# Neural network training — pixel art animation

A 56-second looping pixel-art animation of a small neural network learning handwritten digits. Each 8-second cycle shows an input digit, a blue forward pass, a prediction, and a red backward pass. The cycle repeats seven times with a different digit each time. There is no voiceover and almost no text.
