- Validates tensor shapes, counts parameters, and estimates FLOPs/VRAM in real time during neural network design.
- Catches design errors like incompatible residuals or mismatched layers before GPU execution, saving resources.
- Exports executable PyTorch code directly from the visual editor, ensuring correctness.
- Open-source (MIT) with 63 supported operations, available on GitHub and as a web app.
Tensey is an open-source visual editor designed to streamline neural network development by validating tensor shapes, counting parameters, and estimating FLOPs and VRAM usage in real time. The tool catches common design flaws like incompatible residuals or mismatched Linear layers before they waste GPU resources, saving developers time and computational costs.
The editor supports proper shape inference and exports executable PyTorch code directly from the visual design, ensuring that the generated models are both correct and functional. With 63 supported operations, Tensey is lightweight yet comprehensive, making it accessible for researchers and engineers alike.
Built by aarocy and released under the MIT license, Tensey is hosted on GitHub and available as a web-based tool via Vercel. Its focus on practical utility and open collaboration aligns with the growing demand for developer-friendly AI tooling.
