This “paper” presents my approach to directing the LLM track at GIBC 2026 — from designing the 50M-parameter challenge to evaluating submissions and fostering an environment where novel architectures can emerge.

(02) Introduction

Directing the LLM track.

I oversee the LLM track at GIBC 2026, where student teams push a 50M-parameter model to its limits. My work spans architecture design, evaluation, training-data preparation and real-time mentoring.

The track gives teams maximum flexibility — architecture, data and training strategy are entirely their call, as long as the model stays within the 50M-parameter budget.
