TinyWord2-128k

TinyWord-v2-128k

TinyWord-v2 is a revamped and retrained version of v1. In v1, we noticed that it didn't use weight-tying, which ate up half of its parameters. This was misleading as it was effectively the same size as MicroWord. Anyway, this version achives much better performace compared to v1.

Architecture

Training

TinyWord-v2 was trained on 753,232 unique words (entries), 3,225,398 tokens, and 7,022,310 characters. ~660k of those words are English, while ~90k of them are Spanish.

Dataset

Hardware

TinyWord-v2 was trained on a NVIDA RTX 2060 6GB for 6 epochs with a batch size of 32.

Training Results

Generations

Prompt: w

Output:

wrtervulatoration

Prompt: app

Output:

appatating

Prompt: a

Output:

ay's

Prompt: z

Output:

aceae

Limitations

1. It does not generate sentences, prose, code, or anything besides a single word-like sequence.
2. It cannot reason or produce complex language.
3. Generated words may not be real. The goal isn't real word generation but reflecting the lexicon and morphology of the English and Spanish languages through tiny language models.
4. Output is non-deterministic. The same prompt can produce very different completions across runs.
