# 🚀 Novi AI

![Novi AI Banner](banner.jpg)

Novi AI is an experimental AI project focused on building **small, efficient language models** and exploring what can be achieved at the million-parameter scale.

## 🧠 Models

| Model          | Parameters | Training Tokens | Status     |
| -------------- | ---------: | --------------: | ---------- |
| **Novi-Nano**  |     1M |            300M | ✅ Released |
| **Novi-Micro** |     5M |              1B | ✅ Released |
| Novi-Mini      |        10M |             15B | 📋 Planned |
| Novi-Medium    |        25M |             25B | 📋 Planned |
| Novi-Pro       |        50M |             65B | 📋 Planned |
| Novi-Ultimate  |       100M |             75B | 📋 Planned |

### ⭐ Novi-Micro

**Novi-Micro** is the latest released Novi base model and the next step after Novi-Nano.

With approximately **5.04 million parameters**, Novi-Micro was trained from scratch on **1 billion tokens** with a **2,048-token context window**.

* 🧠 ~5.04M parameters
* 📚 1B training tokens
* 🔤 16,384-token vocabulary
* 📏 2,048-token context
* 🌐 FineWeb-HQ
* ⚡ GPU-accelerated training
* 🏗️ Custom BananaMind 2-style architecture
* 💻 Designed for lightweight experimentation

Novi-Micro is a **base language model**, intended primarily for research, experimentation, and further training rather than instruction-following.

### 🔹 Novi-Nano

Novi-Nano was the **first released Novi model**, introducing the project at the million-parameter scale.

* 🧠 ~1.26M parameters
* 📚 300M training tokens
* 🔤 8,192-token vocabulary
* 📏 256-token context
* 🌐 FineWeb-Edu, FineWeb-HQ, and SmolLM-Cosmopedia
* ⚡ GPU-accelerated training
* 💻 Designed for lightweight experimentation

Novi-Nano remains available as an earlier-generation experimental model.

## 🧪 Experimental Projects

* **Novi-Code** — Compact text + code model
* **Yuki** — Image-generation research
* **Super-Novi** — Intentionally chaotic experiment
* **Hyper-Novi** — Experimental model exploring unconventional training data

These projects are experimental and may change, be renamed, or never be released.

## 🛠️ Project Kairo

**Project Kairo** is the development codename for the Novi project.

It encompasses the development and experimentation behind the Novi model series, including Novi-Micro and future models.

## 📜 Project History

### AppleMind

Before Novi, there was **AppleMind** — an earlier experimental language-model project.

AppleMind is now **retired**, with Novi becoming the primary project.

**AppleMind → Novi AI → Novi-Nano → Novi-Micro** 🚀
