learning
+- Setup: Automatic via launch buttons
+- Verify: Test with sample notebooks
+
+#### C. Local Installation
+- Best for: Self-paced learning and development
+- Setup: `pip install tinytorch`
+- Verify: Run `python -c "import tinytorch; print(tinytorch.__version__)"`
+
+## Common Issues & Solutions
+
+### Issue: Binder build times out
+
+**Solution:**
+- Check `binder/requirements.txt` for unnecessary heavy dependencies
+- Ensure `postBuild` script is fast (< 2 minutes)
+- Consider using `environment.yml` instead if you need conda packages
+
+### Issue: "Module not found" errors in Binder
+
+**Solution:**
+- Verify `postBuild` script runs `pip install -e .`
+- Check that `pyproject.toml` is in repository root
+- Ensure all dependencies are in `binder/requirements.txt`
+
+### Issue: Colab can't access repository
+
+**Solution:**
+- Ensure repository is public (Colab can't access private repos)
+- Check that notebook path is correct in URL
+- Verify GitHub repository URL in `site/_config.yml`
+
+### Issue: Launch buttons don't appear
+
+**Solution:**
+- Verify `launch_buttons` configuration in `site/_config.yml`
+- Ensure repository URL and branch are correct
+- Rebuild the site: `jupyter-book build . --all`
+
+## Automated Testing
+
+You can add a GitHub Actions workflow to test Binder builds:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/test-binder.yml
+name: Test Binder Build
+
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 0 * * 0'  # Weekly
+  workflow_dispatch:
+
+jobs:
+  test-binder:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+      - name: Test Binder Build
+        uses: jupyterhub/repo2docker-action@master
+        with:
+          image-name: tinytorch-binder-test
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+**Binder Status:**
+- Check build status: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mlsysbook/TinyTorch/main

+# Baseline & Submission Design: What Makes Sense
+
+## User Concern
+
+**Question**: For baseline and submitting, what makes sense? Worried that running everything can take a while.
+
+## Current Design
+
+### Baseline Benchmark (`tito benchmark baseline`)
+
+**What it does**:
+- Quick operations (tensor ops, matmul, forward pass)
+- **Time**: ~1 second
+- **Purpose**: Setup validation, environment check
+- **Normalized**: SPEC-style to reference system
+
+**Current Implementation**:
+```python
+# Quick operations only
+- Tensor operations: ~0.8ms
+- Matrix multiply: ~2.5ms  
+- Forward pass: ~6.7ms
+Total: ~10ms (normalized to reference)
+```
+
+### Milestones
+
+**What they do**:
+- Full ML workflows (training, evaluation)
+- **Time**: Minutes (3-30 minutes per milestone)
+- **Purpose**: Historical recreations, student validation
+- **Requires**: Completed modules (student code)
+
+## Recommendation: Keep Baseline Quick, Milestones Optional
+
+### ✅ Baseline at Setup (Fast)
+
+**Keep current approach**:
+- ✅ Quick benchmark (~1 second)
+- ✅ Validates environment works
+- ✅ Normalized to reference system
+- ✅ Good for "Hello World" moment
+- ✅ Submit to community immediately
+
+**Why this works**:
+- Fast setup validation
+- Doesn't require student code
+- Meaningful baseline (normalized)
+- Community submission ready
+
+### ⚠️ Milestones Later (Optional)
+
+**Run milestones as students complete modules**:
+- ⚠️ Takes minutes (not seconds)
+- ⚠️ Requires completed modules
+- ⚠️ Optional for community submission
+- ✅ Better for student validation
+
+**Why milestones shouldn't be at setup**:
+- Too slow (minutes vs seconds)
+- Requires student code (doesn't exist yet)
+- Better for progressive validation
+
+## Submission Strategy
+
+### Setup Phase: Baseline Only
+
+**What to submit**:
+- ✅ Baseline benchmark results (normalized)
+- ✅ System info (country, institution, etc.)
+- ✅ Reference implementation results
+
+**Why**:
+- Fast (1 second)
+- Meaningful (normalized to reference)
+- Works immediately (no student code needed)
+
+### Later Phase: Milestones Optional
+
+**What to submit (optional)**:
+- ⚠️ Milestone results (as students complete modules)
+- ⚠️ Student code performance vs reference
+- ⚠️ Progress tracking
+
+**Why optional**:
+- Takes time (minutes per milestone)
+- Requires completed modules
+- Better for personal tracking than community
+
+## Final Recommendation
+
+**✅ Keep baseline quick** (current approach is correct):
+- Fast setup validation (~1 second)
+- Submit baseline to community
+- Normalized to reference system
+
+**✅ Milestones stay separate**:
+- Run as students complete modules
+- Optional for community submission
+- Better for personal progress tracking
+
+**Result**:
+- Setup is fast (1 second baseline)
+- Community gets meaningful data (normalized baseline)
+- Students can optionally submit milestones later
+- No time concerns at setup
+
+## Implementation
+
+**Current `tito benchmark baseline`**:
+- ✅ Already fast (~1 second)
+- ✅ Already normalized
+- ✅ Already prompts for submission
+- ✅ Perfect for setup phase
+
+**No changes needed!** Current design is correct.

+# Benchmark Normalization - SPEC-Style Reference System
+
+## Overview
+
+TinyTorch baseline benchmarks use **SPEC-style normalization** to ensure fair comparison across different hardware. Results are normalized to a reference system, making scores comparable regardless of your hardware.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Reference System
+
+**Reference Hardware:**
+- CPU: Intel i5-8th generation
+- RAM: 16GB
+- Platform: Mid-range laptop
+
+**Reference Times:**
+- Tensor Operations: 0.8ms
+- Matrix Multiply: 2.5ms
+- Forward Pass: 6.7ms
+- **Total: 10.0ms**
+
+### Normalization Formula
+
+**SPEC-style normalization:**
+```
+normalized_score = reference_time / actual_time
+```
+
+**Score Calculation:**
+```
+score = min(100, 100 * normalized_score)
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+**Fast System (M3 Mac):**
+- Actual time: 5.0ms
+- Normalized: 10.0 / 5.0 = 2.0x
+- Score: min(100, 100 * 2.0) = **100** (capped at 100)
+
+**Reference System:**
+- Actual time: 10.0ms
+- Normalized: 10.0 / 10.0 = 1.0x
+- Score: min(100, 100 * 1.0) = **100**
+
+**Slower System (Older Laptop):**
+- Actual time: 20.0ms
+- Normalized: 10.0 / 20.0 = 0.5x
+- Score: min(100, 100 * 0.5) = **50**
+
+## Why Normalization Matters
+
+### Without Normalization
+- Fast hardware gets high scores unfairly
+- Slow hardware gets low scores unfairly
+- Can't compare optimization skill across systems
+
+### With Normalization
+- ✅ Scores are comparable across hardware
+- ✅ Focus on optimization skill, not hardware
+- ✅ Fair comparison (like SPEC benchmarks)
+
+## Score Interpretation
+
+**Score Range:**
+- **100**: Reference system performance or better
+- **80-99**: Slightly slower than reference
+- **60-79**: Moderately slower than reference
+- **40-59**: Significantly slower than reference
+- **<40**: Very slow (may indicate setup issues)
+
+**Normalized Multiplier:**
+- **>1.0x**: Faster than reference system
+- **1.0x**: Same as reference system
+- **<1.0x**: Slower than reference system
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Reference Times Selection
+
+Reference times are based on:
+- Mid-range consumer hardware (common student setup)
+- Conservative estimates (most systems should meet or exceed)
+- Real-world performance expectations
+
+### Score Capping
+
+Scores are capped at 100 to:
+- Prevent unfair advantage for very fast hardware
+- Keep focus on "setup validation" not "hardware competition"
+- Maintain educational focus
+
+### Future Adjustments
+
+Reference times can be updated if:
+- Hardware landscape changes significantly
+- Better baseline data becomes available
+- Community feedback suggests adjustment needed
+
+## Comparison to SPEC
+
+**Similarities:**
+- ✅ Normalize to reference system
+- ✅ Hardware-independent scores
+- ✅ Fair comparison across systems
+
+**Differences:**
+- SPEC: Multiple benchmarks, complex scoring
+- TinyTorch: Simple baseline validation, educational focus
+- SPEC: Competitive benchmarking
+- TinyTorch: Setup validation and learning
+
+## Implementation
+
+Reference times are defined in `tito/commands/benchmark.py`:
+
+```python
+def _get_reference_times(self) -> Dict[str, float]:
+    """Get reference times for normalization (SPEC-style)."""
+    return {
+        "tensor_ops": 0.8,
+        "matmul": 2.5,
+        "forward_pass": 6.7,
+        "total": 10.0
+    }
+```
+
+Normalization happens automatically in `_run_baseline()`.
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Fair Comparison**: Scores mean the same thing on any hardware
+2. **Educational Focus**: Emphasizes setup validation, not hardware
+3. **Industry Standard**: Follows SPEC/MLPerf normalization principles
+4. **Motivation**: Students can achieve good scores regardless of hardware

+# Community & Benchmark Commands - Implementation Document
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the implementation of community and benchmark commands for TinyTorch, an educational ML systems framework. The goal is to create a "Hello World" user journey where students feel part of a global cohort after completing setup and initial milestones.
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+**Educational Focus**: TinyTorch is an educational framework. Community features should:
+- Encourage learning and progress, not competition
+- Create cohort feeling (students see peers, not rankings)
+- Be privacy-friendly (all data optional, anonymous IDs)
+- Work locally first, sync to website later
+
+**Local-First Approach**: 
+- All data stored project-locally in `.tinytorch/` directory
+- Website integration via stubs (ready for future API)
+- No external dependencies required for core functionality
+
+## Implementation
+
+### 1. Benchmark Commands (`tito benchmark`)
+
+#### Baseline Benchmark (`tito benchmark baseline`)
+**Purpose**: Quick setup validation - "Hello World" moment
+
+**What it does**:
+- Runs lightweight benchmarks (tensor ops, matrix multiply, forward pass)
+- Calculates score (0-100) based on performance
+- Saves results to `.tito/benchmarks/baseline_TIMESTAMP.json`
+- Auto-prompts for submission after completion
+
+**When to run**: After setup, anytime
+
+**Output Example**:
+```
+🎯 Baseline Benchmark
+
+📊 Your Baseline Performance:
+   • Tensor Operations: ⚡ 0.5ms
+   • Matrix Multiply: ⚡ 2.3ms
+   • Forward Pass: ⚡ 5.2ms
+   • Score: 85/100
+
+✅ Setup verified and working!
+```
+
+#### Capstone Benchmark (`tito benchmark capstone`)
+**Purpose**: Full performance evaluation after Module 20
+
+**What it does**:
+- Runs full benchmark suite from Module 20
+- Supports tracks: speed, compression, accuracy, efficiency, all
+- Uses Module 19's Benchmark class (when available)
+- Falls back gracefully if Module 20 not complete
+- Auto-prompts for submission after completion
+
+**When to run**: After Module 20 (Capstone)
+
+**Output Example**:
+```
+🏆 Capstone Benchmark Results
+
+📊 Speed Track:
+   • Latency: 45.2ms
+   • Throughput: 22.1 ops/sec
+   • Score: 92/100
+
+📊 Overall Score: 90/100
+```
+
+### 2. Community Commands (`tito community`)
+
+#### Join (`tito community join`)
+**Purpose**: Join the global TinyTorch community
+
+**What it does**:
+- Collects: country, institution, course type, experience level (all optional)
+- Generates anonymous UUID
+- Auto-detects cohort (Fall 2024, Spring 2025, etc.)
+- Saves profile to `.tinytorch/community/profile.json`
+- Shows welcome message with cohort info
+
+**Privacy**: All fields optional, anonymous IDs, local storage
+
+#### Update (`tito community update`)
+**Purpose**: Update community profile
+
+**What it does**:
+- Updates profile fields (country, institution, course type, experience)
+- Auto-updates progress from `.tito/milestones.json` and `.tito/progress.json`
+- Interactive or command-line updates
+
+#### Leave (`tito community leave`)
+**Purpose**: Remove community profile
+
+**What it does**:
+- Removes profile file
+- Confirmation prompt (can skip with `--force`)
+- Preserves benchmark submissions
+
+#### Stats & Profile (`tito community stats`, `tito community profile`)
+**Purpose**: View community information
+
+**What it does**:
+- Shows community statistics
+- Displays full profile in table format
+- Shows progress: milestones, modules, capstone score
+
+## Data Storage
+
+### Project-Local Storage (`.tinytorch/`)
+
+All data stored in project root, not home directory:
+
+```
+.tinytorch/
+├── config.json          # Configuration (website URLs, settings)
+├── community/
+│   └── profile.json     # User's community profile
+└── submissions/         # Benchmark submissions (ready for website)
+```
+
+### Profile Structure (`profile.json`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "anonymous_id": "uuid",
+  "joined_at": "2024-11-20T10:30:00",
+  "location": {
+    "country": "United States"
+  },
+  "institution": {
+    "name": "Harvard University",
+    "type": null
+  },
+  "context": {
+    "course_type": "university",
+    "experience_level": "intermediate",
+    "cohort": "Fall 2024"
+  },
+  "progress": {
+    "setup_verified": false,
+    "milestones_passed": 0,
+    "modules_completed": 0,
+    "capstone_score": null
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration (`config.json`)
+
+```json
+{
+  "website": {
+    "base_url": "https://tinytorch.ai",
+    "community_map_url": "https://tinytorch.ai/community",
+    "api_url": null,
+    "enabled": false
+  },
+  "local": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "auto_sync": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Website Integration Stubs
+
+All commands have stubs for future website integration:
+
+### Join Notification
+```python
+def _notify_website_join(self, profile: Dict[str, Any]) -> None:
+    """Stub: Notify website when user joins."""
+    config = self._get_config()
+    if not config.get("website", {}).get("enabled", False):
+        return
+    
+    api_url = config.get("website", {}).get("api_url")
+    if api_url:
+        # TODO: Implement API call when website is ready
+        # import requests
+        # response = requests.post(f"{api_url}/api/community/join", json=profile)
+        pass
+```
+
+### Leave Notification
+```python
+def _notify_website_leave(self, anonymous_id: Optional[str]) -> None:
+    """Stub: Notify website when user leaves."""
+    # Similar structure
+```
+
+### Benchmark Submission
+```python
+def _submit_to_website(self, submission: Dict[str, Any]) -> None:
+    """Stub: Submit benchmark results to website."""
+    # Similar structure
+```
+
+**Current Behavior**: Stubs check configuration. If website integration disabled (default), commands work purely locally. When enabled, stubs will make API calls.
+
+## User Journey
+
+### 1. Setup & Join
+```bash
+# After setup
+tito community join
+# → Collects info, saves profile, shows welcome
+
+# Run baseline benchmark
+tito benchmark baseline
+# → Runs benchmarks, shows results, prompts for submission
+```
+
+### 2. Progress Updates
+```bash
+# Update profile
+tito community update
+# → Updates fields, auto-updates progress
+
+# View profile
+tito community profile
+# → Shows full profile with progress
+```
+
+### 3. Capstone Completion
+```bash
+# After Module 20
+tito benchmark capstone
+# → Runs full benchmarks, prompts for submission
+```
+

+# Community Configuration Setup
+
+## Storage Location
+
+All community data is stored **project-locally** in `.tinytorch/` directory (not in home directory):
+
+```
+.tinytorch/
+├── config.json          # Configuration (website URLs, settings)
+├── community/
+│   └── profile.json     # User's community profile
+└── submissions/         # Benchmark submissions (ready for website)
+```
+
+## Configuration File (`.tinytorch/config.json`)
+
+The configuration file is automatically created on first use with these defaults:
+
+```json
+{
+  "website": {
+    "base_url": "https://tinytorch.ai",
+    "community_map_url": "https://tinytorch.ai/community",
+    "api_url": null,
+    "enabled": false
+  },
+  "local": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "auto_sync": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration Fields
+
+**Website Settings:**
+- `base_url`: Base URL for TinyTorch website
+- `community_map_url`: URL to community map page
+- `api_url`: API endpoint URL (set when API is ready)
+- `enabled`: Enable website integration (set to `true` when ready)
+
+**Local Settings:**
+- `enabled`: Always `true` - local storage is always enabled
+- `auto_sync`: Auto-sync to website when enabled (future feature)
+
+## Website Integration Stubs
+
+All commands have stubs for website integration that are currently disabled:
+
+### Join Command
+```python
+def _notify_website_join(self, profile: Dict[str, Any]) -> None:
+    """Stub: Notify website when user joins."""
+    config = self._get_config()
+    if not config.get("website", {}).get("enabled", False):
+        return
+    
+    api_url = config.get("website", {}).get("api_url")
+    if api_url:
+        # TODO: Implement API call when website is ready
+        # import requests
+        # response = requests.post(f"{api_url}/api/community/join", json=profile)
+        pass
+```
+
+### Leave Command
+```python
+def _notify_website_leave(self, anonymous_id: Optional[str]) -> None:
+    """Stub: Notify website when user leaves."""
+    # Similar structure to join
+```
+
+### Benchmark Submission
+```python
+def _submit_to_website(self, submission: Dict[str, Any]) -> None:
+    """Stub: Submit benchmark results to website."""
+    # Similar structure
+```
+
+## Enabling Website Integration
+
+When the website API is ready:
+
+1. **Update configuration:**
+   ```json
+   {
+     "website": {
+       "api_url": "https://api.tinytorch.ai",
+       "enabled": true
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Implement API calls:**
+   - Uncomment TODO sections in `community.py` and `benchmark.py`
+   - Add `requests` dependency if needed
+   - Implement error handling
+
+3. **Test integration:**
+   - Test join/leave notifications
+   - Test benchmark submission
+   - Verify data sync
+
+## Current Behavior (Local-Only)
+
+**All commands work locally:**
+- ✅ `tito community join` - Saves profile to `.tinytorch/community/profile.json`
+- ✅ `tito community update` - Updates local profile
+- ✅ `tito community leave` - Removes local profile
+- ✅ `tito benchmark baseline` - Saves to `.tito/benchmarks/`
+- ✅ `tito benchmark capstone` - Saves to `.tito/benchmarks/`
+
+**Website stubs are present but disabled:**
+- Stubs call `_get_config()` to check if website is enabled
+- If disabled (default), commands work purely locally
+- When enabled, stubs will make API calls
+
+## Benefits of Project-Local Storage
+
+1. **Version Control Friendly**: `.tinytorch/` can be gitignored or committed
+2. **Project-Specific**: Each TinyTorch project has its own community profile
+3. **Portable**: Easy to move/share projects with their data
+4. **Privacy**: Data stays in project, not in home directory
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+If you had data in `~/.tinytorch/`, you can migrate:
+
+```bash
+# Copy old data to new location
+cp -r ~/.tinytorch/community .tinytorch/
+cp ~/.tinytorch/config.json .tinytorch/config.json  # if exists
+```
+
+The new system will automatically use `.tinytorch/` in the project root.

+# Expert Analysis: Setup Validation Approach
+
+## Research Summary
+
+Based on research into MLPerf, SPEC benchmarks, and educational ML frameworks, here's expert-informed analysis.
+
+**Final Decision**: Keep current baseline approach (fast, ~1 second) rather than milestone-based validation. See `BASELINE_SUBMISSION_DESIGN.md` for final design.
+
+## Key Findings
+
+### 1. MLPerf Approach: Reference Implementation Required
+
+**MLPerf Practice**:
+- ✅ **Reference implementations are standard** - everyone runs same reference code
+- ✅ **Baseline measurements** - establish reference performance first
+- ✅ **Normalized comparison** - results normalized to reference system
+- ✅ **Comprehensive validation** - full workflow testing, not just basic ops
+
+**Key Insight**: MLPerf requires reference implementations for fair comparison. This supports your original vision!
+
+### 2. SPEC Approach: Reference System Normalization
+
+**SPEC Practice**:
+- ✅ **Reference system defined** - specific hardware configuration
+- ✅ **Normalized scores** - all results normalized to reference
+- ✅ **Comprehensive benchmarks** - full application workloads
+- ✅ **Baseline establishment** - reference performance is baseline
+
+**Key Insight**: SPEC uses comprehensive benchmarks normalized to reference. This aligns with milestone approach!
+
+### 3. Educational Framework Best Practices
+
+**Research Findings**:
+- ✅ **Milestone-based validation** - recognized best practice for educational platforms
+- ✅ **Progressive validation** - validate at each stage, not just setup
+- ✅ **Clear expectations** - students see what they're working toward
+- ✅ **Reference comparisons** - compare student work to reference implementations
+
+**Key Insight**: Educational frameworks use milestone-based validation with reference comparisons!
+
+## Expert Recommendations
+
+### ✅ Milestone-Based Validation is Appropriate
+
+**Why**:
+1. **Industry Standard**: MLPerf and SPEC use comprehensive benchmarks
+2. **Educational Best Practice**: Milestone validation is recognized approach
+3. **Better Baseline**: Real milestone results more meaningful than basic ops
+4. **Fair Comparison**: Reference implementation ensures fairness
+
+### ✅ Reference Fallback is Standard Practice
+
+**Why**:
+1. **MLPerf Does This**: Reference implementations are standard
+2. **Educational Tools Do This**: Compare student code to reference
+3. **Fair Comparison**: Everyone runs same reference code
+4. **Progressive Validation**: Students compare their code to reference
+
+### ⚠️ Implementation Considerations
+
+**Best Practices**:
+1. **Clear Labeling**: Mark results as "reference" vs "student"
+2. **Normalization**: Normalize to reference system (SPEC-style)
+3. **Progressive**: Run milestones as students complete modules
+4. **Transparency**: Show what's reference vs student code
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**✅ Your Original Vision is Correct!**
+
+**Milestone-based setup validation with reference fallback**:
+- ✅ Aligns with MLPerf/SPEC practices
+- ✅ Follows educational framework best practices
+- ✅ Creates better student experience
+- ✅ Provides meaningful baseline results
+
+**Implementation**:
+1. Add reference fallback to milestones (PyTorch if `tinytorch.*` fails)
+2. Run milestones at setup with reference implementation
+3. Generate normalized baseline results
+4. Students later run with THEIR code and compare
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**Expert consensus**: Milestone-based validation with reference fallback is the right approach for educational ML frameworks. It aligns with industry standards (MLPerf, SPEC) and educational best practices.
+
+**Your original idea was correct!** The challenge is implementation, not concept.

+# Expert Feedback Request: Community & Benchmark Features
+
+**TinyTorch** - Educational ML Systems Framework
+
+We're building community and benchmark features for TinyTorch, an educational framework where students build ML components from scratch. Seeking feedback from TensorFlow/PyTorch community experts and educational ML framework developers.
+
+## Context
+
+We're building **TinyTorch**, an educational ML systems framework where students build ML components from scratch (tensors, autograd, optimizers, CNNs, transformers, etc.). We're implementing community and benchmark features to create a "Hello World" user journey where students feel part of a global cohort.
+
+**Key Question**: Is our design approach appropriate for an educational framework? What would you recommend?
+
+## Our Design
+
+### 1. Storage Approach
+- **Project-local storage** (`.tinytorch/` in project root, not `~/.tinytorch/`)
+- Rationale: Version control friendly, project-specific, portable
+- **Question**: Is this the right approach? Should we use home directory instead?
+
+### 2. Privacy Model
+- **Anonymous UUIDs** for all users
+- **All fields optional** (country, institution, course type, experience)
+- **Local-first**: Data stored locally, website sync opt-in
+- **Question**: Is this privacy model appropriate for students? Any concerns?
+
+### 3. Community Features
+- **Join/Leave/Update** commands for community profile
+- **Cohort identification** (Fall 2024, Spring 2025, institution-based)
+- **Progress tracking** (milestones, modules, capstone score)
+- **No rankings** (educational focus, not competitive)
+- **Question**: Does this support learning without unhealthy competition? Missing features?
+
+### 4. Benchmark Commands
+- **Baseline benchmark**: Quick setup validation ("Hello World" moment)
+- **Capstone benchmark**: Full performance evaluation after Module 20
+- **Auto-submit prompt**: After benchmarks, asks if user wants to submit
+- **Question**: Are these benchmark types appropriate? Should we add more?
+
+### 5. Website Integration
+- **Stubs for future API**: Commands work locally, ready for website sync
+- **Configuration-based**: Enable/disable website integration via config
+- **Question**: Is this stub pattern correct? Better approaches?
+
+## Specific Questions
+
+### For TensorFlow/PyTorch Community Experts
+
+1. **Storage Location**: 
+   - We use project-local `.tinytorch/` directory. Is this appropriate for an educational framework?
+   - Should we consider home directory (`~/.tinytorch/`) instead?
+   - What do TensorFlow/PyTorch educational tools use?
+
+2. **Privacy & Data Collection**:
+   - We collect: country, institution, course type, experience level (all optional)
+   - Anonymous UUIDs, no personal names
+   - Is this appropriate for students? Any privacy concerns?
+   - What data should we collect/avoid?
+
+3. **Community Design**:
+   - Focus on cohort feeling, not competition
+   - No rankings, just progress tracking
+   - Is this the right approach for education?
+   - Should we add competitive features (opt-in)?
+
+4. **Benchmark Design**:
+   - Baseline (setup validation) + Capstone (full evaluation)
+   - Should we add more benchmark types?
+   - How should we handle different hardware/performance?
+
+5. **Website Integration**:
+   - Local-first with stubs for future API
+   - Is this pattern correct?
+   - Should we use a different approach?
+
+6. **Scalability**:
+   - Will this design scale to thousands of students?
+   - What bottlenecks should we anticipate?
+   - Should we plan for distributed storage?
+
+7. **Educational Best Practices**:
+   - What features encourage learning without creating unhealthy competition?
+   - Should we add peer connections, study groups, mentorship?
+   - What features do successful educational ML frameworks have?
+
+8. **Integration Points**:
+   - Should we integrate with GitHub, LMS, or other systems?

+# Expert Opinion Request: Setup Validation Approach
+
+## Question for ML Systems Experts
+
+**Context**: We're building TinyTorch, an educational ML framework where students build ML components from scratch (tensors, autograd, optimizers, CNNs, transformers, etc.).
+
+**Decision Point**: How should we validate setup and create baseline results?
+
+## Two Approaches
+
+### Approach 1: Quick Baseline Benchmark (Current)
+
+**What**: Run lightweight benchmarks (tensor ops, matrix multiply, forward pass) - ~1 second
+
+**Pros**:
+- ✅ Fast setup validation
+- ✅ Doesn't require student code
+- ✅ Normalized to reference system (SPEC-style)
+- ✅ Simple and reliable
+
+**Cons**:
+- ❌ Limited validation (just basic ops)
+- ❌ Not comprehensive
+- ❌ Doesn't test full ML workflows
+
+### Approach 2: Milestone-Based Validation (Proposed)
+
+**What**: Run full milestone scripts with reference implementation fallback (PyTorch if `tinytorch.*` unavailable)
+
+**Pros**:
+- ✅ Comprehensive validation (full ML workflows)
+- ✅ Meaningful baseline results (real milestone performance)
+- ✅ Better "Hello World" moment (students see what they'll build)
+- ✅ Fair comparison (everyone runs same reference)
+
+**Cons**:
+- ⚠️ More complex (requires fallback logic)
+- ⚠️ Takes longer (minutes vs seconds)
+- ⚠️ Requires modifying milestones
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+**Reference Fallback Approach**:
+```python
+# In milestone scripts
+try:
+    from tinytorch import Tensor, Linear, ReLU
+    implementation = "student"
+except ImportError:
+    import torch
+    Tensor = torch.Tensor
+    Linear = torch.nn.Linear
+    ReLU = torch.nn.ReLU
+    implementation = "reference"
+```
+
+**Results**:
+- Setup: "Reference baseline: 95% accuracy"
+- Later: "Your code: 92% accuracy (vs reference: 95%)"
+
+## Questions for Experts
+
+1. **Setup Validation**: Should setup validation be quick (basic ops) or comprehensive (full workflows)?
+
+2. **Reference Implementation**: Is it appropriate to use PyTorch as reference fallback in educational frameworks?
+
+3. **Baseline Results**: Should baseline be environment-only or framework-level (milestone results)?
+
+4. **Student Experience**: What creates better "Hello World" moment - quick validation or seeing real results?
+
+5. **Best Practices**: What do successful educational ML frameworks (Fast.ai, PyTorch Lightning tutorials) do?
+
+6. **Normalization**: Should we normalize milestone results to reference system (like SPEC)?
+
+7. **Complexity Trade-off**: Is added complexity worth comprehensive validation?
+
+## Our Context
+
+- **Educational Focus**: Students build everything from scratch
+- **20 Modules**: Progressive complexity (tensors → transformers)
+- **6 Milestones**: Historical recreations (1957-2018)
+- **Community Goal**: Students feel part of global cohort
+
+## What We're Seeking
+
+**Expert opinion on**:
+- Which approach is better for educational frameworks?
+- Is reference fallback appropriate?
+- Should setup be quick or comprehensive?
+- What creates best student experience?
+
+**Recommendations on**:
+- Best practices from industry (MLPerf, SPEC)
+- What successful educational frameworks do
+- How to balance simplicity vs comprehensiveness
+
+## Contact
+
+We'd love feedback from:
+- MLPerf/SPEC benchmark experts
+- Educational ML framework developers
+- ML systems engineers with educational experience

+# 👩‍🏫 TinyTorch Instructor Guide
+
+Complete guide for teaching ML Systems Engineering with TinyTorch.
+
+## 🎯 Course Overview
+
+TinyTorch teaches ML systems engineering through building, not just using. Students construct a complete ML framework from tensors to transformers, understanding memory, performance, and scaling at each step.
+
+## 🛠️ Instructor Setup
+
+### **1. Initial Setup**
+```bash
+# Clone and setup
+git clone https://github.com/MLSysBook/TinyTorch.git
+cd TinyTorch
+
+# Virtual environment (MANDATORY)
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install with instructor tools
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install nbgrader
+
+# Setup grading infrastructure
+tito grade setup
+```
+
+### **2. Verify Installation**
+```bash
+tito system doctor
+# Should show all green checkmarks
+
+tito grade
+# Should show available grade commands
+```
+
+## 📝 Assignment Workflow
+
+### **Simplified with Tito CLI**
+We've wrapped NBGrader behind simple `tito grade` commands so you don't need to learn NBGrader's complex interface.
+
+### **1. Prepare Assignments**
+```bash
+# Generate instructor version (with solutions)
+tito grade generate 01_tensor
+
+# Create student version (solutions removed)
+tito grade release 01_tensor
+
+# Student version will be in: release/tinytorch/01_tensor/
+```
+
+### **2. Distribute to Students**
+```bash
+# Option A: GitHub Classroom (recommended)
+# 1. Create assignment repository from TinyTorch
+# 2. Remove solutions from modules
+# 3. Students clone and work
+
+# Option B: Direct distribution
+# Share the release/ directory contents
+```
+
+### **3. Collect Submissions**
+```bash
+# Collect all students
+tito grade collect 01_tensor
+
+# Or specific student
+tito grade collect 01_tensor --student student_id
+```
+
+### **4. Auto-Grade**
+```bash
+# Grade all submissions
+tito grade autograde 01_tensor
+
+# Grade specific student
+tito grade autograde 01_tensor --student student_id
+```
+
+### **5. Manual Review**
+```bash
+# Open grading interface (browser-based)
+tito grade manual 01_tensor
+
+# This launches a web interface for:
+# - Reviewing ML Systems question responses
+# - Adding feedback comments
+# - Adjusting auto-grades
+```
+
+### **6. Generate Feedback**
+```bash
+# Create feedback files for students
+tito grade feedback 01_tensor
+```
+
+### **7. Export Grades**
+```bash
+# Export all grades to CSV
+tito grade export
+
+# Or specific module
+tito grade export --module 01_tensor --output grades_module01.csv
+```
+
+## 📊 Grading Components
+
+### **Auto-Graded (70%)**
+- Code implementation correctness
+- Test passing
+- Function signatures
+- Output validation
+
+### **Manually Graded (30%)**
+- ML Systems Thinking questions (3 per module)
+- Each question: 10 points
+- Focus on understanding, not perfection
+
+### **Grading Rubric for ML Systems Questions**
+
+| Points | Criteria |
+|--------|----------|
+| 9-10 | Demonstrates deep understanding, references specific code, discusses systems implications |
+| 7-8 | Good understanding, some code references, basic systems thinking |
+| 5-6 | Surface understanding, generic response, limited systems perspective |
+| 3-4 | Attempted but misses key concepts |
+| 0-2 | No attempt or completely off-topic |
+
+**What to Look For:**
+- References to actual implemented code
+- Memory/performance analysis
+- Scaling considerations
+- Production system comparisons
+- Understanding of trade-offs
+
+## 📋 Sample Solutions for Grading Calibration
+
+This section provides sample solutions to help calibrate grading standards. Use these as reference points when evaluating student submissions.
+
+### Module 01: Tensor - Memory Footprint
+
+**Excellent Solution (9-10 points)**:
+```python
+def memory_footprint(self):
+    """Calculate tensor memory in bytes."""
+    return self.data.nbytes
+```
+**Why Excellent**: 
+- Concise and correct
+- Uses NumPy's built-in `nbytes` property
+- Clear docstring
+- Handles all tensor shapes correctly
+
+**Good Solution (7-8 points)**:
+```python
+def memory_footprint(self):
+    """Calculate memory usage."""
+    return np.prod(self.data.shape) * self.data.dtype.itemsize
+```
+**Why Good**: 
+- Correct implementation
+- Manually calculates (shows understanding)
+- Works but less efficient than using `nbytes`
+- Minor: docstring could be more specific
+
+**Acceptable Solution (5-6 points)**:
+```python
+def memory_footprint(self):
+    size = 1
+    for dim in self.data.shape:
+        size *= dim
+    return size * 4  # Assumes float32
+```
+**Why Acceptable**: 
+- Correct logic but hardcoded dtype size
+- Works for float32 but fails for other dtypes
+- Shows understanding of memory calculation
+- Missing proper dtype handling
+
+### Module 05: Autograd - Backward Pass
+
+**Excellent Solution (9-10 points)**:
+```python

+**Why Excellent**:
+- Handles both scalar and tensor gradients
+- Properly checks `requires_grad` before propagating
+- Handles tuple returns from grad_fn
+- Clear variable names and structure
+
+**Good Solution (7-8 points)**:
+```python
+def backward(self, gradient=None):

+        for inp, grad in zip(self.grad_fn.inputs, grads):
+            inp.backward(grad)
+```
+**Why Good**:
+- Correct logic
+- Missing `requires_grad` check (minor issue)
+- Assumes grads is always iterable (may fail for single input)
+- Works for most cases but less robust
+
+**Acceptable Solution (5-6 points)**:
+```python
+def backward(self, grad):
+    self.grad = grad
+    if self.grad_fn:
+        self.grad_fn.inputs[0].backward(self.grad_fn.backward(grad))
+```
+**Why Acceptable**:
+- Basic backward pass works
+- Only handles single input (fails for multi-input operations)
+- Missing None gradient handling
+- Shows understanding but incomplete
+
+### Module 09: Spatial - Convolution Implementation
+
+**Excellent Solution (9-10 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, x):
+    """Forward pass with explicit loops for clarity."""
+    batch_size, in_channels, height, width = x.shape
+    out_height = (height - self.kernel_size + 2 * self.padding) // self.stride + 1
+    out_width = (width - self.kernel_size + 2 * self.padding) // self.stride + 1
+    
+    output = np.zeros((batch_size, self.out_channels, out_height, out_width))
+    
+    # Apply padding
+    if self.padding > 0:
+        x = np.pad(x, ((0, 0), (0, 0), (self.padding, self.padding), 
+                      (self.padding, self.padding)), mode='constant')
+    
+    # Explicit convolution loops
+    for b in range(batch_size):
+        for oc in range(self.out_channels):
+            for oh in range(out_height):
+                for ow in range(out_width):
+                    h_start = oh * self.stride
+                    w_start = ow * self.stride
+                    h_end = h_start + self.kernel_size
+                    w_end = w_start + self.kernel_size
+                    
+                    window = x[b, :, h_start:h_end, w_start:w_end]
+                    output[b, oc, oh, ow] = np.sum(
+                        window * self.weight[oc] + self.bias[oc]
+                    )
+    
+    return Tensor(output, requires_grad=x.requires_grad)
+```
+**Why Excellent**:
+- Clear output shape calculation
+- Proper padding handling
+- Explicit loops make O(kernel_size²) complexity visible
+- Correct gradient tracking setup
+- Well-structured and readable
+
+**Good Solution (7-8 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, x):
+    B, C, H, W = x.shape
+    out_h = (H - self.kernel_size) // self.stride + 1
+    out_w = (W - self.kernel_size) // self.stride + 1
+    out = np.zeros((B, self.out_channels, out_h, out_w))
+    
+    for b in range(B):
+        for oc in range(self.out_channels):
+            for i in range(out_h):
+                for j in range(out_w):
+                    h = i * self.stride
+                    w = j * self.stride
+                    out[b, oc, i, j] = np.sum(
+                        x[b, :, h:h+self.kernel_size, w:w+self.kernel_size] 
+                        * self.weight[oc]
+                    ) + self.bias[oc]
+    return Tensor(out)
+```
+**Why Good**:
+- Correct implementation
+- Missing padding support (works only for padding=0)
+- Less clear variable names
+- Missing requires_grad propagation
+
+**Acceptable Solution (5-6 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, x):
+    out = np.zeros((x.shape[0], self.out_channels, x.shape[2]-2, x.shape[3]-2))
+    for b in range(x.shape[0]):
+        for c in range(self.out_channels):
+            for i in range(out.shape[2]):
+                for j in range(out.shape[3]):
+                    out[b, c, i, j] = np.sum(x[b, :, i:i+3, j:j+3] * self.weight[c])
+    return Tensor(out)
+```
+**Why Acceptable**:
+- Basic convolution works
+- Hardcoded kernel_size=3 (not general)
+- No stride or padding support
+- Shows understanding but incomplete
+
+### Module 12: Attention - Scaled Dot-Product Attention
+
+**Excellent Solution (9-10 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, query, key, value, mask=None):
+    """Scaled dot-product attention with numerical stability."""
+    # Compute attention scores
+    scores = np.dot(query, key.T) / np.sqrt(self.d_k)
+    
+    # Apply mask if provided
+    if mask is not None:
+        scores = np.where(mask, scores, -1e9)
+    
+    # Softmax with numerical stability
+    exp_scores = np.exp(scores - np.max(scores, axis=-1, keepdims=True))
+    attention_weights = exp_scores / np.sum(exp_scores, axis=-1, keepdims=True)
+    
+    # Apply attention to values
+    output = np.dot(attention_weights, value)
+    
+    return output, attention_weights
+```
+**Why Excellent**:
+- Proper scaling factor (1/√d_k)
+- Numerical stability with max subtraction
+- Mask handling
+- Returns both output and attention weights
+- Clear and well-documented
+
+**Good Solution (7-8 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, q, k, v):
+    scores = np.dot(q, k.T) / np.sqrt(q.shape[-1])
+    weights = np.exp(scores) / np.sum(np.exp(scores), axis=-1, keepdims=True)
+    return np.dot(weights, v)
+```
+**Why Good**:
+- Correct implementation
+- Missing numerical stability (may overflow)
+- Missing mask support
+- Works but less robust
+
+**Acceptable Solution (5-6 points)**:
+```python
+def forward(self, q, k, v):
+    scores = np.dot(q, k.T)
+    weights = np.exp(scores) / np.sum(np.exp(scores))
+    return np.dot(weights, v)
+```
+**Why Acceptable**:
+- Basic attention mechanism
+- Missing scaling factor
+- Missing numerical stability
+- Incorrect softmax (should be per-row)
+
+### Grading Guidelines Using Sample Solutions
+
+**When Evaluating Student Code**:
+
+1. **Correctness First**: Does it pass all tests?
+   - If no: Maximum 6 points (even if well-written)
+   - If yes: Proceed to quality evaluation
+
+2. **Code Quality**: 
+   - **Excellent (9-10)**: Production-ready, handles edge cases, well-documented
+   - **Good (7-8)**: Correct and functional, minor improvements possible
+   - **Acceptable (5-6)**: Works but incomplete or has issues
+
+3. **Systems Thinking**:
+   - **Excellent**: Discusses memory, performance, scaling implications
+   - **Good**: Some systems awareness
+   - **Acceptable**: Focuses only on correctness
+
+4. **Common Patterns**:
+   - Look for: Proper error handling, edge case consideration, documentation
+   - Red flags: Hardcoded values, missing checks, unclear variable names
+
+**Remember**: These are calibration examples. Adjust based on your course level and learning objectives. The goal is consistent evaluation, not perfection.

-## Instructor Integration (Coming Soon)
+## Notebook Platform Options
 
-TinyTorch supports [NBGrader](https://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/) for classroom use. Documentation for instructors using the autograding features will be available in future releases.
+TinyTorch notebooks work with multiple platforms, but **important distinction**:
+
+### Online Notebooks (Viewing & Exploration)
+- **Jupyter/MyBinder**: Click "Launch Binder" on any notebook page - great for viewing
+- **Google Colab**: Click "Launch Colab" for GPU access - good for exploration
+- **Marimo**: Click "🍃 Open in Marimo" for reactive notebooks - excellent for learning
+
+**⚠️ Important**: Online notebooks are for **viewing and learning**. They don't have the full TinyTorch package installed, so you can't:
+- Run milestone validation scripts
+- Import from `tinytorch.*` modules
+- Execute full experiments
+- Use the complete CLI tools
+
+### Local Setup (Required for Full Package)
+**To actually build and experiment**, you need a **local installation**:
+
+```bash
+# Clone and setup locally
+git clone https://github.com/mlsysbook/TinyTorch.git
+cd TinyTorch
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install -e .  # Install TinyTorch package
+```
+
+**Why local?**
+- ✅ Full `tinytorch.*` package available
+- ✅ Run milestone validation scripts
+- ✅ Use `tito` CLI commands
+- ✅ Execute complete experiments
+- ✅ Export modules to package
+- ✅ Full development workflow
+
+**Note for NBGrader assignments**: Submit `.ipynb` files (not Marimo's `.py` format) to preserve grading metadata.

+# Teaching Assistant Guide for TinyTorch
+
+Complete guide for TAs supporting TinyTorch courses, covering common student errors, debugging strategies, and effective support techniques.
+
+## 🎯 TA Preparation
+
+### Critical Modules for Deep Familiarity
+
+TAs should develop deep familiarity with modules where students commonly struggle:
+
+1. **Module 05: Autograd** - Most conceptually challenging
+2. **Module 09: CNNs (Spatial)** - Complex nested loops and memory patterns
+3. **Module 13: Transformers** - Attention mechanisms and scaling
+
+### Preparation Process
+
+1. **Complete modules yourself** - Implement all three critical modules
+2. **Introduce bugs intentionally** - Understand common error patterns
+3. **Practice debugging** - Work through error scenarios
+4. **Review student submissions** - Familiarize yourself with common mistakes
+
+## 🐛 Common Student Errors
+
+### Module 05: Autograd
+
+#### Error 1: Gradient Shape Mismatches
+**Symptom**: `ValueError: shapes don't match for gradient`
+**Common Cause**: Incorrect gradient accumulation or shape handling
+**Debugging Strategy**:
+- Check gradient shapes match parameter shapes
+- Verify gradient accumulation logic
+- Look for broadcasting issues
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# Wrong: Gradient shape mismatch
+param.grad = grad  # grad might be wrong shape
+
+# Right: Ensure shapes match
+assert grad.shape == param.shape
+param.grad = grad
+```
+
+#### Error 2: Disconnected Computational Graph
+**Symptom**: Gradients are None or zero
+**Common Cause**: Operations not tracked in computational graph
+**Debugging Strategy**:
+- Verify `requires_grad=True` on input tensors
+- Check that operations create new Tensor objects
+- Ensure backward() is called on leaf nodes
+
+**Example**:
+```python
+# Wrong: Graph disconnected
+x = Tensor([1, 2, 3])  # requires_grad=False by default
+y = x * 2
+y.backward()  # No gradients!
+
+# Right: Enable gradient tracking
+x = Tensor([1, 2, 3], requires_grad=True)
+y = x * 2
+y.backward()  # Gradients flow correctly
+```
+
+#### Error 3: Broadcasting Failures
+**Symptom**: Shape errors during backward pass
+**Common Cause**: Incorrect handling of broadcasted operations
+**Debugging Strategy**:
+- Understand NumPy broadcasting rules
+- Check gradient accumulation for broadcasted dimensions
+- Verify gradient shapes match original tensor shapes
+
+### Module 09: CNNs (Spatial)
+
+#### Error 1: Index Out of Bounds
+**Symptom**: `IndexError` in convolution loops
+**Common Cause**: Incorrect padding or stride calculations
+**Debugging Strategy**:
+- Verify output shape calculations
+- Check padding logic
+- Test with small examples first
+
+#### Error 2: Memory Issues
+**Symptom**: Out of memory errors
+**Common Cause**: Creating unnecessary intermediate arrays
+**Debugging Strategy**:
+- Profile memory usage
+- Look for unnecessary copies
+- Optimize loop structure
+
+### Module 13: Transformers
+
+#### Error 1: Attention Scaling Issues
+**Symptom**: Attention weights don't sum to 1
+**Common Cause**: Missing softmax or incorrect scaling
+**Debugging Strategy**:
+- Verify softmax is applied
+- Check scaling factor (1/sqrt(d_k))
+- Test attention weights sum to 1
+
+#### Error 2: Positional Encoding Errors
+**Symptom**: Model doesn't learn positional information
+**Common Cause**: Incorrect positional encoding implementation
+**Debugging Strategy**:
+- Verify sinusoidal patterns
+- Check encoding is added correctly
+- Test with simple sequences
+
+## 🔧 Debugging Strategies
+
+### Structured Debugging Questions
+
+When students ask for help, guide them with questions rather than giving answers:
+
+1. **What error message are you seeing?**
+   - Read the full traceback
+   - Identify the specific line causing the error
+
+2. **What did you expect to happen?**
+   - Clarify their mental model
+   - Identify misconceptions
+
+3. **What actually happened?**
+   - Compare expected vs actual
+   - Look for patterns
+
+4. **What have you tried?**
+   - Avoid repeating failed approaches
+   - Build on their attempts
+
+5. **Can you test with a simpler case?**
+   - Reduce complexity
+   - Isolate the problem
+
+### Productive vs Unproductive Struggle
+
+**Productive Struggle** (encourage):
+- Trying different approaches
+- Making incremental progress
+- Understanding error messages
+- Passing additional tests over time
+
+**Unproductive Frustration** (intervene):
+- Repeated identical errors
+- Random code changes
+- Unable to articulate the problem
+- No progress after 30+ minutes
+
+### When to Provide Scaffolding
+
+Offer scaffolding modules when students reach unproductive frustration:
+
+- **Before Autograd**: Numerical gradient checking module
+- **Before Tensor Autograd**: Scalar autograd module
+- **Before CNNs**: Simple 1D convolution exercises
+
+## 📊 Office Hour Patterns
+
+### Expected Demand Spikes
+
+**Module 05 (Autograd)**: Highest demand
+- Schedule additional TA capacity
+- Pre-record debugging walkthroughs
+- Create FAQ document
+
+**Module 09 (CNNs)**: High demand
+- Focus on memory profiling
+- Loop optimization strategies
+- Padding/stride calculations
+
+**Module 13 (Transformers)**: Moderate-high demand
+- Attention mechanism debugging
+- Positional encoding issues
+- Scaling problems
+
+### Support Channels
+
+1. **Synchronous**: Office hours, lab sessions
+2. **Asynchronous**: Discussion forums, email
+3. **Self-service**: Common errors documentation, FAQ
+
+## 🎓 Grading Support
+
+### Manual Review Focus Areas
+
+While NBGrader automates 70-80% of assessment, focus manual review on:
+
+1. **Code Clarity and Design Choices**
+   - Is code readable?
+   - Are design decisions justified?
+   - Is the implementation clean?
+
+2. **Edge Case Handling**
+   - Does code handle edge cases?
+   - Are there appropriate checks?
+   - Is error handling present?
+
+3. **Computational Complexity Analysis**
+   - Do students understand complexity?
+   - Can they analyze their code?
+   - Do they recognize bottlenecks?
+
+4. **Memory Profiling Insights**
+   - Do students understand memory usage?
+   - Can they identify memory issues?
+   - Do they optimize appropriately?
+
+### Grading Rubrics
+
+See `INSTRUCTOR.md` for detailed grading rubrics for:
+- ML Systems Thinking questions
