This is me, watching my model train and watching the loss go down at every epoch.

Oh, train is a verb not a noun here! I thought you meant a toy train set, and was very confused for a moment

Oh!! Haha I didn’t realize that until I read it again 😅 That’s a confusing sentence if you read it the other way. I wonder if there’s a name for sentences that change meaning as you read/hear the later part of the sentence.
