nanochat

nanochat

nanochat is a bite-sized, end-to-end LLM stack that lets anyone train and chat with their own ChatGPT clone for roughly the cost of a nice dinner. Built by Andrej Karpathy as the capstone for the upcoming LLM101n course, the repo packs tokenization, pre-training, fine-tuning, RL, evaluation, and a web UI into a single, 8 k-line Python/PyTorch codebase that runs start-to-finish on one 8×H100 cloud node in under four hours. The default “speedrun” produces a 1.9 B-parameter transformer (d32) that’s competitive with GPT-2 while remaining fully hackable—no sprawling config factories, no black-box binaries, just concise scripts you can read, modify, and fork in minutes. A simple bash speedrun.sh downloads data, trains the model, saves checkpoints, prints a report card (CORE, MMLU, GSM8K, HumanEval, etc.), and launches a Gradio chat interface on port 8000. Larger tiers (~$300, ~$1 k) are one-line tweaks away, and everything gracefully downscales to a single GPU or even CPU/MPS for tinkering. MIT licensed, dependency-lite, and intentionally minimal, nanochat is the fastest path from curiosity to “I trained my own LLM.”
