# slimGPT — 124M Parameter GPT-Style Language Model
|
||||
|
||||
**slimGPT** is a 124-million-parameter autoregressive language model built from scratch using a clean, modular PyTorch codebase. It follows the GPT-2 small architecture and was trained entirely on consumer-accessible hardware, demonstrating that capable language model training is achievable without large-scale infrastructure.

## Training Infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
The model was trained on a single-GPU cloud instance with the following specifications:
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Specification |
|
||||
|------------------|--------------------------------------|
|
||||
| **OS** | Debian GNU/Linux 12 (Bookworm) |
|
||||
| **CPU** | Intel Xeon @ 2.20 GHz (4 vCPUs, 2 physical cores, 2 threads/core) |
|
||||
| **RAM** | 16 GiB |
|
||||
| **Storage** | 60 GB NVMe |
|
||||
| **GPU** | NVIDIA L4 |
|
||||
| **VRAM** | 24 GB |
|
||||
| **NVIDIA Driver**| 550.54.15 |
|
||||
|
||||
Training was completed without any distributed setup, A single NVIDIA L4 GPU was sufficient for the full training run.

|
||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
|
||||
slimGPT follows the standard GPT-2 decoder-only Transformer architecture:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Token + positional embeddings** — learned embeddings over the GPT-2 BPE vocabulary with 1024-token positional encodings
|
||||
- **12 Transformer blocks** — each with multi-head causal self-attention (12 heads) and a position-wise feed-forward network
|
||||
- **Pre-norm design** — LayerNorm applied before attention and MLP sub-layers
|
||||
- **Weight tying** — input embedding and output projection weights are tied
|
||||
- **Causal masking** — autoregressive, left-to-right generation
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
|
||||
|
||||
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("samueljayasingh/slimGPT")
|
||||
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("samueljayasingh/slimGPT")
|
||||
|
||||
ids = tokenizer("The meaning of life is", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
|
||||
output = model.generate(ids, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, temperature=0.8, top_p=0.9)
|
||||
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pipeline API
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from transformers import pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
generator = pipeline("text-generation", model="samueljayasingh/slimGPT")
|
||||
result = generator("Once upon a time,", max_new_tokens=80, do_sample=True)
|
||||
print(result[0]["generated_text"])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Serving with vLLM
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install vllm
|
||||
vllm serve "samueljayasingh/slimGPT"
|
||||
|
||||
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
--data '{
|
||||
"model": "samueljayasingh/slimGPT",
|
||||
"prompt": "The future of AI is",
|
||||
"max_tokens": 100,
|
||||
"temperature": 0.7
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Intended Use
|
||||
|
||||
This model is intended for:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Research and experimentation** — studying language model behavior, attention patterns, and generation dynamics at the 124M scale
|
||||
- **Educational purposes** — understanding GPT-style architectures by working with a fully transparent, from-scratch implementation
|
||||
- **Prototyping** — lightweight text generation for downstream tasks, fine-tuning experiments, or benchmarking
|
||||
|
||||
### Out-of-Scope Use
|
||||
|
||||
- Production or safety-critical applications
|
||||
- Tasks requiring factual accuracy or up-to-date knowledge
|
||||
- Any use that relies on instruction-following or alignment — this is a base language model with no RLHF or instruction tuning
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
- Trained for only **5,000 iterations** — the model is capable of coherent text continuation but has not converged to the quality of fully trained GPT-2
|
||||
- **No fine-tuning or alignment** — outputs are raw continuations and may be incoherent, biased, or off-topic
|
||||
- **English-only** — trained on English text; performance on other languages is not evaluated
|
||||
- **Context window of 1024 tokens** — longer documents are truncated
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Training Details
|
||||
|
||||
The model was trained using a clean, readable PyTorch implementation with the following highlights:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Optimizer**: AdamW with cosine learning rate decay and linear warmup
|
||||
- **Tokenizer**: GPT-2 BPE (via `tiktoken`)
|
||||
- **Data**: OpenWebText-style dataset sampled in token chunks of length 1024
|
||||
- **Mixed precision**: `torch.autocast` with `bfloat16` on the NVIDIA L4 GPU
|
||||
- **Gradient clipping**: Applied to stabilize training
|
||||
- **Checkpointing**: Best model saved based on validation loss
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Training Runtime
|
||||
|
||||
- **Hardware**: NVIDIA L4 (24 GB VRAM), 4 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM
|
||||
- **Training iterations**: 5,000
|
||||
- **Total training time**: ~18 hours
|
||||
- **Average time per iteration**: ~13 seconds
|
||||

## Evaluation
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value |
|
||||
|----------------|---------|
|
||||
| Best Val Loss | 3.3079 |
|
||||
| Training Iters | 5,000 |
|
||||
|
||||
Perplexity can be approximated as `exp(3.3079) ≈ 27.3`. For reference, a fully trained GPT-2 small achieves a perplexity of roughly 18–22 on OpenWebText; slimGPT sits in a reasonable range for its training budget.
