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 Sep 18, 2026.

Model Card

This model is a fine-tuned derivative of google/gemma-3-270m, adapted using the Convergent Intelligence sparse fine-tuning setup originally tested on Liquid Foundation Models. The checkpoint was trained on reasoning-style English examples from angrygiraffe/claude-opus-4.6-4.7-reasoning-8.7k using a targeted adaptation strategy and the custom CIxOpt optimizer framework. The goal of this model is to test whether a compact Gemma 3 270M backbone can be shaped toward reasoning-style text generation through selective parameter participation rather than broad full-model modification. This is an experimental research checkpoint intended for evaluation, local testing, optimizer research, and…

Questions About Gemma-3-270m-Opus-Distil

How much GPU memory does Gemma-3-270m-Opus-Distil need?

About 0.6 GB at 16-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (268M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run Gemma-3-270m-Opus-Distil 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 Gemma-3-270m-Opus-Distil commercially?

Yes, with conditions. Gemma-3-270m-Opus-Distil is released under Gemma Terms of Use. Gemma models are released under Google's Gemma Terms of Use, which permit commercial use and redistribution subject to the Gemma Prohibited Use Policy, whose restrictions must be passed on to anyone the model is distributed to.

What is Gemma-3-270m-Opus-Distil's context length?

262,144 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

vlt5-base-keywords

VoiceLab.ai

Results on demo model (different generation method, one model per language): Keywords generated with vlT5-base-keywords: encoder-decoder architecture, vlT5, keyword generation, scientific articles corpus The biggest advantage is the transferability of the vlT5 model, as it works well on all domains and types of text. The downside is that the text length and the number of keywords are similar to the training data: the text piece of an abstract length generates approximately 3 to 5 keywords. It works both extractive and abstractively. Longer pieces of text must be split into smaller chunks, and then propagated to the model. The model was trained on a POSMAC corpus. Polish Open Science…

pythia-160m

EleutherAI

The Pythia Scaling Suite is a collection of models developed to facilitate interpretability research (see paper). It contains two sets of eight models of sizes 70M, 160M, 410M, 1B, 1.4B, 2.8B, 6.9B, and 12B. For each size, there are two models: one trained on the Pile, and one trained on the Pile after the dataset has been globally deduplicated. All 8 model sizes are trained on the exact same data, in the exact same order. We also provide 154 intermediate checkpoints per model, hosted on Hugging Face as branches. The Pythia model suite was deliberately designed to promote scientific research on large language models, especially interpretability research. Despite not centering downstream…

Suggest a title and description for any text. On-device titles and descriptions: a short factual title and a one- to two-sentence description for any passage of text. Swift (requirements) Then add the Title product to your target. The MLX trait is required: without it the module compiles as a stub. Get a title and a one or two sentence description for any passage of text, on device. Fine-tuned on transcript clips, but it works on any prose. The register is deliberately plain, with no emoji, no hashtags and no clickbait, and a description is meant to identify this passage rather than its topic. An MLX model directory. Load the folder, not a single file. The chat template is not incidental. A…

SMOLM2Prover

Convergent Intelligence

SmolLM2Prover is a specialized, fine-tuned version of prithivMLmods/SmolLM2-CoT-360M. While retaining the strong conversational abilities of its base model, this version has been specifically enhanced to excel at deep thinking, logical reasoning, and higher-level mathematics, with a focus on generating step-by-step proofs and explanations (Chain-of-Thought). The model was fine-tuned using multiple rounds of Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with the TRL library on a curated dataset, enhancing its ability to follow complex instructions and reason through problems. This model is intended to be used for text generation tasks that require logical reasoning or advanced conversation. The easiest way…
