Changed community join from anonymous UUID-based to GitHub-authenticated
profile creation with minimal CLI questions and web completion.
Changes:
- Ask only 3 questions: GitHub username (required), country, institution
- GitHub username is the authentication anchor (no more anonymous UUIDs)
- Auto-detect country when possible
- Open browser to tinytorch.ai/community/join with pre-filled params
- Store minimal profile locally (.tinytorch/community.json)
- Full profile completion happens on website (OAuth, bio, social links)
- Updated command description to be clearer
Benefits:
- Faster CLI experience (3 questions max vs 5+)
- GitHub username = single source of truth
- Better UX for complex forms (website has rich UI)
- OAuth authentication built-in
- Profile sync possible via API later
Local storage format:
{
"github_username": "studentX",
"joined_at": "2025-11-29T...",
"country": "USA",
"institution": "MIT",
"profile_url": "https://tinytorch.ai/community/studentX",

- Remove module from started_modules when marking complete
- Add validation to prevent completing modules out of order
- Show all modules in status (removed smart collapsing)
- Fix data integrity: modules must be completed sequentially
Prevents invalid states where module N is complete but N-1 is not.

- Add quiet=False parameter to enable_autograd()
- Suppress print statements when quiet=True
- Check TINYTORCH_QUIET env var on module import
- Allows CLI tools to import tinytorch silently
- Students still see helpful messages in notebooks
Major directory restructure to support both developer and learner workflows:
Structure Changes:
- NEW: src/ directory for Python source files (version controlled)
- Files renamed: tensor.py → 01_tensor.py (matches directory naming)
- All 20 modules moved from modules/ to src/
- CHANGED: modules/ now holds generated notebooks (gitignored)
- Generated from src/*.py using jupytext
- Learners work in notebooks, developers work in Python source
- UNCHANGED: tinytorch/ package (still auto-generated from notebooks)
Workflow: src/*.py → modules/*.ipynb → tinytorch/*.py
Command Updates:
- Updated export command to read from src/ and generate to modules/
- Export flow: discovers modules in src/, converts to notebooks in modules/, exports to tinytorch/
- All 20 modules tested and working
Configuration:
- Updated .gitignore to ignore modules/ directory
- Updated README.md with new three-layer architecture explanation
- Updated export.py source mappings and paths
Benefits:
- Clean separation: developers edit Python, learners use notebooks
- Better version control: only Python source committed, notebooks generated
- Flexible learning: can work in notebooks OR Python source
- Maintains backward compatibility: tinytorch package unchanged
Tested:
- Single module export: tito export 01_tensor ✅
- All modules export: tito export --all ✅
- Package imports: from tinytorch.core.tensor import Tensor ✅
- 20/20 modules successfully converted and exported
CRITICAL FIX: Monkey-patching for __getitem__ was not in source modules
PROBLEM:
- Previously modified tinytorch/core/autograd.py (compiled output)
- But NOT modules/05_autograd/autograd.py (source)
- Export regenerated compiled files WITHOUT the monkey-patching code
- Result: Tensor slicing had NO gradient tracking
SOLUTION:
1. Added tracked_getitem() to modules/05_autograd/autograd.py
2. Added _original_getitem store in enable_autograd()
3. Added Tensor.__getitem__ = tracked_getitem installation
4. Exported all modules (tensor, autograd, embeddings)
VERIFICATION TESTS:
✅ Tensor slicing attaches SliceBackward
✅ Gradients flow correctly: x[:3].backward() → x.grad = [1,1,1,0,0]
✅ Position embeddings.grad is not None and has non-zero values
✅ All 19/19 parameters get gradients and update
TRAINING RESULTS:
- Loss drops: 1.58 → 1.26 (vs 1.62→1.24 before)
- Training accuracy: 2.7% (vs 0% before)
- Test accuracy: Still 0% (needs hyperparameter tuning)
MODEL IS LEARNING (slightly) - this is progress!
Next steps: Hyperparameter tuning (more epochs, different LR, larger model)
