  Why is it so difficult to write a short description what the project does? With too many open source projects people, who are not familiar with it, have to play detective to figure out what it actually is doing. "Wait a package manager based on numphy? That doesn't make any sense. Oh they mention LLM? So it must have something to do with AI"

  Okay so is Mamba also an llm? There’s too much name overloading!

  I’m familiar with mamba, the conda like thing in python, but a numpy implementation of that makes no sense.

  Is there a benefit to implementing it in numpy over pytorch or tf?

  Contrary to what the title says, this is note a pure Pyhon + numpy implementation: in fact it also imports einops, transformers and torch.

  For me pure X means: to use this, all you have to install is X.

  Totally unclear what this is. I scrolled through the readme and it didn't even mention once what it does.
