A Small Model is All You Need. Meet palmer-006 (90M)
After 3 years of experiments, we are finally releasing our flagship tiny model: **palmer-006**.
If you are building for edge hardware, SBCs (Raspberry Pi, etc.), or low-power devices, this is for you. Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's idea of a self-contained "cognitive core," we wanted to see how much power we could pack into a sub-100M parameter footprint.
🧠 **How we "Palmerized" it:** We believe in starting our experiments with the absolute strongest baseline possible. 1. Light fine-tuning on highly curated data 2. Model merging 3. Another light fine-tuning round 4. Adjusted Mamba for maximum token speed ⚡️
⚠️ *Note: This is a foundational language model. It has not been instruction-tuned yet!*
Also, since this needs instruction tuning next to become a chat assistant—**what dataset would you recommend we use for the instruct tune?**

Introducing Inflect-v2, two exceptionally small, open-weight English TTS models at just 3.9M and 9.3M parameters. Both generate speech multiple times faster than real-time on CPU. Despite their size, Inflect-v2 delivers quality that is competitive with much larger lightweight TTS systems, including KittenTTS, Piper, and Supertonic-3.
CPU, CUDA, PyTorch, and ONNX are supported. Apache 2.0.
