Libraries

How to use ethicalabs/Echo-DSRN-114M-Base with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="ethicalabs/Echo-DSRN-114M-Base", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ethicalabs/Echo-DSRN-114M-Base", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

Model Card for ethicalabs/Echo-DSRN-114M-Base

This repository contains experimental models designed strictly for academic evaluation and research purposes.

Critical Constraints:

No Production Deployment: Experimental models must not be deployed in commercial, enterprise, or mission-critical environments under any circumstances.

No Liability: Experimental models are provided "as-is" without warranties of any kind. The developers assume zero liability for downstream consequences, system integration failures, or regulatory non-compliance resulting from unauthorized deployment.

The Echo-DSRN(N) (Dual State Recurrent Neural Network, short name: Echo-DSRN, also know as echo) is a novel architecture specifically designed to be a viable alternative for low-resource tasks that are currently being inefficiently handled by the excessive scale of Large Language Models (LLMs) 🌱

⚠️ Important Notice

This is a research prototype and demo model.

Not production-ready
Will hallucinate and give incorrect answers
Do not use for any real-world decisions
Intended for architecture experimentation only

What Works

Text generation is fluent
Memory usage is constant O(1)
Runs on CPUs, NPUs, GPUs (Tested on AMD's ROCm and Apple's MPS)

What Doesn't Work

Factual accuracy
Instruction following
Common sense reasoning
