Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An experimental 135-million-parameter language model whose weights, tokenizer, runtime, and browser player are packaged inside Solana transaction data.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

Moth uses Solana transaction data as the storage and publication layer for a small language-model package, rather than deploying a model-sized account or relying on an external AI API. The package contains a Q4F16 ONNX export of SmolLM2-135M-Instruct, a browser runtime, and tokenizer files. Its verifier follows 486 index transactions, reconstructs 28,105 data chunks, validates the package hash and embedded manifest, and then runs generation on the local device.
