boris-50M-superlight-cubscout

boris-50M-superlight-cubscout (Boris) is a lightweight, ~50M parameter text generation model trained entirely on the roneneldan/TinyStories dataset.

It was developed entirely on one NVIDIA RTX 3060 in ~2 hours. Boris's primary use case is generating bad children's short stories.

Traning Details:

• Trained on TinyStories (1000 steps)
• Trained using one NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB VRAM)
• Precision: FP16
• Final Traning Loss: ~1.76

---

Advice:

1. Set max tokens to ~50-100.
2. This is a base model, and does not know how to stop. Add stop sequences like "the end." or ###
