retnet-mini-shakespeare
This model was trained from scratch on "tinyshakespeare" text file.
Model description
A tiny model similar to jploski/falcon-mini-shakespeare, to demonstrate training and recurrent inference using a retentive network (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.08621.pdf). The code utilizes Sehyun Choi's implementation of retentive network (https://github.com/syncdoth/RetNet) with configuration parameters changed to make it a very tiny model.

Intended uses & limitations
Intended to demonstrate training and (recurrent O(1)) inference using a retentive network
Training and evaluation data

Training procedure
Note: updated on 2023-11-10 to work with the current version of syncdoth/RetNet.
Just used the single tinyshakespeare text file as both the training and validation set (split up into paragraphs). See:
