"""
The most atomic way to train and inference a GPT LLM in pure, dependency-free Python.
Differences from GPT-2 are minor: rmsnorm instead of layer norm, no biases, square ReLU instead of GeLU nonlinearity.
The contents of this file is everything algorithmically needed to train a GPT. Everything else is just efficiency.
