24 alternatives to Mini-AGI – Dynamic continual learning model trained on 8GB VRAM

Continual learning model trained from scratch on 8GB VRAM laptop with batch-1 stream of data. - volotat/mini-AGI

Mini-AGI is a continual learning model designed to train from scratch on resource-constrained hardware, specifically 8GB VRAM laptops. It processes data as a batch-1 stream, enabling learning on devices with limited… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Open Prompts is the dataset used to build krea.ai. The data comes from the Stability AI Discord and includes around 10M images from 2M prompts. You can use it for creating semantic search engines of prompts, training LLMs, fine-tuning image-to-text models like BLIP, or extracting insights from the data—like the most common combinations of modifiers.

    RISC-V's compressed instruction (RVC) extension is intended as an add-on to the regular, 32-bit instruction set, not a replacement or competitor. Its designers intended RVC instructions to be expanded into regular 32-bit RV32I equivalents via a pre-decoder. What happens if we explicitly architect a RISC-V CPU to execute RVC instructions, and "mop up" any RV32I instructions that aren't convenient via a microcode layer? What architectural optimizations are unlocked as a result? "Minimax" is an experimental RISC-V implementation intended to establish if an RVC-optimized CPU is, in practice, any…

    very much inspired by karpathy's microgpt of the same name. it's (by default) a 4000 param GPT/LLM/NN that learns to generate names. this is sorta an educational tool in that you can visualize the activations as they pass through the network, and click on things to get an explanation of them.

    I have a proposal that addresses long-term memory problems for LLMs when new data arrives continuously (cheaply!). The program involves no code, but two Markdown files. For retrieval, there is a semantic filesystem that makes it easy for LLMs to search using shell commands. It is currently a scrappy v1, but it works better than anything I have tried. Curious for any feedback!

    Hi everyone, I started working on nanoeuler after the ban of anthropic's fable because my ambition and dream is to work in the AI field in anthropic. The two interesting reasons that led me to create nanoeuler were (1) interfacing with llm does not mean understanding how they are composed and (2), working on llm with a very low-level layer to understand the correlation between parameters and data and growth of the model and how the GPU works and how some layers can be optimized. So I started working on it with a research aspect by making nanoeuler grow more and more but doing one step after…
