We needed a side project to give agentic coding a try, and created tensorspy.com together with Junie and ChatGPT 5.2.Tensor Spy lets you quickly inspect the contents of numpy & pytorch tensors locally (your tensors are not uploaded to any servers).This is useful to validate your deep learning data pipelines, to check which layers in your diverging model are actually going haywire, and just because it's kind of cool & a lot more convenient for one-off inspections than loading things up in python.If you work with diffusion models, inspecting the latent space can be quite informative: you want some "noise" in there but it should probably be fairly smooth for your LDM (Latent Diffusion Model) to be able to target it well.Also, if you haven't looked at your data, it's probably not what you think it is ;)Basic stats are auto-computed, and any inf/nan values are both counted and rendered with contrasting colors, to help you quickly identify issue hotspots.The site is free, and our broad intention is to keep it that way (we run a bunch of pro-bono little utility sites in addition to our commercial ones, they're all linked on the about page).Would love to hear your thoughts, I'm sure there are some stats or utility features we missed, so please give it a spin and let us know!---Agentic coding is a brave new world. Three years ago, after the initial rush of ChatGPT's launch, I commented to some friends that "we're standing on the beach and the water just receded". The tsunami is really hitting now. As in: this project took about 2 weeks, and not only would we not have done it without agentic coding, it would have taken months using "traditional methods". With agentic coding, adding .pt/.pth support was basically a single request. And it just worked. Time to adapt yet again.

Could you build this?

Yes Tensor Spy runs entirely client-side, parsing standard binary tensor formats (.npy, .pt) using WebAssembly/JavaScript libraries and rendering slices via HTML canvas. The authors explicitly state they built it in a few sessions using AI coding assistants.
