Summary
Apex-1 is a new 350M parameter language model, developed and trained locally on an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB consumer GPU. Designed for speed and efficiency on edge devices, it leverages a subset of FineWeb-Edu and Alpaca-Cleaned datasets to pack significant world knowledge and instruction-following capabilities into a tiny model. This project demonstrates the potential for developing capable LLMs on accessible hardware.
