Strangers pretrained a language model with HF PRs and a cron job

Hacker News - Sun, 08/02/2026 - 12:42am

Last week a few of us pretrained a 15M-parameter language model from scratch — past its Chinchilla-optimal token budget — with no cluster, no server, and no budget. The training coordinator is a GitHub Actions cron job. The gradients are pull requests. By the end, someone we'd never met had joined and trained 23M tokens of it. github.com/commonsense-ai/coop — Model + card · huggingface.co/commonsense-ai/tinystories-15m — Gradient inbox — Leaderboard

Show HN: Nuking the crap Claude left in the codebase – CCN

Hacker News - Sun, 08/02/2026 - 12:31am

CCN Strips comments out of codebases, and comments ONLY, this isn't a regex parse that could potentially eat your code, no this actually makes a list and checks it twice.

I, as a real developer, often leave bytes of comments in my own codebases then forget about them, AI models leave MEGABYTES and has NO memory, sometimes literally using comments as a FORM OF IT.

Use this tool to clean your codebases of literal trash, or use it to review, very useful, end to end tested and verified against 2,700 iterations (not that you care or anything, it works, even on debian trixie with xfce desktop, and that's what matters, not the thousands of tests I ripped from the codebase before publishing it that end users dgaf about)

As Stallman infamously says...

Happy hacking ;)
