Welcome to FluidAI-0.7B, a 700 million parameter multimodal foundation model built completely from scratch using the Fluidic Wave Architecture.
Unlike conventional multimodal systems that rely on separate language and vision encoders connected through additional fusion modules, FluidAI processes both text and visual information within a unified neural sequence. Images are converted into structured visual tokens that flow through the same architecture as text, allowing a single model to learn language and spatial reasoning together.
This repository documents the first public release of the FluidAI project. The model was trained over a continuous 60-hour pre-training run on a single NVIDIA T4 GPU, processing approximately 138 million training tokens.
FluidAI was independently designed, engineered, and trained by Jershone Terin.
🌊 The Fluidic Wave Architecture
The Fluidic Wave Architecture explores an alternative approach to multimodal intelligence by representing language and vision within one continuous neural sequence.
Instead of maintaining separate neural networks for text and images, FluidAI converts visual inputs into structured token sequences that are processed alongside text using the same neural architecture.
Key Features
🌊 Unified Text & Vision Processing — Text and image tokens share the same sequence and neural architecture.
🧠 Native Spatial Understanding — Images are represented as structured visual grids, enabling the model to learn spatial relationships directly.
🎨 Bidirectional Multimodal Generation — The architecture is capable of both interpreting images and generating visual outputs from its learned internal representations without relying on a separate diffusion model. But remember image gen is not the best.
⚡ Research-Oriented Design — Built as a foundation architecture for experimentation, fine-tuning, and future multimodal research.
🧩 Tokenizer & Vocabulary
FluidAI uses the classic GPT-2 Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) tokenizer as its text tokenizer while extending the vocabulary for multimodal processing and conversational formatting.

Important
When loading the raw model weights, you must register these three additional tokens before inference or fine-tuning so that the tokenizer vocabulary matches the model's embedding matrix.

FluidAI was independently designed, implemented, and trained by Jershone Terin.
All model weights were randomly initialized and trained from scratch. The model uses a GPT-2 Byte-Pair Encoding tokenizer with three additional multimodal tokens while introducing the novel Fluidic Wave Architecture for unified language and vision processing.
This repository represents the first public release of the FluidAI project. Future releases will expand the architecture, improve multimodal capabilities, and provide comprehensive benchmark evaluations.
