About tessera

Tessera A small, from-scratch LLM stack built around one goal: distill a large teacher into a small student, then serve that student efficiently. Keeping that goal end-to-end means touching most of the pieces that matter in practice — custom GPU kernels, sharded training, an inference engine, quantization, and a serving front end — without any of it being a toy. It runs and is unit-tested on a laptop (CPU or Apple MPS).
