 # NeoLLM
 
-This model is a fine-tuned version of [](https://huggingface.co/) on an unknown dataset.
+NeoLLM is a **135 M parameter** decoder-only language model trained from scratch on
+[FineWeb-Edu](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu) in **FP8**
+precision, completing training in approximately **6 hours** on a single NVIDIA RTX 5090.
+It integrates a collection of recently published attention and normalization techniques
+into a single architecture, with the goal of studying how they interact during
+pretraining. The model is actively being developed and the current checkpoint represents
+an intermediate training state.

-## Model description
+## Architecture
+
+NeoLLM is a decoder-only transformer with the following configuration:
+
+| Parameter | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Hidden size | 512 |
+| Layers | 12 |
+| Attention heads | 8 |
+| KV heads (GQA) | 2 |
+| Head dim | 64 |
+| Intermediate size | 1536 |
+| Vocabulary | Qwen3 tokenizer (151,665 tokens) |
+| Context length | 512 tokens |
+
+### Parameter breakdown
+
+| Parameter bucket | Count |
+|---|---|
+| **Total parameters** | 132.09M (132,091,872) |
+| **Embedding parameters** (tied) | 77.65M (77,652,480) |
+| **Non-embedding parameters** | 54.44M (54,439,392) |
+| **Effective trainable parameters** | 132.09M (132,091,872) |
+
+> Weight tying is **enabled**: the input embedding matrix and the language-model head
+> share the same parameters, so the effective trainable budget is
+> `total − embed = 54.44M`.
+
+### Integrated techniques
+
+Each layer combines the following mechanisms simultaneously.
+
+**Normalization and residual stream**
+
+- **SeeDNorm** ([arXiv:2510.22777](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.22777)) — Applied to Q and K
+  projections. Dynamically rescales the normalization based on the input's own statistics,
+  making the attention geometry more stable across varying input distributions.
+- **PolyNorm** ([arXiv:2602.04902](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.04902)) — Replaces the standard
+  MLP activation with three branches: linear (x), quadratic (x²), and cubic (x³) — each
+  normalized and combined with learned weights. This allows the MLP to express both linear
+  and non-linear relationships simultaneously.
+- **GPAS** ([arXiv:2506.22049](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.22049)) — Gradient-Preserving
+  Activation Scaling. Applied to residual connections between sublayers; helps gradients
+  flow more cleanly during training without distorting the residual stream.
+- **LayerNorm Scaling / LNS** ([arXiv:2502.05795](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05795)) — Each
+  layer's output is scaled by 1/√ℓ where ℓ is the layer index. Directly addresses the
+  "Curse of Depth" in Pre-LN transformers.
+
+**Attention mechanisms**
+
+- **FAN** ([arXiv:2502.21309](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.21309)) — Fourier Analysis Networks.
+  A portion of the input projection channels are dedicated to representing periodic patterns
+  (cosine/sine pairs), while the remainder handle standard linear content.
+- **MEA** ([arXiv:2601.19611](https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.19611)) — Explicit Multi-head
+  Attention. Adds small learnable interaction matrices between attention heads for K and V.
+- **LUCID** ([arXiv:2602.10410](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.10410)) — Applies a learned
+  lower-triangular preconditioner to V before attention, decorrelating value representations
+  across positions.
+- **Affine-Scaled Attention** ([arXiv:2602.23057](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.23057)) — Adds
+  two learnable per-head scalars (α and β) to the softmax weights:
+  `[α·softmax(QKᵀ) + β]·V`.
+- **XSA** ([arXiv:2603.09078](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.09078)) — Exclusive Self Attention.
+  After computing attention, removes the component of the output aligned with the token's
+  own value vector.
+- **Directional Routing** ([arXiv:2603.14923](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.14923)) — Each head
+  learns K=4 directions in the output space; a learned router suppresses the attention output
+  along each direction per input.
+- **Gated Attention** ([arXiv:2505.06708](https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.06708)) — A sigmoid gate
+  is applied to the attention output before the output projection, introducing non-linearity
+  and preventing attention sinks.
+- **Momentum Attention** ([arXiv:2411.03884](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.03884)) — Modifies Q
+  and K by subtracting a fraction of the previous position's Q and K values (causal
+  first-difference).
+
+**MLP**
+
+- **Learnable Multipliers** ([arXiv:2601.04890](https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.04890)) — Adds
+  per-row and per-column learnable scalar parameters to each linear layer.
+- **SimpleGPT** ([arXiv:2602.01212](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.01212)) — A normalization
+  strategy derived from second-order geometry analysis, applied inside MLP projections to
+  improve optimization stability.

+## Limitations
 
-### Training hyperparameters
+- **Token budget** — ~1.5 B tokens seen; below estimated optimum. Knowledge-intensive tasks
+  will improve with more training.
+- **Gradient spike at step 40k** — Reorganized the attention pattern in layer 9 that
+  previously captured long-range token correlations. A checkpoint from ~step 38k is expected
+  to have better aggregate benchmark scores.
+- **PolyNorm exclusivity** — The quadratic branch has become partially redundant with the
+  linear branch. Will be corrected in the next training run.
+- **Base model only** — Not instruction-tuned or aligned; purely a next-token-prediction
+  base model.
