New update! We are currently training a few new models now! Our 3rd generation main LLM standard edition is in training right now. We are also training a new LLM line called Tiny Coder around 350~ish M params. Thanks to @Banaxi-Tech for inspiring the architecture with his Bananamind-2.1-unified test model. Thanks to our beta testers: @juiceb0xc0de@ProCreations@Sbui503@Fishtiks@MUK-IS-GOAT
We're releasing BananaMind 2.1 Unified, a 35M three-tower relay model where the two output towers can only talk to each other through a silent middle tower that has no output head and no loss term.
Tower B trains entirely on indirect gradient. It was never told what to predict. It woke up anyway. Jacobian lens shows it carrying the correct answer ("Paris", "oxygen", "blue") at its deepest layer. Its bridge gates grew 4-47x from init. Feed it from only one side and the representations collapse to junk — it needs both outer towers to become semantic.
The PIQA result is the cleanest demonstration: Tower A alone scores 50.11 (chance). Tower C alone 52.12. Full system 61.75. All physical reasoning lives in the integration. The 35M three-tower beats the 50M single-tower BananaMind 2 Medium on PIQA.
Trained on 38B tokens in ~7.5 hours on 8x RTX PRO 6000. Ships with 7 ablation modes so you can surgically cut the model apart without retraining. Full training logs, J-lens fits, and eval outputs for every mode included.
We're announcing our BananaMind 2.1 model series! The models will include: - BananaMind 2.1 Nano: 10M parameters with 60B tokens. - BananaMind 2.1 Lite: 25M parameters with 40B tokens. - BananaMind 2.1 Flash: 50M parameters with 55B tokens. - BananaMind 2.1 Pro: 135M-145M parameters (still deciding) with 100B tokens. These model will use a multi tower architecture (like BananaMind/BananaMind-2.1-Unified) with some more architectural changes.
BananaMind 2.1 Pro will probrably use 2 no output towers, instead of one!
We're currently training some experimental models based on this architecture to see its scaling!
