Howdy,
CompactAI-O is launching a tiny Model Golf, and the winner walks away with $50 in RunPod credits. Monthly. Every month. Show up, build, somebody wins.
What it is
Build the best language model you can under 100 million parameters, with at least a 1028-token context window. That's it. Any architecture, any tokenizer, any training scheme you can dream up at 3am. The only catch is it's gotta be open source (MIT, GPL, Apache, AGPL) take your pick.
It scratches the same itch as a Kaggle comp without the dataset\leaderboard nonsense. No fixed benchmark to game. No llama.cpp compatibility hoops. If you wanna train a 50M-param MoE with five experts and a tokenizer built on cookbooks, you can do that. Nothing stopping you.
The rules are listed in the discord and on the organization page if you're interested.
Why $50????
It's symbolic. It ain't gonna make anyone rich. But it's enough to cover a weekend of GPU time, enough to keep enthusiasts coming back, and not so much that it pulls in people who are just there for the money. Enthusiasts build interesting things. Interesting things move the field forward. A little incentive. I'd do it for $50 lol.
How to join
First round opens soon. Landing page is here:

For questions or to swap ideas, the Discord's open:

Excited to see what yall come up with. ♥

📣 Hugging Face Visualizer, now as Chrome extension!
https://hfviewer.com
✨ After installing, Hugging Face model pages will have an architecture visualization on the model page itself!

Thanks for all the nice feedback so far! ❤️

Shipped hf-sandbox! 🥡
🧪 Running an eval that executes model-generated C on a few thousand prompts? You probably don't want any of that on your laptop.
Just shipped hf-sandbox, a Modal-style sandbox API on top of Hugging Face Jobs. Spin up an isolated, ephemeral container, run untrusted code, get the result back. No Docker on your laptop, no infra to manage.
Just pip install hf-sandbox.
Early days (v0.1); feedback and issues very welcome:

Earlier this month, Apple introduced Simple Self-Distillation: a fine-tuning method that improves models on coding tasks just by sampling from the model and training on its own outputs with plain cross-entropy
And… it's already supported in TRL, built by Kashif Rasul. you can really feel the pace of development in the team 🐎
Paper by Ruixiang ZHANG, He Bai, Huangjie Zheng, Navdeep Jaitly, Ronan Collobert, Yizhe Zhang at Apple 🍎
How it works: the model generates completions at a training-time temperature (T_train) with top_k/top_p truncation, then fine-tunes on them with plain cross-entropy. no labels or verifier needed
You can try it right away with this ready-to-run example (Qwen3-4B on rStar-Coder):
https://github.com/huggingface/trl/blob/main/trl/experimental/ssd/ssd.py
or benchmark a checkpoint with the eval script:
https://github.com/huggingface/trl/blob/main/trl/experimental/ssd/ssd_eval.py
One neat insight from the paper: T_train and T_eval compose into an effective T_eff = T_train × T_eval, so a broad band of configs works well. even very noisy samples still help
Want to dig deeper?
