This is a 8-layer decoder-only Transformer trained on the TinyStories (karpathy/tinystories-gpt4-clean) dataset for 0.2 hours of wall-clock training time. The model achieves a validation bits-per-byte (val_bpb) of 0.567264 (perplexity: 1.4817) 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, there was a big bell in the yard. The bell would ring every day and when the bell ring, the bell would ring and the bell would ring when it ringed.
2One day, a little boy came to the yard. He saw the bell
