What it takes to serve qwen2.5-0.5b-topo-governed-cbp-fineweb (494M 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](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus), read Oct 7, 2026.

### Qwen2.5-0.5B-Topo-Governed-CBP-FineWeb

An open-weights causal transformer checkpoint evaluating the synthesis of Continual Backpropagation (CBP) and the Topological Governor (TOPO-2026) under non-stationary online web streaming.

This model validates that an autoregressive foundation model can continuously adapt to streaming data without experiencing representational drift or catastrophic forgetting on silicon.

- Base Model: Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B
- Governing Framework: TOPO-2026 Topological Governor
- Training Protocol: Continual Backpropagation with dual-phase manifold projection
- Streaming Dataset: HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu (sample-10BT)
- Optimization Horizon: 5,000 continuous gradient steps
- Execution Seed: 123 (deterministic across Python, NumPy, PyTorch, and CUDA)
- Companion Code: [GitHub: CDL_CBP_TOPO.ipynb](https://github.com/frank-morales2020/AST/blob/main/CDL_CBP_TOPO.ipynb)
