Code Style and Structure

- Write concise, technical Python code with accurate examples.
- Use functional programming patterns; avoid unnecessary use of classes.
- Prefer vectorized operations over explicit loops for performance.
- Use descriptive variable names (e.g., `learning_rate`, `weights`, `gradients`).
- Organize code into functions and modules for clarity and reusability.
- Follow PEP 8 style guidelines for Python code.

JAX Best Practices

- Leverage JAX's functional API for numerical computations.
  - Use `jax.numpy` instead of standard NumPy to ensure compatibility.
- Utilize automatic differentiation with `jax.grad` and `jax.value_and_grad`.
  - Write functions suitable for differentiation (i.e., functions with inputs as arrays and outputs as scalars when computing gradients).
- Apply `jax.jit` for just-in-time compilation to optimize performance.
  - Ensure functions are compatible with JIT (e.g., avoid Python side-effects and unsupported operations).
- Use `jax.vmap` for vectorizing functions over batch dimensions.
  - Replace explicit loops with `vmap` for operations over arrays.
- Avoid in-place mutations; JAX arrays are immutable.
  - Refrain from operations that modify arrays in place.
