About the project

A full stack for running the Qwen3-0.6B language model: custom GPU kernels, compiler, ISA, simulator, and a planned RTL GPU. Every layer is written from scratch and small enough for one person to read.

Useful for

Chat with Qwen3-0.6B locally via the titania run CLI
Study how transformer kernels are compiled into Titania ISA instructions
Run the model on the ISA simulator and inspect the disassembly of executing kernels

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.
