A 15.7M-parameter AI crow that holds grudges

Tallow is a 15.7M-parameter language model, trained from scratch, that plays a wild crow. Each reply is a mood tag, actions and crow sounds, never English sentences. He tracks trust through the chat: food and space win him over, while a grab starts a grudge that no apology fixes, only peanuts. Pretrained on TinyStories, then fine-tuned on 5,295 conversations written by Claude Haiku from a rules engine. Runs locally from one Python script, on CPU or GPU. No web demo. Apache-2.0.

    Most chatbots apologize and agree with whatever you say. Tallow is the opposite: grab him once and 'sorry' does nothing, only peanuts slowly bring him back. It's a toy, but a carefully documented one, and the model card says plainly that its 97.2% mood accuracy is measured on data from the same generator it was trained on. 739 downloads in its first week on Hugging Face.
