Why it exists

Classification heads and attention need stable softmax variants, including sparse/Gumbel/Entmax for research paths.

What it is

Weightless layer; KindStandard/Temperature/Grid/Hierarchical/Gumbel/Masked/Sparse/… WebGPU covers std family; exotic kinds hard-error on GPU (no silent host).

Go example

examples/17-softmax/main.go

Run:cd welvet/examples/17-softmax && source ../env.sh && go run .
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/openfluke/welvet/core"
	"github.com/openfluke/welvet/layers/softmax"
)

func main() {
	l, err := softmax.New(softmax.Config{Dim: 4, Kind: softmax.KindStandard})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	x := core.NewTensor[float32](1, 4)
	copy(x.Data, []float32{2, 1, 0.1, -1})
	_, y, err := softmax.Forward(l, x)
	fmt.Println(y.Data, err)
}
