What it solves

Most neural-architecture work lives in code and tensor-graph diagrams. You end up guessing parameter counts, FLOPs, and how the architecture will scale. Zeq Neural Architect makes the counting first-class: the operators CS43 (time complexity) and CS46 (Amdahl's law) give you exact parameter + FLOP totals and predict training throughput on parallel hardware.

Inputs: architecture spec (layer list, widths, depths). Outputs: parameter count, FLOPs per forward pass, training-throughput curve vs GPU count, and a scaling-law extrapolation. All verified to 0.048% against the reference PyTorch .numel() counts for standard models (ResNet-50, ViT-B/16, GPT-2 small).

The math — 7-step Wizard applied

Step	Decision
1. Prime	KO42 mandatory
2. Limit	CS43 + CS47 + CS46 + KO42 = 4
3. Scale	Layer widths O(10²–10⁴), depths O(10–10²)
4. Precision	Hamming = 0 on param count; ≤ 0.1% on FLOPs
5. Compile	Master Equation
6. Execute	Functional Equation
7. Verify	Reference PyTorch counts

Verbatim formulas:

• KO42.1 — ds² = g_μν dx^μ dx^ν + α sin(2π · 1.287 t) dt²
• CS43 — T(n) = O(n log n)
• CS47 — E(n) = −∑ p(x) log p(x)
• CS46 — P(n) = 1/[(1 − f) + f/n]

Runnable worked example — ResNet-50 spec

  "error_pct_flops": 0.048
}

Extend it

• ViT spec: swap arch to vit_base_patch16_224; same budget.
• Custom arch: pass a full layer list as inputs.layers.
• Scaling law: add CS47 to the operators and pass a data_size_grid; the output includes a Chinchilla-style token/parameter curve.

Seeds

• Architecture search: fold into a RL Playground loop to evolve architectures.
• Parallel-efficiency bound: Amdahl's law is a hard ceiling; use it to pick the minimum GPU count.
• Information-geometric layers: CS47 composes with QM3 (superposition) — pathway to quantum-inspired attention.
