Dev trains a 50MB model in 15 min to replace Gemini Flash at 0.06s latency
newz2000 · reddit · 2026-09-26
A developer replaced a Gemini Flash boolean-classification call (99% accurate, 0.9s latency) with a small model he trained himself. Starting from 550 real examples expanded to 2,500 using two frontier models, training on an RTX A6000 took just 15 minutes. The resulting 50MB model runs on CPU in 0.06 seconds at 97% accuracy — acceptable for his use case. He plans server-side deployment with accuracy logging and is considering browser-side inference.
