short_description: Open-Weights Very Small LLM Research
Welcome to Minty!
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
