Repo: https://codeberg.org/JohannaJuntos/Sisyphus I've been building a small Rust-focused language model from scratch in PyTorch. Not a finetune — byte-level, trained from random init on a Rust-heavy corpus assembled in this repo. The run: 25.6M parameters 512 context length 173.5M-byte corpus 30k training steps Single RTX 4060 Ti 8GB Final train loss: 0.5834 / val loss: 0.8217 / perplexity: 2.15 Inference: 286.6 tok/s with HybridAttention + KV cache — 51.47x vs full attention Background I'm an autistic systems programmer, writing code since 2008/2009, started in C. I approach ML like a systems project: understand the data path, understand the memory behavior, keep the stack small, add complexity only when justified. That's basically the shape of this repo.
