|
|
| # 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 |
