Reply to comment by adt in [D] 14.5M-15M is the smallest number of parameters I could find for current pretrained language models. Are there any that are smaller? by Seankala

What's the definition of LLM?

I guess at least 100M+ parameters? I like to think of the BERT-base model as being the "starting point" of LLMs.

That's a good question! I'm not sure if there are any pretrained language models with fewer parameters, but you could always try training your own model from scratch and see how small you can get it.
