That method has been deprecated in Python 3.12 and will be removed from Python 3.14. Replace it with a direct call to `importlib.util.find_spec()`, which `pkgutil.find_loader()` was wrapping around.

Nice, this is really cool. Sorry for taking so long to review it. Just played around with it for a while and it's awesome :D |

Thanks. It was indeed a huge challenge to integrate this. I'm working on a second example that will give a complete approach, with the support of appropriate tokenisation. |

This example demonstrates a minimal implementation of a Very Small Language Model (VSLM) using Dlib's Transformer architecture.
The code showcases key features of the new Transformer layers, including attention mechanisms, positional embeddings, and a classification head, while maintaining a simple character-based tokenization approach.
Using Shakespeare's text as training data, the example illustrates both the training process and text generation capabilities, making it an excellent educational tool for understanding Transformer architecture basics.
The implementation is intentionally kept lightweight with a small parameter count to ensure quick training and generation while still achieving perfect memorization of training sequences, demonstrating the effectiveness of attention mechanisms in sequence learning tasks.
