About the project

An open-source educational project for training a tiny 64M-parameter LLM (MiniMind) from scratch in PyTorch, covering the full pipeline: pretrain, SFT, LoRA, RLHF, RLAIF and Tool Use.

Useful for
  • Train your own tiny LLM from scratch on a single GPU in a couple of hours
  • Study pretrain, SFT, LoRA and RLHF implementations without transformers/trl wrappers
  • Deploy an OpenAI-API-compatible MiniMind server for chat UIs

2.8 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 12, 2026, 11:12 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

05001,000August 5, 2026November 2, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 00:15–11:01: 63560 → 63594 stars (+34). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +74 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

The full 7-day window is unavailable; no weekly total or comparison is calculated.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
