# a small model is all you need

We celebrate three years of experiments with the release of `palmer-006`, our flagship and extremely small language model for local experimentation, edge hardware, small SBCs, and low-power devices. Note that this model serves primarily as a language model and has not been validated nor finetuned as a general-purpose chat assistant. Thus further finetuning is required to properly work as an instruction-tuned model.

## updates

- [🐦‍🔥 A wild palmer appeared, go catch it!](https://huggingface.co/CEAMFA/palmer-007-preview-GGUF)
- No longer promoting arithmark, after doing proper evals, palmer-006 is barely better than the base model used to train. Model is [#5 on open slm leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/AxiomicLabs/Open_SLM_Leaderboard)
- Second spot on [BananaMindBench Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/BananaMind/BananaMindBench-Leaderboard)!!🎉🎉

## ● details

<img
  class="benchmark-image"
  src="https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/62a813dedbb9e28866a91b27/WLY14UxFOKUVR9UZ2H5RK.png"
  alt="Palmer 006 benchmark comparison"
/>

We first lightly fine-tuned the base model on a diverse set of highly curated data points. We then “palmerized” it by merging models, followed by another light fine-tuning round. Finally, we adjusted Mamba for maximum token speed. With only 90M parameters, this turned the model into a competitive baseline against models above 125M parameters.

> As seen in the benchmark, we are getting closer to the performance of bigger models with our current technique, even on models of this size. Note: We used `acc_norm` whenever available.

## ● quick test

You can load `model.gguf` model into a llama-server, then run the script inside this repo as follows:

```python
python completion.py prompt.txt
```

## ● license

Open research, education, hobby use, modification, and redistribution are permitted. Commercial deployment, internal business use, paid products, hosted APIs, and client work require a separate commercial license from appvoid. For commercial licensing: [nosoyhackercodigo@gmail.com](mailto:nosoyhackercodigo@gmail.com)

  👋 But hey! If you already have a [donation subscription](https://ko-fi.com/appvoid), you can claim access to a free commercial license through the email above. You will keep the rights as long as the subscription is active.

## ● upstream attribution

**palmer-006 is built using artificial intelligence technology from the Technology Innovation Institute.**

## ● fun facts

- the new logo represents palmer's eye, pointing how small this new model is
- palmer models still exists to some extent due to inspiration from Karpathy's idea of a self-contained "cognitive core".
- we just like light finetuning because we prefer starting "real" experiments with the strongest baseline possible
- [we have an org with early access checkpoints](https://huggingface.co/CEAMFA)
