Minimalist AI model trained on MNIST with under 1K parameters

A user on Reddit shared their experiment training a one-shot prototypical network with a minimal set of 984 learnable parameters on the MNIST dataset. The model achieved a validation accuracy of 62.46% by using only 10 images per class for training and a fixed vision pipeline with deterministic compression. The training process was notably efficient, taking approximately 90 seconds on a single core of a Dimensity 9300+ chipset. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates efficient training methods for small-scale AI models, potentially useful for resource-constrained environments.
