A developer has created a custom 8-bit architecture designed to train small large language models directly on a user's computer. This mini-computer, runnable from a folder, aims to demonstrate the feasibility of training neural networks from scratch on less conventional hardware, moving beyond typical retro-computing projects like Pong or Tetris. AI
