# Model Card for Helium-Nano (45M)
|
| 20 |
+
|
| 21 |
+
**Helium-Nano** is a 45-million parameter Small Language Model (SLM) trained on the TinyStories dataset. It demonstrates how a highly optimized custom Transformer architecture can achieve coherent English storytelling capabilities with minimal compute resources. The model was trained in under 1 hour on a single Nvidia L4 GPU, achieving a throughput of **409k tokens/second** via PyTorch 2.0 compile and architectural optimizations.
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
## Model Details
|
| 24 |
+
|
| 25 |
+
### Model Description
|
| 26 |
+
|
| 27 |
+
Helium-Nano is a decoder-only Transformer designed to investigate training dynamics and scaling laws in low-resource environments. Despite its small size, it produces grammatically correct and narratively consistent short stories.
|
| 28 |
+
|
| 29 |
+
The primary goal of this model was engineering efficiency. By implementing **BFloat16 mixed precision**, **Flash Attention principles**, **Torch.compile (Inductor)**, and **Float32-optimized Rotary Embeddings (RoPE)**, the training pipeline achieved a 16x speedup over standard eager-mode baselines.
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
- **Developed by:** Debmalya/batmanLovesAI
|
| 32 |
+
- **Model type:** Decoder-only Transformer (Custom Architecture)
|
| 33 |
+
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English
|
| 34 |
+
- **License:** MIT
|
| 35 |
+
- **Finetuned from model:** N/A (Trained from scratch)
|
| 36 |
+

+
## Uses
|
| 44 |
+
|
| 45 |
+
### Direct Use
|
| 46 |
+
|
| 47 |
+
- **Story Generation:** Generating simple, coherent short stories suitable for early childhood reading levels.
|
| 48 |
+
- **Educational:** A lightweight baseline for experimenting with model interpretation, quantization, or fine-tuning on consumer hardware.
|
| 49 |
+
- **Performance Benchmarking:** Testing inference speeds of small transformers on various hardware.
|
| 50 |
+
|
| 51 |
+
### Out-of-Scope Use
|
| 52 |
+
|
| 53 |
+
- **Factual Queries:** The model is trained on fiction; it has no world knowledge and will hallucinate facts.
|
| 54 |
+
- **Reasoning/Math:** The model is not capable of complex logic or arithmetic.
|
| 55 |
+
- **Harmful Content:** While the dataset is heavily filtered, users should not attempt to generate toxic or biased content.
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
- **Dataset Bias:** The model reflects the vocabulary and concepts found in the TinyStories dataset, which focuses on simple, positive narratives using a limited vocabulary (approx 3-year-old level).
|
| 60 |
+
- **Repetition:** Like many SLMs, the model may enter repetitive loops if the temperature is too low or repetition penalty is not applied during inference.
|
| 61 |
+
- **Hallucinations:** The model prioritizes grammatical structure over semantic logic.
|
| 62 |
+
|
| 63 |
+
## How to Get Started with the Model
|
| 64 |
+
|
| 65 |
+
Since this uses a custom architecture, you need to instantiate the model class before loading weights.
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
```python
|
| 68 |
+
import torch
|
| 69 |
+
from tokenizers import Tokenizer
|
| 70 |
+
# Assuming TinySLM class is defined in your local files
|
| 71 |
+
|
| 72 |
+
# 1. Load Tokenizer
|
| 73 |
+
tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_file("tokenizer.json")
|
| 74 |
+
|
| 75 |
+
# 2. Initialize Model
|
| 76 |
+
config = {
|
| 77 |
+
"vocab_size": 32000,
|
| 78 |
+
"d_model": 512,
|
| 79 |
+
"n_head": 8,
|
| 80 |
+
"n_layers": 10,
|
| 81 |
+
"max_seq_len": 512
|
| 82 |
+
}
|
| 83 |
+
model = TinySLM(config)
|
| 84 |
+
|
| 85 |
+
# 3. Load Weights
|
| 86 |
+
state_dict = torch.load("helium_nano_45m.pt", map_location="cpu")
|
| 87 |
+
model.load_state_dict(state_dict)
|
| 88 |
+
model.eval()
|
| 89 |
+
|
| 90 |
+
# 4. Generate
|
| 91 |
+
prompt = "Once upon a time, there was a little"
|
| 92 |
+
# ... inference code ...
