TinyRustLM Glossary

Plain definitions for the runtime, artifact, adapter, selector, and verification terms used across the project.

01

.slm

TinyRustLM model artifact format. It carries the compact model payload, tensor metadata, tokenizer metadata, quantization mode, dimensions, and checksums needed by the runtime.

02

q8_0

An 8-bit symmetric block quantization path that stores 32 weights with a shared scale. It is the practical balance path for many tiny models.

03

q4_0

A 4-bit block quantization path that packs two weights per byte. It reduces memory but increases unpacking work in WASM.

04

ADP1 / ASP1 / ALR1

Adapter package families: raw f32 task delta, sparse f32 task delta, and low-rank task delta. They are sidecars, not replacement models.

05

Selector registry

A local routing file that declares which model artifacts, manifests, receipts, module plans, and adapter families are eligible for browser selection.

06

Runtime-smoke

Evidence that an artifact can load and execute in the runtime under a scoped test. It does not automatically mean broad assistant quality.

Plain PHP deployment notes

No WordPress bootstrap, theme system, database requirement, composer package, npm build, CDN script, Bootstrap class dependency, or jQuery dependency.

Routes are handled by index.php and server rewrites. Core content lives in data/pages.php. HTML and Markdown share the same page data.

Upload the package to the subdomain root, point Apache/Nginx to the folder, and keep .htaccess enabled for clean routes on Apache.
