I just built a mini Kimi-K3 from Scratch under 250$. Already beats GPT-2 (124M)!

I pre-trained a 1.02-billion-parameter on Kimi K3 replica trained on 5.00 billion decontaminated tokens for $250. This model has 1.02 billion parameters, of which 145 million are a

I think people are seriously underestimating Qwen 3.8 27B.

Honestly, I think people are seriously underestimating Qwen 3.8 27B. It’s actually insane and, in some ways, genuinely competes with Opus 4.8, just not in the way people seem to think. The bigg

Qwen 3.8 27B is the moment I've been waiting for

I've been doing local LLMs for a while now, and the whole time I just wanted a model I could actually rely on for real work. My hardware is pretty limited, so most models were a dead end for what I

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on an independent conceptual paper and architecture called FRONT 3.1, and I wanted to share it with this community to get your techn

The author presents an independent conceptual paper and architecture called FRONT 3.1, arguing that current large language models lack any persistent internal somatic or affective state. They assert that cognition requir…
