A developer details their experience building a custom 6.4 million parameter transformer model from scratch for a recipe application called Rasaveda. Instead of relying on external APIs like OpenAI or Hugging Face, the developer trained the model using PyTorch on a single Colab T4 GPU. This approach allowed for a self-contained, dependency-free inference path, avoiding API keys, rate limits, and per-token costs. The model was trained in two stages: first on WikiText-2 for general language understanding, and then fine-tuned on specific recipe tasks, with the entire training process taking approximately 40 minutes.
