Description
Hi Andrej,
I wanted to share that, with a few judicious modifications to the Transformer code in makemore.py (in particular, a custom tokenizer as shown in the image + cross attention for ascii characters), I was able to train a rather high-quality pen-stroke cursive generation model.

Thanks for writing the makemore + mingpt + nanogpt repos; they are wonderful, minimalist starting points for this kind of light exploratory research/hobby project.
