What Nepal's Digital Future is Actually Built On https://t.co/D4UyRZbI1O @bjtimalsina
Our First PoC milestoneЁЯЪА
The team trained and released HimalayaGPT 0.5B-IT, a Nepali-focused smol instruct model built with Karpathyя┐╜я┐╜s nanochat on a GPT-2 style decoder-only architecture.
Trained with Nepali/Devanagari-heavy pretraining, then SFT across instruction, code, math, and tool-use data.
Small model, but a meaningful step toward sovereign AI for Nepal.
Next target: scaling toward 5B models.
Thanks to the entire team and our strategic partner Tarka, and to the NVIDIA DGX Spark stack for powering this training run.

We live in interesting times. Never thought I'd see the day when the direction this country would be decided over an anonymous Discord server. I was skeptical but now I'm optimistic. It's a lively debate over competence, experience & the ability to deliver.
No one, not a single soul, expected Oli to resign within a day. Nobody was supposed to die. There isn't a concrete plan because none of this was supposed to happen so soon.
Gen Z brought down the corrupt government ahead of schedule. They now need help, not ridicule.
Dear #GenZprotestnepal our purpose was to dismantle deceitful system, not to dismantle our future. It was to burn corruption, not to burn our nation. Please be the youth that saved the nation, that paved future for generations, that changed the narration. Please chose peace.
