I trained a GPT-2 1.5B Subreddit Simulator in 3 days using 88 TPUs

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

I trained a GPT-2 1.5B Subreddit Simulator in 3 days using 88 TPUs launched on December 25, 2019 with 10 votes, #801 of 2,946 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.

In plain words

This project demonstrates training a 1.5 billion parameter GPT-2 language model on subreddit data in three days using 88 TPUs. The model generates text mimicking subreddit writing styles and discussions. It is aimed at machine learning practitioners and those interested in large-scale neural network training. The standout aspect is the rapid training timeline achieved through significant computational resources, showcasing the feasibility of large model training within a short timeframe.

    Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources2022 · beta.sayhello.so · ▲318

    We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions/retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer. The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge…

    I'm sure folks here have seen pastebins a thousand times. There's no innovation left in this space – and that's kind of the point. When I wanted to self-host a pastebin, every option I found was too much. Git-based version control, OAuth, elaborate admin panels. I just wanted something I could deploy in under a minute with a CLI that actually works. So I built pbnj (yes, like the sandwich). What it is: - A minimal, beautiful pastebin with syntax highlighting for 100+ languages - One-click deploy to Cloudflare (free tier gives you ~100,000 pastes) - CLI-first: pbnj file.py → get a URL, copied…

    After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game! Website: http://angeldu.st My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks. The client is programmed in C++…
