> nanochat is also inspired by modded-nanoGPT

Nice synergy here, the lineage is: Karpathy's nano-GPT -> Keller Jordan's modded-nanoGPT (a speedrun of training nanoGPT) -> NanoChat

modded-nanoGPT [1] is a great project, well worth checking out, it's all about massively speeding up the training of a small GPT model.

Notably it uses the author's Muon optimizer [2], rather than AdamW, (for the linear layers).
