nanochat is nowhere finished. The goal is to improve the state of the art in micro models that are accessible to work with end to end on budgets of < $1000 dollars. Accessibility is about overall cost but also about cognitive complexity - nanochat is not an exhaustively configurable LLM "framework"; there will be no giant configuration objects, model factories, or if-then-else monsters in the code base. It is a single, cohesive, minimal, readable, hackable, maximally-forkable "strong baseline" codebase designed to run start to end and produce a concrete ChatGPT clone and its report card. nanochat is nowhere finished.

I am looking for someone to be the "nanochat repo czar" to help me manage the nanochat repo and its issues and PRs and be the first round of defense. Examples of work include merging simple fixes (docs, typos, clear and simple bugs etc.), rejecting vibe coded PRs, managing the Issues/PRs, doing brief "sanity check testing" of PRs on the two officially supported platforms (Linux/GPU and Macbook), organizing information into brief updates and highlights for me. We'd be in touch on DMs on Discord or X or whatever is easiest. For your services to the repo you will be listed and linked to under acknowledgements as the nanochat repo czar. Position is at-will so you can contribute for a while and then "resign" at any time later, totally ok and thank you for your help, just me know. Apply via DM to me on X, thank you!
