Fleck-M-500K-Base

Fleck-M-500K-Base

Fleck-M-500K-Base — a compact decoder-only language model trained from scratch on 100M real tokenizer tokens.

• 497,288 parameters
• BF16 SafeTensors weights
• Factorized tied embedding with a rank-64 embedding projection
• Designed as a small research model for local inference on Apple Silicon

Model Details

Training

This is the immutable Base-100M parent used to produce the independent Fleck-M-500K instruction-tuned model.

Benchmark Results

The Base-100M checkpoint was evaluated with the corrected zero-shot aggregation protocol. This minimal public bundle does not include the evaluation artifact; the table below is a reference result for the released Base model.

Evaluation conditions: zero-shot, no chat template, FP32 evaluation, Apple Silicon MPS.

Tokenizer

• Fleck-Tokenizer-2048
• Byte-level BPE
• Vocabulary size: 2,048

Special Tokens

Usage

The bundle includes a self-contained inference.py; it does not import the Fleck-LM checkout. The accompanying config.json, generation_config.json, and tokenizer_config.json describe the custom architecture and generation/tokenizer defaults; standard transformers.AutoModel loading is not supported. Install the three runtime dependencies and run a single greedy continuation:

python -m pip install torch safetensors tokenizers
python inference.py \
  --ckpt model.safetensors \
  --tokenizer tokenizer.json \
  --prompt "Hello, world" \
  --max-tokens 32 \
  --device cpu

The script reads and runs the BF16 checkpoint without an FP32 model copy, validates every SafeTensors key, shape, and dtype, and uses FP32 only for attention score/softmax and tied-logit accumulation. The model implements its factorized tied embedding/logits, effective-depth execution A → B → A → B, half-split RoPE, GQA, physical KV caches, RMSNorms, and greedy generation without repository-local imports.

Limitations

This model is extremely small and is intended for research and local experimentation rather than general-purpose language generation. It may produce repetitions, malformed text, weak factual answers, or incoherent continuations. Benchmark scores should be interpreted in the context of the 497,288 parameter count.
