Raschka is most commonly pronounced "rahsh kuh" (/ˈrɑːʃkə/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.
Sebastian Raschka, author of "Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch)" and the Ahead of AI newsletter. German surname: "sch" is the /ʃ/ digraph, so it is "RAHSH-kuh", not a "rask" cluster. US speakers commonly anglicize the first vowel to "RASH-kuh"; both are heard.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will.
