Open-weight model
prompt-engineering-efficient
by Timothy Thomas timothythomas90/prompt-engineering-efficient
prompt-engineering-efficient is an open-weight model from Timothy Thomas, released under MIT License. It has 24,832 parameters and a 256-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.
This is an exploratory note for Prompt Engineering. It records the intended comparison, likely confounders, and reproducibility requirements before any benchmark result is reported.
Runs On
What it takes to serve prompt-engineering-efficient (24,832 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 |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
| 8-bit | 0.0 GB | 0.0 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
| 4-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.

Notes on Prompt Engineering
Repository summary
This is an exploratory note for Prompt Engineering. It records the intended comparison, likely confounders, and reproducibility requirements before any benchmark result is reported.
What is covered
- the scope of the research question and likely confounders
- a proposed comparison with matched baselines
- concrete evaluation context such as task-appropriate public benchmarks named in the main note
- reproducibility checks, failure modes, and open questions
- topic-relevant references
How to read this repository
Start with summary.md for the full note. Sections labeled as plans or hypotheses should not be interpreted as experimental results. If results are added later, they should include dataset versions, commands, seeds, hardware, and raw logs.
Scope and limitations
The note is intentionally exploratory. It does not claim benchmark improvements, completed ablations, released code, or a trained checkpoint. References and proposed datasets provide a starting point for verification rather than evidence that the study has already been run.

Questions About prompt-engineering-efficient
How much GPU memory does prompt-engineering-efficient need?
About 0 GB at 16-bit and 0 GB at 4-bit: the weights (24,832 parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.
What is the cheapest GPU to run prompt-engineering-efficient 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 prompt-engineering-efficient commercially?
Yes. prompt-engineering-efficient is released under MIT License. The MIT License is a short permissive license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, provided the copyright notice and permission notice are included.
What is prompt-engineering-efficient's context length?
256 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.
