## Problems I've solved
|
| 103 |
-
|
| 104 |
-
1) Instant generation of a brand new GGUF file (takes seconds to minutes for larger models, done during the trials so there's no downtime.)
|
| 105 |
-
2) Natural selection replicated with great success, in just a few rounds we see success using a specific technique.
|
| 106 |
-
3) All done in quantised space without ever making a safetensors file. After, the GGUF can be reversed to safetensors.
|
| 107 |
-
4) Tensor analysis techniques taking into account the architecture of the model and the shape of it.
|
| 108 |
-
5) Much more that is unrelated to the scope of this model, but it's what made this possible - a lot of analysis helped along with thousands of files of data about models.
|
| 109 |
-
6) **This doesn't add to the model. It replaces parts of the base model. The natural selection writes over the models data, it doesn't add more to it, its genetics mutate.**

# Vulcan-1-Coder (GGUF)
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
+

|
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
+
A 2.5B coding and reasoning model built by using Integer Space Artificial Selection on **[CherryPit 1.2](https://huggingface.co/DRUPEs/CherryPit-1.2-2B)**,
|
| 40 |
+
an already excellent model made by the team at DRUPEs. This is a technique I created to solve many problems I faced when wanting to create models on a basic
|
| 41 |
+
graphics card. So we work in integer space, rather than weight space. Vulcan is an **Integer Space** model: it was generated and tested as a `.gguf`. Details
|
| 42 |
+
of the method will be published later and released for all. I'm working hard to put everything together.
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
**Made in an afternoon.** Vulcan was produced in a single afternoon along with about 30 other models (12 in its
|
| 45 |
class), all generated and tested in integer space, on a laptop with a **6 GB VRAM** GPU, using only my own tools.
|
| 46 |
No training runs, no cluster.
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
+
Every run, lasting just a few hours, resulted in success. The techique can work for all types of models. It's a data-led technique where the training is
|
| 49 |
+
squeezed out rather than training it on more data. If the information exists in the model, we select for it.
|

## Things to come - progress
|
| 120 |
+
|
| 121 |
+
#### Paper and files released - 50%
|
| 122 |
+
|
| 123 |
+
Hand writing the paper and hand-making the diagrams without AI so I'll release it as soon as I can as a pre-print.
|
| 124 |
+
I will remove secrets from the folder and clean it up. Folder currently has thousands of files and I'd say about 25% are relevant.
|
| 125 |
+
|
| 126 |
+
#### More benchmarks - ?
|
| 127 |
+
|
| 128 |
+
Whenever I feel up to it, adding some now.
|
| 129 |
+
|
| 130 |
+
#### Quant perplexity-solver
|
| 131 |
+
|
| 132 |
+
Find the quants with the best perplexity
|
| 133 |
+
|
| 134 |
+
#### Further processing - 30%
|
| 135 |
+
|
| 136 |
+
I've discovered another technique that works to post-train one of these models. I'm still perfecting it but I'm already getting good results. I think the models can be optimised further.
|
| 137 |
+
|
| 138 |
+
#### Qwen 27b - 20%
|
| 139 |
+
|
| 140 |
+
Started the analysis process.
|
| 141 |
+
|
| 142 |
+
#### STEM - 50%
|
| 143 |
+
|
| 144 |
+
Static Embedding. **Experimental native runtime** for the `.stem` model format and embedding engine. The current runtime remains intentionally narrow:
|
| 145 |
+
**static embedding tables, token IDs, FP32 or INT8, mean pooling and optional L2**. It is not yet a general-purpose encoder/ONNX/GGUF runner.
|
| 146 |
+
It creates a .STEM format that is faster, smaller, and more accurate.
