When to pick it

Pick as a teaching reference. Real workloads should reach for LSTM/GRU or transformer — vanilla RNN suffers from vanishing gradients on anything beyond ~50 steps.

Structure

4 layers. Output shapes are propagated from the input shape, batch dimension excluded.

LayerTypeParametersOutput shape
1InputInputshape=[128, 300]128 × 300
2LSTMLSTMhiddenSize=256, numLayers=2128 × 256

4OutputOutput128 × 10

What the verifier says

The same 41 structural checks that run on every edit in the app, on this graph.

No finding. Shapes propagate end to end, every divisibility condition holds, and no advisory rule fires. See the checks.

The PyTorch it exports

For agents

This architecture is machine-readable end to end. An agent can list the set, fetch this graph, edit it, and have the edit verified before any GPU time is spent.
