c

by Khtsly khtsly/c

c is an open-weight model for text generation from Khtsly. It has 1.5B parameters and a 1,048,576-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 3.6 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 2.9k downloads a month.

In-training periodic checkpoint (step 10100). Architecture: Kimi K3 mini port (KimiLinearForCausalLM). Not a finished model -- intermediate weights uploaded during training for safekeeping/diffing.

What it takes to serve c (1.5B parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

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 19, 2026.

Questions About c

How much GPU memory does c need?

About 3.6 GB at 16-bit and 0.9 GB at 4-bit: the weights (1.5B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run c 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.

What is c's context length?

1,048,576 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

OLMo-2-0425-1B

Ai2

We introduce OLMo 2 1B, the smallest model in the OLMo 2 family. OLMo 2 was pre-trained on OLMo-mix-1124 and uses Dolmino-mix-1124 for mid-training. OLMo 2 is the latest in a series of Open Language Models designed to enable the science of language models. We have released all code, checkpoints, logs, and associated training details on GitHub. The core models released in this batch include the following: OLMo 2 1B is supported in transformers v4.48 or higher: If using vLLM, you will need to install from the main branch until v0.7.4 is released. Please You can use OLMo with the standard HuggingFace transformers library: For faster performance, you can quantize the model using the following…

AMOR-GatedDeltaNet-1.5B

Haoran Zheng

Block 0 receives the backbone's final normalized output. Blocks 1 and 2 apply their own pre-normalization. A shared, embedding-tied LM head supplies all three entropy evaluations and the final output prediction. A complete recurrent backbone, refined by three entropy-gated attention blocks. For a smaller download, see the 180M and 440M models below. AMOR (Adaptive Metacognitive Output Router) uses the model's predictive uncertainty to decide where attention should refine its recurrent representation. Each appended block reads normalized output entropy, compares it with a frozen threshold at inference, and adds an attention update only where its gate fires. The recurrent backbone and…
