beit-matching is an open-weight model from Tyler Johnson, released under BSD 3-Clause License. It has 49,600 parameters and a 128-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 0 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index.
A research-oriented Beit prototype targeting Matching. The included tiny setup documents defaults and file formats without presenting unverified performance numbers. - The Python file contains the model and runnable example or training entry point.
Runs On
What it takes to serve beit-matching (49,600 parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

| 16-bit | 0.0 GB | 0.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Oct 18, 2026.

Default experiment recipe
The included configuration uses sgd with a onecycle schedule. These are starting values in the script, not evidence of a completed run. For a meaningful evaluation, train all baselines with the same data exposure, tuning budget, and random seeds.
Quick check
python predict.py --help
Inspect the script's __main__ block for its generated smoke-test example. Because this is a custom implementation, generic automatic loading APIs require an explicit adapter before use.
Evaluation guidance
A useful first evaluation would use a paired validation set, report the task metric across at least three seeds, and include a matched-capacity baseline. Keep training logs and environment versions with any published result.
Limitations
The initialization checkpoint has not been trained or audited for robustness, fairness, or domain transfer. The implementation should be treated as an experimental starting point. Results from a future trained checkpoint must be documented separately from the defaults shipped here.

Questions About beit-matching
How much GPU memory does beit-matching need?
About 0 GB at 16-bit and 0 GB at 4-bit: the weights (49,600 parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.
What is the cheapest GPU to run beit-matching on?
At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.
Can I use beit-matching commercially?
Yes. beit-matching is released under BSD 3-Clause License. The BSD 3-Clause License is permissive. It permits commercial use and redistribution with the copyright notice, and forbids using the authors' names to endorse derived products without permission.
What is beit-matching's context length?
128 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.
