Sparticle62ops/pssa
A custom AI architecture being developed in rust
PSSA is a small language model built from scratch in Rust with no ML framework. Instead of a transformer's attention, it uses a recurrent state-space core, an episodic memory bank, and in-run plastic weight updates with consolidation. Its README reports better training and held-out loss and ~12x faster CPU generation versus a parameter-matched transformer.
Why now: It was posted on Hacker News as a non-transformer LM written from scratch in Rust, with head-to-head benchmarks against a transformer, drawing attention amid interest in transformer alternatives.
Who it is for: ML researchers and Rust developers curious about alternative language model architectures and from-scratch implementations.
