Tribot-9.98m-micro: Public Model Release Overview
Tribot-9.98m-micro is a foundational language model developed by Triskel Data Pty Ltd. It is the result of a fully independent pipeline, built from the ground up with no external model dependencies. Every stage, from data cleaning to architecture and training, was designed for determinism, auditability, and ultra-portability.
What It Is
Tribot-9.98m-micro is a compact transformer model trained on a cleaned and structured 2025 Reddit comment dataset. It contains 9.98 million parameters and a 153152-token vocabulary, all structured to support offline, deterministic question answering and conversational tasks. It is designed to run efficiently on CPUs, edge devices, and embedded systems.
This is not a toy. It is a real, losslessly trained foundational AI model that operates entirely offline with no cloud requirements, no telemetry, and no reliance on external APIs.

Performance and Deployment
Tribot-9.98m-micro runs entirely offline. It is suitable for devices like:
- Laptops
- Desktops
- Intel N100 mini PCs
- Raspberry Pi 4 and 5
- ARM Cortex-A76 class smart TVs
- Other consumer-grade CPUs with at least 2GB of RAM
With quantization and minor optimization, it can run on systems with minimal resources. Real-time interaction is achievable on mid-range and better devices. The model can support local voice assistant behavior, chatbots, or command processors in offline smart systems.
It is not suited for microcontrollers or devices with less than 1GB of RAM. Extremely low-end TV sticks or legacy devices will not perform well unless hardware is upgraded.
Inference Pipeline
Tribot’s inference setup is minimal. Install Python 3.8 or newer, install PyTorch 2.0+, place the files in one folder, and run the included inference settings.py. The model responds to prompts locally and deterministically.
No internet is required. No background processes. No data leaves the machine.
Licensing Overview
Tribot-9.98m-micro is licensed under a four-tier commercial structure:

Key Differentiators
- Fully foundational: No base model, no fine-tune, no third-party dependencies
- Deterministic: Same inputs yield same outputs
- Portable: Only 127MB total, compressible to 62MB with 450 to 1 ratio
- No reliance on cloud, APIs, or online lookups
- Private: Nothing leaves the device
- Real-time: Can run usable local inference on mid-range consumer CPUs
Limitations
- Not intended for legal, medical, or critical advisory applications
- Knowledge is frozen at 2025 Reddit data
- Limited reasoning capacity due to compact parameter count
- No plugins, no real-time web knowledge
Suggested Use Cases
- Voice assistants for smart TVs, remotes, and offline appliances
- Embedded bots for diagnostics or device control
- Academic tools or portable teaching assistants
- Developer prototypes and experimental LLM stacks
- Offline command systems in secured environments
Final Notes
This release shows that foundational AI does not have to be expensive, large, or reliant on cloud infrastructure. Tribot-9.98m-micro is a real, working, local AI engine that fits in a 62MB file and runs without any dependencies beyond Python and PyTorch.
You can copy it, share it, email it, or embed it in your hardware product. There are no runtime permissions, and no network choke points. Just drop it in and go.
