A 124M-parameter GPT-2-style language model trained from scratch in JAX and Flax, with ONNX files for CPU use. It suits students and researchers who study small-model training. mine:o1-nano is a kit in the Education category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by MineAITechnology ## About ### What it is mine:o1-nano is a small language model in the GPT-2 style with 124 million parameters. MineAI Technology pre-trained it from scratch in JAX and Flax NNX on a TPU, then fine-tuned it in three supervised rounds. The card presents it as a transparent baseline and a teaching reference, and it publishes its failure modes openly. The "o1" in the name is the team's own numbering and has nothing to do with OpenAI. ### Who it suits It suits students, researchers and engineers who want to see a complete small-model pipeline, from data to serving on a CPU. It also works as a baseline to compare other 124M-parameter models against. Who might use it | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Education | Students of language models | Study a from-scratch training recipe in JAX | Read the card's architecture and training notes | | Research | Small-model researchers | Use it as a published baseline | Compare perplexity with other GPT-2-size models | | Software | Developers testing CPU serving | Run a tiny model with ONNX Runtime | Load the quantized ONNX file on a small server | If you want an open-ended chat assistant, you can skip it. The card says it is not ready for free-text chat deployment. ### Where to use it The model comes as ONNX files for CPU use and as a JAX checkpoint for further training. - ONNX Runtime on a CPU, with the quantized file as the fastest option - JAX and Flax NNX, to continue training or fine-tune from the checkpoint - Windows, macOS or Linux with Python Jobs it does | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | CPU text generation | Developers | Short text from a model small enough for a modest server | | Training study | Learners | A worked example of pre-training and staged fine-tuning | | Continued training | Researchers | A checkpoint to fine-tune further in JAX | ### How to set it up You need Python with pip. For ONNX use, install the runtime and helper packages from the card's quick start. Then download the repository. - Python with pip - ONNX Runtime, transformers, numpy and huggingface\_hub for the ONNX route - JAX with Flax NNX, if you plan to continue training 1. Install the Python packages for the ONNX route. 2. Download the model files from Hugging Face. 3. Pick the ONNX file that matches your goal. ```bash pip install onnxruntime transformers numpy huggingface_hub ``` ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download MineAITechnology/mine-o1-nano ``` ### How to use it Load an ONNX file with ONNX Runtime, then prompt the model using its special user and assistant tokens. The card's Python quick start is not shown in full here, so follow the card for the exact calls. Quantization can shift outputs slightly, so compare against the fp16 file if exact behavior matters. Which file to use | Goal | File | | --- | --- | | Lowest latency on a CPU | The quantized ONNX file | | CPU output closest to the original | The fp16 ONNX file | | Reference or debugging | The fp32 ONNX file | | Continue training in JAX | The Orbax checkpoint | ### Example You load the quantized ONNX file on a small CPU server and send a short prompt using the model's user and assistant tokens. You get a brief text reply. Expect modest quality, as the card is open about its limits. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new, this is a tiny relative of GPT-2 that you can run on an ordinary computer. Start with the quantized file and a short prompt, then judge the output for yourself. If you know the field, it has 12 layers, 12 heads, a hidden size of 768 and a context of 1024 tokens, with tied embeddings. The vocabulary adds two special tokens to the GPT-2 base. The card admits that compressed and distilled GPT-2 variants beat it on zero-shot WikiText-103 perplexity. Text is tokenized with the GPT-2 vocabulary → A 12-layer decoder processes the tokens → The model predicts the next token → The ONNX file runs on a CPU ### Good to know The files come in several precisions. Smaller files run faster on a CPU but can shift the output slightly.
