Demonstrates concrete ML steps: implements linear and logistic regression with numpy, derives gradients and runs gradient descent to fit weights, shows inference as a one‑line ŷ = X·W, and trains a multiclass classifier on MNIST that reaches about 90.32% accuracy. Code is plain Python (~20 lines for the core), training is iterative and slower while inference is cheap, and the live demo briefly tripped but the scripts produce the reported model and results.
