New Architecture RHEA: Train 1B Model on 8GB VRAM
zemondza · reddit · 2026-08-24
A solo developer introduced RHEA, a new architecture operating on event reactions without standard Transformer layers. Using specific optimization techniques, it enables training a 1-billion-parameter model on an 8GB RTX 4070 laptop, significantly lowering the hardware barrier for local training.
