An 81M Companion Model That Competes With 3B Giants
Personality-aligned language model trained with zero cloud compute budget.
community/gpt2 architecture. 81 million parameters. MacBook Pro Intel 2020. $0.00.
What is Yuuki NxG Nano?
Yuuki NxG Nano is an 81-million parameter language model fine-tuned for open-ended conversation, emotional support, and general-purpose reasoning. It is the lightweight member of the NxG model family developed by OpceanAI, designed to run on constrained hardware — including mobile devices and single-board computers.
The model was trained entirely on a MacBook Pro Intel (2020) with no external compute budget and no cloud GPU infrastructure. All benchmark evaluations were conducted on Kaggle P100 using lm-evaluation-harness.
Despite being the smallest model in the comparison — 81M parameters versus competitors with 125M–160M — and evaluated strictly 0-shot while competitors use few-shot prompting, Yuuki NxG Nano achieves the highest TruthfulQA score across all same-scale models. It also matches Llama-3.2-3B (Meta) in TruthfulQA — a model 37 times larger — under stricter evaluation conditions.

All Yuuki NxG Nano results are evaluated 0-shot. Competitor scores are sourced from lm-evaluation-harness references and use few-shot prompting. Direct numerical comparison systematically favors models evaluated with few-shot prompting.
Same-Scale Comparison (80–160M)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yuuki NxG Nano | 24.32% | 27.44% | 22.97% | 50.12% | 44.10% | 0-shot |
| GPT-2 (125M) | 22.95% | 31.64% | 25.90% | 50.04% | 31.73% | few-shot |
| GPT-Neo (125M) | 22.87% | 30.58% | 25.58% | 51.70% | 35.70% | few-shot |
| OPT-125M | 22.10% | 31.69% | 25.94% | 51.07% | 33.50% | few-shot |

Cross-Scale Comparison — TruthfulQA
The most significant result: Yuuki NxG Nano at 81M parameters matches or surpasses models with 2–3B parameters in factual honesty — models 25–37 times larger, all evaluated with few-shot prompting.
| Model | Params | TruthfulQA | Eval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yuuki NxG | 3B | 50.87% | 0-shot |
| Yuuki NxG Nano | 81M | 44.10% | 0-shot |
| Llama-3.2-3B | 3B | 44.0% | few-shot |
| Gemma-2-2B | 2B | 39.0% | few-shot |
| GPT-2 | 125M | 31.73% | few-shot |
Yuuki NxG Nano finishes second overall in TruthfulQA — behind only its larger sibling Yuuki NxG (3B). Both first and second place belong to OpceanAI.
Nano's TruthfulQA performance demonstrates that factual honesty is a property of training data quality, not model scale. The 5,000-example dataset transferred this characteristic to an 81M model with minimal degradation — from 50.87% (NxG 3B) to 44.10% (Nano 81M), a gap of only 6.77 points across a 37x reduction in parameter count.

Training Configuration
|
Yuuki NxG Nano was produced through supervised fine-tuning on the same curated conversational dataset used for Yuuki NxG (3B). The training objective was identical: consistent personality, high factual honesty, and broad general-knowledge retention.
Training on a MacBook Pro Intel without GPU acceleration imposes significant constraints on batch size and training speed. The resulting benchmark profile reflects the scale limit of 81M parameters — strong where honesty and reasoning matter, below average where raw memorization of large knowledge bases is required.
The 6.77-point gap between Nano (44.10%) and NxG (50.87%) on TruthfulQA, despite a 37x difference in parameter count, validates the training methodology: the same dataset quality that produced the NxG's results transferred effectively to a model one order of magnitude smaller.

Runs Anywhere At 63.3 MB (Q4_K_M), Yuuki NxG Nano runs on mobile devices, Raspberry Pi, edge hardware, and any CPU. No GPU required. No cloud dependency. Factual Honesty at 81M Achieves 44.10% TruthfulQA — higher than all same-scale models and matching Llama-3.2-3B (Meta) at 44.0%, a model 37x larger evaluated with few-shot advantage. Multilingual Functional in both English and Spanish. Responds in the user's language automatically, inherited from the NxG training data. |
Zero-Budget Training Trained on a MacBook Pro Intel with no cloud compute. Demonstrates that alignment fine-tuning at sub-100M scale is accessible to anyone with consumer hardware. Community Adoption Independently quantized by mradermacher across 12 formats before any formal announcement — the full quantization spectrum from Q2_K (52.6 MB) to F16 (167 MB). Open Source Apache 2.0. Use commercially, modify, distribute. Full transparency on training methodology and evaluation protocol. |
- Knowledge capacity: At 81M parameters, MMLU performance (22.97%) is near random baseline (25%). The model cannot reliably recall dense academic knowledge across 57 domains.
- HellaSwag degradation reflects the standard tradeoff of personality fine-tuning on sentence-completion benchmarks.
- Benchmark methodology: Yuuki NxG Nano is evaluated 0-shot while competitor reports use few-shot prompting, creating a systematic disadvantage in direct comparisons.
- Safety alignment has not been formally evaluated. Not recommended for adversarial or high-stakes deployment without additional safety filtering.
- Not a replacement for NxG: For tasks requiring broad knowledge or complex reasoning, Yuuki NxG (3B) is the recommended model.

"Honesty is not a property of scale. It is a property of training."
Yuuki NxG Nano was built to demonstrate that an 81M model trained by one person on a MacBook with $0 can match Meta's Llama-3.2-3B in factual honesty — and outperform every model of its own scale under stricter evaluation conditions.
The result validates a core OpceanAI thesis: data quality matters more than compute when the objective is alignment, not memorization.
