Organizations

Howdy,
CompactAI-O is launching a tiny Model Golf, and the winner walks away with $50 in RunPod credits. Monthly. Every month. Show up, build, somebody wins.

What it is

Build the best language model you can under 100 million parameters, with at least a 1028-token context window. That's it. Any architecture, any tokenizer, any training scheme you can dream up at 3am. The only catch is it's gotta be open source (MIT, GPL, Apache, AGPL) take your pick.

It scratches the same itch as a Kaggle comp without the dataset\leaderboard nonsense. No fixed benchmark to game. No llama.cpp compatibility hoops. If you wanna train a 50M-param MoE with five experts and a tokenizer built on cookbooks, you can do that. Nothing stopping you.

The rules are listed in the discord and on the organization page if you're interested.

Why $50????

It's symbolic. It ain't gonna make anyone rich. But it's enough to cover a weekend of GPU time, enough to keep enthusiasts coming back, and not so much that it pulls in people who are just there for the money. Enthusiasts build interesting things. Interesting things move the field forward. A little incentive. I'd do it for $50 lol.

How to join

First round opens soon. Landing page is here:

Excited to see what yall come up with. ♥
