nanochat d32, i.e. the depth 32 version that I specced for $1000, up from $100 has finished training after ~33 hours, and looks good. All the metrics go up quite a bit across pretraining, SFT and RL. CORE score of 0.31 is now well above GPT-2 at ~0.26. GSM8K went ~8% -> ~20%, etc. So that's encouraging.
The model is pretty fun to talk to, but judging from some early interactions I think people have a little bit too much expectation for these micro models. There is a reason that frontier LLM labs raise billions to train their models. nanochat models cost $100 - $1000 to train from scratch. The $100 nanochat is 1/1000th the size of GPT-3 in parameters, which came out 5 years ago. So I urge some perspective. Talking to micro models you have to imagine you're talking to a kindergarten child. They say cute things, wrong things, they are a bit confused, a bit naive, sometimes a little non-sensical, they hallucinate a ton (but it's amusing), etc.
Full detail/report on this run is here:

And I pushed the new script run1000 sh to the nanochat repo if anyone would like to reproduce. Totally understand if you'd like to spend $1000 on something else :D
If you like, I am currently hosting the model so you can talk to it on a webchat as you'd talk to ChatGPT. I'm not going to post the URL here because I'm afraid it will get crushed. You'll have to look for it if you care enough. I'm also attaching a few funny conversations I had with the model earlier into the image, just to give a sense.
Next up, I am going to do one pass of tuning and optimizing the training throughput, then maybe return back to scaling and maybe training the next tier of a bigger model.

๐ฅ GPT-5 is FREE on Genspark!
We've been testing early access to GPT-5 at Genspark, and today we're excited to bring GPT-5 to everyone on Genspark.
All free users now get access to GPT-5 in AI Chat (Plus users get unlimited usage). Our Deep Research is now powered by GPT-5, and Super Agent embraces GPT-5 for enhanced performance and experience.
We worked closely with OpenAI to benchmark these improvements across real interactions. GPT-5 achieved a 79% satisfaction improvement over GPT-4.1 on our Super Agent benchmark, testing complex tool use and challenging end-to-end tasks. It cut unsatisfactory responses by 34% โ critical for reliability.
GPT-5 shows stronger creative judgment in HTML and PowerPoint generation, producing more polished, modern designs with better instruction-following. This empowers Genspark users to tackle more ambitious projects with confidence.
