tyness-boe-1.2b-pre-alpha-2-instruct

by Jason Jiménez Cruz jasonjimnz/tyness-boe-1.2b-pre-alpha-2-instruct

tyness-boe-1.2b-pre-alpha-2-instruct is an open-weight model for question answering from Jason Jiménez Cruz, released under other. It has 1.2B parameters and a 128,000-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 2.8 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index.

Second pre-alpha from Tyness Train, an agent-guided fine-tuning harness for small LLMs on low-VRAM GPUs. This model is RAG-style grounded: every prompt carries excerpts of the relevant norm, and the model is trained to answer only from that context.

Model Card

Second pre-alpha from Tyness Train, an agent-guided fine-tuning harness for small LLMs on low-VRAM GPUs. This model is RAG-style grounded: every prompt carries excerpts of the relevant norm, and the model is trained to answer only from that context. Three iterations established that SFT alone teaches format, not facts on 1.2B models: legalize-es, with teacher-generated ChatML entries from es-legal-priv. 10 BOE articles, 1,148 train + 20 held-out eval items: - Each entry cites specific precepts (articuloscitados); those sections are extracted from the norm markdown and embedded as a CONTEXTO block in the user turn (up to 9,000 chars). - The system prompt enforces grounded behavior: answer…

Pretrained model on English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It was introduced in this paper and first released in this repository. This model is uncased: it does not make a difference between english and English. Differently to other BERT models, this model was trained with a new technique: Whole Word Masking. In this case, all of the tokens corresponding to a word are masked at once. The overall masking rate remains the same. The training is identical -- each masked WordPiece token is predicted independently. After pre-training, this model was fine-tuned on the SQuAD dataset with one of our fine-tuning scripts.
