Tiny models are becoming software primitives
This 27.5KB model runs locally in your browser, syntax-highlighting code without being told the language
Shu (@shuding): I trained a small model to do syntax highlighting in the browser with GPU.
Meet gpu-lexer from Vercel Labs: Small (27.5KB), fast (runs on WebGPU), and language-agnostic (model guesses the syntax).

It is experimental and built for learning!
