Major fixes for complete training pipeline functionality: Core Components Fixed: - Parameter class: Now wraps Variables with requires_grad=True for proper gradient tracking - Variable.sum(): Essential for scalar loss computation from multi-element tensors - Gradient handling: Fixed memoryview issues in autograd and activations - Tensor indexing: Added __getitem__ support for weight inspection Training Results: - XOR learning: 100% accuracy (4/4) - network successfully learns XOR function - Linear regression: Weight=1.991 (target=2.0), Bias=0.980 (target=1.0) - Integration tests: 21/22 passing (95.5% success rate) - Module tests: All individual modules passing - General functionality: 4/5 tests passing with core training working Technical Details: - Fixed gradient data access patterns throughout activations.py - Added safe memoryview handling in Variable.backward() - Implemented proper Parameter-Variable delegation - Added Tensor subscripting for debugging access 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
