<h1 align="center">Welcome to Minty!</h1>

# What's Minty?

Minty is a non-profit organization that makes very small base and instruction-tuned LLMs from scratch.

Our mission is to train models that can run on a wide range of hardware (including CPUs)!

Currently, our models are trained on Google Colab, using NVIDIA T4 GPUs!

## Future Plans

| Model | Number of Parameters (and tokens, if applicable) | Variant | Will be Released on Minty Chat? |
|---------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| Minty 1 Haiku | ~50M Parameters, ~3–5B Tokens | Base Model | No |
| Minty 1 Haiku Instruct | ~50M Parameters | Instruction-tuned Model | Yes |

## Other Future Plans

### Minty Chat

A chat platform, powered by Minty models. You ask questions, it generates responses!

### Planned Features

* ChatGPT-like UI
* *(Very future)* Model switcher
* Web searching (so it can access up-to-date information)
* *(Future)* Thinking mode

# Credits

* Logo: Generated by Design.com AI (picked the best one).
* Banner Design: Generated by GPT-5.6 Luna (and some minor edits by myself).
* Readme Card: Written by myself and then rewritten with GPT-5.6 Luna.
