# North-Star-1.1

Short local text-only SFT/distillation continuation of `arthu1/north-star-1`.

This experimental run used 12 curated prompt/response targets and 5 local MPS training steps. No teacher logits were used. The checkpoint retains the original custom North Star architecture and SentencePiece tokenizer.

This is a smoke/demo checkpoint, not a production release. It may repeat responses because the training run was intentionally brief.

Files:

- `northstar1_1.pt` — original custom checkpoint format
- `model.safetensors` — safetensors export
- `tokenizer.model` — SentencePiece tokenizer
- `run_metadata.json` — training metadata
