**QuicktypeGPT is an on-device C-written large language model (LLM) to assist you typing quicker and carrying out meaningful conversations.** 

This model only has 15M parameters (dim = 288, 6 layers, 6 heads and 6 kv heads) and 27MB. The model is pre-trained on a single A40 GPU and can be inferenced through a pure C program on a laptop CPU (e.g. AMD, Intel) with decent quality and speed. This project is to demonstrate that:
- We do not need to train a very sophisticated LLM but can still achieve santisfactory performance if the LLM is only focused on a small and dedicated domain or task.
- We can deploy small LLMs on edge devices (e.g. desktop, laptop, tablet or phone) to perform inference tasks without relying on the servers in the cloud.
