A NEW MODEL PROJECT
PCKMIND · SMALL LANGUAGE MODEL

My third language model,
PckMind.

I’ve just started work on my third language model, PckMind. I’ll share the development process, experiments and progress here.

CURRENT STATE · PCKMIND V0.1

How much can a 64K-parameter model say?.

PckMind is the third small language model I’ve developed. I use my first model, PckBot, for my own automation work; the second was trained for a company. I plan to release PckMind publicly. Built with PyTorch, this GPT-style decoder-only Transformer can currently generate short text, but it cannot yet hold a coherent conversation. Sometimes it even sounds like bird language 🐦😅 I’m sharing these outputs to show the development process as it is and how the model changes over time.

This first version is a working but limited starting point. In future versions, I want to improve the architecture and training data so the model can produce more meaningful, consistent and longer responses.

Screenshot from the PckMind v0.1 chat terminal showing short, inconsistent Turkish responses
An example of PckMind v0.1’s current output. It can produce short replies, but cannot yet hold a consistent conversation.
THE NEXT VERSION

More Turkish, a stronger model.

For the next update, I plan to increase the parameter count and retrain the model on a broader Turkish dataset. The goal is a language model that understands Turkish better and responds more naturally. I’ll share progress and new experiments here.
