Show HN: I built a tiny LLM to demystify how language models work

armanified — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:20:12 +0000

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food.

Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

Show HN: Gemma Gem – AI model embedded in a browser – no API keys, no cloud

ikessler — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:14:37 +0000

Gemma Gem is a Chrome extension that loads Google's Gemma 4 (2B) through WebGPU in an offscreen document and gives it tools to interact with any webpage: read content, take screenshots, click elements, type text, scroll, and run JavaScript.

You get a small chat overlay on every page. Ask it about the page and it (usually) figures out which tools to call. It has a thinking mode that shows chain-of-thought reasoning as it works.

It's a 2B model in a browser. It works for simple page questions and running JavaScript, but multi-step tool chains are unreliable and it sometimes ignores its tools entirely. The agent loop has zero external dependencies and can be extracted as a standalone library if anyone wants to experiment with it.
