The GPT is implemented as a package and, separately, as a command-line wrapper that calls it, just to keep the algorithm separate from the invocation details.
The Value class is more type-safe in go, using values everywhere as opposed to mingling floats and values in the localgrad tuple.
The Value struct has actual tests confirming the backward propagation logic.
When writing the Value struct and its methods, I accidentally swapped the order of the values in the localGrads slice in Mul and tore my hair out trying to figure out where the bug was. When I broke down and asked copilot to "compare these two implementations and tell me how they differ," it managed to find the error -- but also reported three non-existent differences and told me that slices.Backward() doesn't exist.
Initial pass translating the linear algebra functions has me worried that all those value structs aren't going to be very fast...
Had to implement weighted random choice. https://cybernetist.com/2019/01/24/random-weighted-draws-in-go/ made that relatively straightforward; it's a neat algorithm.
