Z80-μLM is a retro-computing AI project that demonstrates a tiny language model (Z80-μLM) engineered to run on an 8-bit Z80 CPU by aggressively quantizing weights down to 2-bit precision. The repository provides a complete workflow where you train or fine-tune conversational models in Python, then export them into a format that can be executed on classic Z80 systems. A key deliverable is producing CP/M-compatible .COM binaries, enabling a genuinely vintage “chat with your computer” experience on real hardware or accurate emulators. ...

Moondream is a creative code project and visual experimentation repository that explores generative graphics, aesthetic patterns, and interactive art through code. The project typically showcases procedural visualizations, algorithmic designs, and artistic experiments that push the boundaries of what can be expressed with programming languages and rendering frameworks. While the exact nature can vary by commit or branch, Moondream’s work often blends geometry, color theory, and motion to...

...Its key idea is a specialized distillation strategy—including a learnable “distillation token”—that lets a transformer learn effectively from a CNN or transformer teacher on modest-scale datasets. The project provides compact ViT variants (Tiny/Small/Base) that achieve excellent accuracy–throughput trade-offs, making transformers practical beyond massive pretraining regimes. Training involves carefully tuned augmentations, regularization, and optimization schedules to stabilize learning and improve sample efficiency. The repo offers pretrained checkpoints, reference scripts, and ablation studies that clarify which ingredients matter most for data-efficient ViT training.

ConvNeXt V2 is an evolution of the ConvNeXt architecture that co-designs convolutional networks alongside self-supervised learning. The V2 version introduces a fully convolutional masked autoencoder (FCMAE) framework where parts of the image are masked and the network reconstructs the missing content, marrying convolutional inductive bias with powerful pretraining. A key innovation is a new Global Response Normalization (GRN) layer added to the ConvNeXt backbone, which enhances feature...

granite-timeseries-ttm-r2 is part of IBM’s TinyTimeMixers (TTM) series—compact, pre-trained models for multivariate time series forecasting. Unlike massive foundation models, TTM models are designed to be lightweight yet powerful, with only ~805K parameters, enabling high performance even on CPU or single-GPU machines. The r2 version is pre-trained on ~700M samples (r2.1 expands to ~1B), delivering up to 15% better accuracy than the r1 version. TTM supports both zero-shot and fine-tuned...

Ministral 3 3B Base 2512 is the smallest model in the Ministral 3 family, offering a compact yet capable multimodal architecture suited for lightweight AI applications. It combines a 3.4B-parameter language model with a 0.4B vision encoder, enabling both text and image understanding in a tiny footprint. As the base pretrained model, it is not fine-tuned for instructions or reasoning, making it the ideal foundation for custom post-training, domain adaptation, or specialized downstream tasks. The model is fully optimized for edge deployment and can run locally on a single GPU, fitting in 16GB VRAM in BF16 or less than 8GB when quantized. ...
