gollark: (Small = below 700M parameters)
gollark: I can run small GPT models for us.
gollark: Just have it arrange them into an overly large grid and make some of the connections skip over the empty cells.
gollark: In that case, we can probably apinate the topology somehow.
gollark: Anyway, it could be philosophically a "webring" but topologically have four direction buttons or something.
