Implemented a custom multimodal GRPO trainer that scales for Small VLMs, supports cpu and gpu with vllm + flash attention. Using SmolVLM-256M-Instruct reference & reward model, wasn’t trained for long btw, still got some sparks of “thinking”:) Code: https://github.com/Jaykef/ai-algorithms/blob/main/grpo_multimodal_reasoner.ipynb

Finally, the ground truth / AlexNet’s original source code is available to all. Context: AlexNet had a historic win in the 2012 ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC), reducing error rate from 26% (previous best) to 15.3%. It’s a deep CNN with 8 layers (5 convolutional + 3 fully connected), pioneering the use of ReLU activations for faster training, dropout for regularization, and GPU acceleration for large-scale learning. This moment marked the beginning of the deep learning revolution, inspiring architectures like VGG, ResNet, and modern transformers. Code: https://github.com/computerhistory/AlexNet-Source-Code
