TeenyTinyStories-33M

by YF ableian/TeenyTinyStories-33M

TeenyTinyStories-33M is an open-weight model for text generation from YF, released under Apache License 2.0. It has 69M parameters and a 2,048-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 0.2 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index.

GPT-Neo storyteller (nominal 33M; actual 68,514,048 parameters including the 50,257-token embedding) trained on TeenyTinyStories (ableian/TeenyTinyStories) batch 1280 x 512, constant LR 5e-4, weight decay 0.1, betas (0.9, 0.95), clip 1.0.

Questions About TeenyTinyStories-33M

How much GPU memory does TeenyTinyStories-33M need?

About 0.2 GB at 16-bit and 0 GB at 4-bit: the weights (69M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run TeenyTinyStories-33M 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 TeenyTinyStories-33M commercially?

Yes. TeenyTinyStories-33M is released under Apache License 2.0. The Apache License 2.0 is a permissive open-source license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution. It requires keeping the license and copyright notices and any NOTICE file, stating significant changes, and it includes an express patent grant from contributors.

What is TeenyTinyStories-33M's context length?

2,048 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

Convergent Intelligence

A 69M parameter causal language model built on the Mixture-of-Attentions (MoA) architecture — distance-based metric attention that respects the triangle inequality by construction, not approximation. Every attention head operates in a proper metric space. The geometry is enforced, not hoped for. Standard transformers compute attention as a dot product: Q·Kᵀ. This has no geometric meaning — it's a bilinear form, not a distance. Two tokens can be "close" by dot product while violating basic metric properties. MoA replaces this with negative squared distance under a learned diagonal Mahalanobis metric, then enforces the triangle inequality through a regularizer over random triples sampled…

AobanZ

Lightning is a small, autoregressive transformer which utilizes FlashAttention and MHA. This model is trained on a variety of books from a dataset(300 MB). This is the expanded version of Lightning-30m. Lightning utilizes FlashAttention and AdamW for performance and capability. Lightning is designed to provide quick, coherent outputs, improved with a larger size and weight. Lightning is intended to be used for research, analysis and fine-tuning, stories and other. It is not intended to be used for professional advice, real writing or any kind of heavy work as generated outputs may be incorrect. Lightning can be used directly for text generation, experimentation, and conversational…

cRia-LM-75M

Shreyan Mohanty

cRia-LM-75M is a 75.7M-parameter base language model built as a Relaxed Recursive Transformer (RRT). It uses a shared 11-layer recurrent block evaluated twice, with pass-specific LoRA parameters on the second traversal. Training was carried out in three stages. Stage 1 established the 2K base model over 10B tokens. Stage 2 continued training with a 2B-token budget and a capability-focused data curriculum; the released Stage 2 checkpoint is step 10,000, corresponding to about 1.31B continuation tokens. Stage 3 extended the context window from 2,048 to 4,096 tokens with a 50M-token run on codelion/sutra-1B. The released checkpoint continues from that long-context stage with 35 learned…
