GuppyLM

An educational small language model at roughly 8.7M parameters over 6 layers, styled to talk like a small fish, built as a vanilla transformer with no advanced optimisations so the architecture stays readable. Trains from scratch in about 5 minutes on a single T4 GPU via Colab on 60,000 synthetic conversation samples, and runs locally via CLI or in-browser over WebAssembly. 3,810 stars. One page describing it as MIT-licensed does not match GitHub's own API, which shows no licence file at all, so treat the licence as unconfirmed rather than MIT.
