coca-classification is an open-weight model from Ingrid Weber, released under BSD 3-Clause License. It has 49,600 parameters and a 512-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 small Coca implementation for Classification, packaged with an explicit configuration and an initialization checkpoint. The base variant is a reproducible starting point, not a trained model release.
Runs On
What it takes to serve coca-classification (49,600 parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.
| Precision | Weights | Memory needed | Cheapest setup | Per hour | Also fits |

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

| 8-bit | 0.0 GB | 0.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |

$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
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 novograd with a linear warmup 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 main.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 task-specific labeled split, 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 coca-classification
How much GPU memory does coca-classification 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 coca-classification 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 coca-classification commercially?
Yes. coca-classification 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 coca-classification's context length?
512 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.
