Score: 5.3/10 (Innovation: 3, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 3)

microcrad reimplements Andrej Karpathy's micrograd automatic differentiation engine in C, providing a scalar-valued computation graph with reference counting for memory management. It is an educational tool for understanding backpropagation at the scalar level, with clear code and documentation, but is not intended for production use.
