Epoch Idle: AI Training Sim

You are handed a single neuron and a dataset it cannot fit.

Epoch Idle is an idle game about the real loop of machine learning -
scaled down, sped up, and made tactile. Every purchase runs a slice of
actual gradient descent. Every number on screen is live math, not a
counter with a skin.

TRAIN
Start with one perceptron and straight-line data. Watch the loss curve
bend as you tune weights, learning rate, and hardware - then hit the
LINEAR // CEILING wall and learn why activation functions exist.

DEEPEN
Unlock ReLU, Sigmoid, and GELU. Add Conv2D kernels for segmented data
and fight the overfitting they invite. Route multi-head attention over
tangled regions no kernel stack can tile. End in a one-way Transformer
paradigm shift.

PRESTIGE - THREE DEEP
• Backprop Step: collapse the run into ∇ gradients and spend them down
the optimizer tree (SGD → Momentum → RMSProp → Adam).
• Checkpoint Freeze: bank every mastered dataset as permanent Model
Weights ω.
• Paradigm Shift: reroute your multipliers into the Transformer regime.

LEARN WITHOUT NOTICING
Loss ceilings are real formulas. Overfitting follows the real 2σ²
estimation law. Every paper you publish arrives with its real abstract -
from the perceptron to "Attention Is All You Need" - and 28 tappable
concepts explain the math behind every system you use.

FAIR BY DESIGN
• Zero forced ads. The one rewarded ad is an optional ×2 TPU Overclock.
• Offline catch-up up to 24 h (extendable to 48) - deterministic, chunked,
honest.
• Full tutorial that fades when you've proven the mechanic.
• No accounts, no cloud, no tracking: your run is a local file you can
export from Settings.

Train, publish, shift paradigms - the gradient never sleeps.
