| """Self-contained nano-dates model — no dependencies beyond torch + safetensors. |
| |
| A 1M-parameter byte-level decoder-only transformer (RMSNorm, RoPE, GQA, SwiGLU) |
| that converts a natural date phrase to an ISO-8601 date. This single file vendors |
| the exact architecture the model was trained with, so you can load and run the |
| published weights without installing the training lab. |
| |
| python modeling_nano_dates.py # runs a few examples |
| # or, from your own code: |
| from modeling_nano_dates import load, parse |
| model = load("model.safetensors", "config.json") |
| print(parse(model, "2024-03-10", "the 3rd of July 2025")) # -> 2025-07-03 |
| |
| Prompt format the model was trained on (byte-for-byte): |
| |
| <today ISO> | <phrase> => <answer ISO> |
| |
| `today` is given so relative phrases ("tomorrow", "next week") are computable from |
| the input alone — the model never needs a wall clock. `parse()` builds the prompt |
| and greedily decodes exactly 10 characters. |
