TinyZero delivers revolutionary cost optimization through three core technologies:
1. Algorithmic efficiency gains
adoptionLayered Intensive LearningArchitecture:
- Fixed parameters for the underlying language model, only fine-tuned for the Adapter layer
- Top-level RL modules use lightweight networks (<1% parametric quantities)
- Introducing value-checking mechanisms to reduce ineffective exploration
2. Hardware utilization optimization
Innovative Realization:
- vLLM's continuous batching technology with GPU utilization of 92%+.
- FlashAttention-2 Accelerates Attention Computing with 401 TP3T Year-over-Year Speed-Up
- Zero-redundancy parameter transfer between multiple GPUs using the Ray framework
3. Epiphany effect transplants
Breakthrough Discovery:
- 3B model can show ability mutation by RL training for 500steps
- Small MCTS (width 32) can inspire AlphaZero-like planning capabilities
- Cost Comparison: Traditional method requires $5000+, TinyZero only $30
This scheme demonstrates that a moderately sized model + a refined RL design can reproduce the emergent power of a large model.
