🌟 Overview

CarvusTrain is a pure-Python AI development ecosystem for building, training, deploying, and evolving intelligent systems — with zero mandatory dependencies and multi-billion parameter support from day one.

Built from scratch with Python 3.10+, CarvusTrain provides a complete AI toolkit that runs everywhere Python runs. No PyTorch, TensorFlow, or CUDA required — though they're supported when available.

Why CarvusTrain?

Problem	Solution
AI frameworks require heavy GPU dependencies	Zero mandatory dependencies — pure Python, works everywhere
Complex APIs with steep learning curves	Clean, intuitive API — create a model in 3 lines
Training requires deep learning expertise	Auto AI Trainer with smart defaults and learning validation
Deployment is complex and infrastructure-heavy	Built-in REST API server — deploy with one method call
Exporting models locks you into ecosystems	5 export formats — ONNX, GGUF, JSON, BIN, native .ct
Scaling from prototype to production is hard	9 parameter presets — 15M to 405B, no rearchitecture needed
No semantic understanding — just pattern matching	TF-IDF knowledge base with learning validation & retention tracking

Core Philosophy

1. Zero-to-inference in minutes — Install, import, create, learn, ask
2. User-driven training — You call model.train(), never the framework
3. Safe by default — No auto-subprocess, auto-downloads, or auto-training
4. Scale without rearchitecture — Change parameters="7B" to parameters="70B"
5. Learn with understanding — Knowledge retention, comprehension, and validation

// Assuming CarvusTrain is running as a REST API server
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8000/', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ prompt: 'What is machine learning?' })
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.response);

TypeScript (via REST API)

interface ModelResponse {
    response: string;
    model: string;
    mode: string;
}

async function askModel(prompt: string): Promise<string> {
    const res = await fetch('http://localhost:8000/', {

❓ FAQ

Does CarvusTrain require deep learning knowledge?

No! CarvusTrain abstracts away complexity with high-level APIs. You can create, train, and use AI models with just a few lines of Python. However, understanding ML concepts helps optimize your models.

What's the minimum hardware requirement?

• Minimum: 4GB RAM, any modern CPU — runs on a Raspberry Pi 4+
• Recommended: 8GB+ RAM for larger datasets
• GPU: Optional — works on CPU only by default. For large-scale training (70B+), GPU recommended.

Can I use CarvusTrain for production systems?

Absolutely! It's designed for production use with:

• Built-in REST API server (zero-dependency HTTP)
• Multiple export formats (ONNX, GGUF, JSON, BIN)
• Safe mode for production environments
• No telemetry or external calls
• MIT License — no restrictions

How does pricing work?

CarvusTrain is completely free and open-source under the MIT License. No hidden fees, no usage limits, no cloud dependencies, no API keys needed.

Does it require external AI models or APIs?

No! CarvusTrain is a pure-Python framework with zero mandatory dependencies. Everything runs locally. No OpenAI API, no cloud services, no model downloads required.

How is CarvusTrain different from PyTorch/TensorFlow?

While PyTorch and TensorFlow are low-level frameworks requiring GPU setup and heavy dependencies, CarvusTrain is a high-level, zero-dependency platform that works out of the box. Think of it as the difference between assembly language (PyTorch) and Python (CarvusTrain). Both have their place — CarvusTrain can optionally use PyTorch when available.

What are the multi-billion parameter presets?

CarvusTrain includes 9 architecture presets from 15M to 405B parameters. These size the model configuration (embedding dimensions, layer counts, attention heads) — they do not download pre-trained weights. This lets you design and train models at any scale with a single parameter change.

How do I contribute?

We welcome contributions! Fork the repo, make your changes, and submit a pull request. See the Contributing section for details.
