AIMU Notebooks

Runnable tutorial notebooks for AIMU, ordered to build understanding incrementally. They are authored as plain-text Quarto .qmd files (markdown with executable python cells), so they diff cleanly and are easy to edit or hand to an AI assistant.

Most notebooks need a live backend (a running Ollama server, a cloud API key, or a GPU for HuggingFace image/audio models) and gracefully skip sections when a dependency is missing. By default they are not executed at render time (see _quarto.yml); run a cell yourself in Jupyter, or quarto preview a notebook, to execute against your own backend.

Runnable tutorial notebooks for [AIMU](https://github.com/saxman/aimu), ordered to
build understanding incrementally. They are authored as plain-text Quarto `.qmd`
files (markdown with executable `python` cells), so they diff cleanly and are easy
to edit or hand to an AI assistant.

Most notebooks need a live backend (a running Ollama server, a cloud API key, or a
GPU for HuggingFace image/audio models) and gracefully skip sections when a
dependency is missing. By default they are **not executed at render time** (see
`_quarto.yml`); run a cell yourself in Jupyter, or `quarto preview` a notebook, to
execute against your own backend.
