WhyTorch

This is a learning tool designed to teach you how various PyTorch functions work.

Only a subset of functions have been added to the site (starting with the ones I thought most needed explanation). More coming soon - or see the GitHub repo to see how you can help!

You can also jump directly to the WhyTorch explanation of a function from the PyTorch documents. Change the URL from docs.pytorch.org/... to docs.whytorch.org/... and it should seamlessly redirect to WhyTorch corresponding to that function.
