WozFormer: Language-Model Inference on Constrained 6502 Hardware
An active investigation of compact transformer, retrieval, recurrent, and hyperdimensional architectures for language-model inference on a 1 MHz 6502 with tightly constrained SRAM and EEPROM. The public record includes progressive notebooks, model exports, reference implementations, hardware work, empirical findings, and an in-progress manuscript.

Research context
Scope and public claim
WozFormer develops and evaluates very small language-model architectures for a 1 MHz 6502 with tightly limited SRAM and EEPROM. Its public notebooks, model exports, findings, hardware work, and paper draft form an inspectable research record while the study continues.
Elixpo-originated. Created or operated as part of Elixpo. Copyright and artifact licences still remain repository-specific.
Reproducibility
partial
The repository publishes progressive notebooks, implementation code, exported models, reference paths, empirical findings, and hardware documentation. The complete 6502 hardware result and formal paper release are still in progress.
Review statement
not peer reviewed
Elixpo reports the review state explicitly and does not imply external peer review where none is recorded.
