Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm building **CORU under RRR PRO MEX**, an experimental micro language model project driven by a simple question: **Can developer innovation make a very small AI model more useful than its size alone suggests?** CORU is still in the research stage. The model itself has clear limitations, and we cannot yet guarantee what it will ultimately be capable of doing. It is not intended to replace large language models or handle every complex task independently. The interesting part is the architecture around the model. By combining a compact model with APIs, software tools, libraries, retrieval and carefully designed workflows, developers may be able to build useful applications without relying on a large model for every task. Depending on the architecture and services chosen, this approach may also help reduce costs. 🎯 **Who might find CORU interesting?** - Indie developers experimenting with compact AI models - Startup builders exploring affordable AI application architectures - Automation developers who know how to connect APIs and software tools - Researchers interested in small-model capabilities and limitations CORU is an experiment, not a promise of unlimited intelligence. The real goal is to learn what is possible, measure what works, identify the limitations and improve the architecture step by step. I'd love to hear from developers and researchers: **What would you try building around a micro model like CORU?** Feedback, experiments and honest criticism are welcome. 🚀 — RRR PRO MEX

MLM vs LLM: Why is everyone ignoring Micro Language Models in 2026?

Right now, everyone building with AI relies on heavy, monolithic LLM APIs. They are powerful, but they come with massive cloud dependencies, heavy compute overhead, and privacy trade-offs.

But what if someone shifted to the absolute other extreme: An API for a Micro Language Model (MLM) engineered to be under 50M parameters?
