This is a 8-layer decoder-only Transformer trained on the TinyStories (karpathy/tinystories-gpt4-clean) dataset for 4.0 hours of wall-clock training time. The model achieves a validation bits-per-byte (val_bpb) of 0.359093 (perplexity: 1.2826) on the held-out validation set.
Data is packed into fixed-length sequences of 2048 tokens using the nanochat-compatible BPE tokenizer (16,384 vocabulary, 9 special tokens). No additional filtering or deduplication is applied beyond what is in the source dataset.
1Once upon a time, decided to explore the forest.
2As the explored, the forest became bigger and bigger. The leaves of the trees were so big that the animals started to get scared.
3The animals noticed the scary creatures and started to run away.
