abstract: >-
  MeowLLM is a ~3.5M parameter decoder-only transformer trained from scratch
  to speak in the voice of a single house cat character called Miso.
  Built with modern tiny-LM components (RoPE, RMSNorm, SwiGLU, SDPA, tied
  embeddings) and a slot-based compositional synthetic data generator with
  strict character filtering.
