Pretraining From Scratch on an Inference-Only NPU: VKORE-46M-NPU

TL;DR: VIDRAFT pretrained a small language model from scratch on an inference-only NPU, running real backpropagation on a chip the industry considers inference-only. The result, VKORE-46M-NPU , is published on Hugging Face with weights, a model card, and comparison data. Trained under identical con…
