Dynamic continual learning model trained on 8GB VRAM

mini-AGI is a byte-level language model that trains from scratch on a single 8 GB VRAM GPU and keeps learning from a continuous stream of text. Weights live on disk and are paged onto the GPU as needed, so model size is bounded by disk spac

A visualization of the attention mechanism in LLMs.

An interactive visualization of the attention mechanism in a small large language model. Hover or tap any generated token to see which earlier tokens influenced it, with opacity scaled by attention weight across all heads and layers. Exampl

A research workspace where the agent can build its own panes

Masala, called Panel until September 2026, is a research workspace where an AI agent works beside you. Chat, files, PDFs and notebooks sit in one dock, and the agent can create custom viewers and apps when it needs them. It's an early build
