Model is 4K parameters - I don't know enough about that size of model to know if this impressive or not.

It's a trivial example. This won't be useful outside of a VERY specific domain without more parameters. Many people need to know about the bitter lesson.

Over time, I'm sure we'll be able to filter information better and get parameter counts down, but I wouldn't count on that within the next 6 months.

This is not an LLM obviously , it's just for generating random names. But interesting to think of the possibilities of truly tiny language models if there were connected together.
