Developer builds language model that fits in a boot sector
Original: Show HN: A language model that lives in a boot sector
A developer going by kerlenton has released BootGPT, a language model small enough to run directly from a computer's boot sector, the tiny section of disk normally reserved for starting an operating system. The project, shared on GitHub, is drawing attention for its extreme minimalism, as typical language models require gigabytes of memory. Commenters are discussing how such a compressed model works and what it could realistically do.
Why now: Running a language model in a boot sector is a striking technical feat that challenges assumptions about how much hardware these models need.
