Hello everyone! Happy to say that MiniCoder-1 is now in the instruction tuning phase. It is a 216M~ parameter model trained on 16B tokens. It ran on an RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell gpu for around 24~ hours. Now we will do SFT and launch as beta while we work on the final important DPO and RLHF phases. Our goal is a small extreemly fast on device coding assistant with CoT reasoning* baked in! - Bc-AI on behalf of the Smilyai-Labs team
*it is a small model so the reasoning quality wont be as good obviously!
We have updated the BananaMind Base Bench leaderboard! We now have these benchmark cards, they make it way easier to see which models are actually good! We've also added the model advisor. It asks you what you want to use the model for and the parameter range and gives you the best model for your task!
