training status

⚠️ This model is undertrained. Chinchilla-optimal training would require ~19000 steps on ~10B tokens. This checkpoint was saved at step ~5000 (~26% of optimal), due to compute budget constraints. The loss curve was still descending at the time of stopping.

Metric	Value
Steps completed	5281 / 18965
Tokens seen	~2.9B / 10B
Final val bpb	~1.21
HellaSwag (0-shot)	~38% (random = 25%)

architecture

The model is a 12-layer causal transformer with the following architecture:

Component	Implementation
Positional encoding	RoPE (base=50000)
Attention	GQA + QK Norm + FlashAttention
FFN	SwiGLU (8/3 x n_embd hidden dim)
Normalization	RMSNorm
Sequence mixing	Causal depthwise Conv1d (kernel=3)
Sparsity	MoE (8 experts, top-2)
Optimizer	Muon + AdamW

usage

Download model.py from the repository alongside the weights, then:

python

import torch
from tokenizers import Tokenizer
from model import LLM, LLMConfig

device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_pretrained("rudyon/linnet-497M")
model = LLM(LLMConfig(depth=12, vocab_size=32768))
state_dict = torch.load("pytorch_model.bin", map_location=device)
model.load_state_dict(state_dict)
model.eval()
print(model.generate("Hello!", enc=tokenizer))
