ansigpt ports microgpt to pure C89

ansigpt is a new GitHub project that reimplements Andrej Karpathy’s dependency-free microgpt in ANSI C89. It targets low-level, minimal-stack experimentation with GPT internals rather than production model performance.

// ANALYSIS

This is a niche but valuable “learn by rebuilding” release for systems-minded AI developers.

–Rewriting microgpt in C89 makes transformer training/inference mechanics visible without heavy ML frameworks.
–The project is early-stage (small repo, no formal release), so it is best treated as an educational codebase.
–Its manual-data, barebones approach favors portability and understanding over speed, tooling, or modern ergonomics.
