A developer has created a custom quantized large language model (LLM) with 250 million parameters, trained on 30 billion tokens. This model is designed for extreme efficiency, deploying at just 60 MB and requiring minimal RAM, allowing it to run on standard laptop CPUs at approximately 400 tokens per second without a GPU. It features a unique long-context mechanism that compresses older tokens to disk, enabling access to up to 100 million tokens of history, though its reasoning capabilities are limited to retrieval from this extended cache.
