Concrete example: a Python script using numpy and plotting libraries implements linear regression to predict pizzas sold from reservations, computes mean squared error, and optimizes weight and bias with gradient descent (iterative updates, learning rate alpha). The demo prints loss per iteration and returns w≈1.2, b≈12, giving ~40.23 pizzas for 25 reservations. Code is a few dozen lines and runs in seconds; scaling to images needs millions of parameters and GPU-backed training.
