Welcome to Prickly Labs 🌵
We're a scrappy AI startup focused on training culturally-aware, emotionally realistic language models. Our lab experiments in:
- Low-budget, high-efficiency model training (Kaggle, FSDP, quantization)
- Creating unique Arabic personalities with emotional memory
- Discord-native inference and character interaction
- Dataset optimization and systematized fine-tuning tools
🧠Current Projects
- Ø³Ù†ÙƒÙˆØ (Sanko7): A chaotic Egyptian bot with rubber addictions and frying pan trauma
- مستنقع السناكØ: A lore-based personality AI universe
- Universal Notebook: Our fine-tuning/formatting/training stack
- Custom Dataset Tools: Arabic-rich emotional data pipelines
🚀 How to Use Our Stuff
All models will have:
- Chat templates
- Configs for
transformers, text-generation-inference, and vllm
- Lightweight, Kaggle-optimized usage guides
