Hand-set transformer weights achieve 100% multiplication accuracy

An r/MachineLearning project hand-sets an ordinary Phi-3 transformer's weights — no training — by compiling the grade-school multiplication algorithm as a computation graph, achieving 100% exact multiplication. The author notes nobody needs an arithmetic-specialist transformer; the goal was proving exact arithmetic is possible with hand-chosen weights.
