Recurrent neural network in 3D
Unroll a sequence and trace a state reused across time steps. Explore the 3D model, inspect its parts and learn with guided explanations. Free on Atlas.

What you can learn
Unroll a sequence and trace a state reused across time steps.
Keep the time order.
Follow the carried information.
Distinguish gates from physical switches.

Sources and model scope
A three-dimensional computational diagram, not physical hardware or a running trained model. Displayed widths, node counts and example values are illustrative. Select named stages to trace information flow. The separate upper study rail contains deterministic worked examples, with values on every selectable cell.
