thegrid (Matt Eckman, MIT) is an artificial-life lab. Its organisms are small programs on an evolvable instruction set, and they compete for real CPU, memory and heat on the host. Every birth goes into a fossil record. thegrid's own findings (tools/analyse/LESSONS.md) include this one: model-authored mutation founded nothing. 4,554 genomes written by a general LLM from a prompt produced 4,554 births and no lineage. Over the same period, blind segment transfer compounded at 1.3x. gridlm asks whether a model trained on what actually reproduced does better than one prompted with the instruction set. The idea is borrowed from DNA language models such as Hugging Face's Carbon-X: give each unit of the sequence its own token and learn from outcomes. Here the unit is an opcode, and the outcomes come from the fossil record. Two models, about 0.8M parameters each: genome is born at least twice in its epoch), meaning it…

Compatibility and lineage

Language coverage was not reported.

Base-model lineage was not included.

Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.

Use and evaluate

Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.

No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
