Atomic Chat

Songgot (송곳)

A Korean-first tiny agentic model for tool calling on the device, trained from scratch by Hanish Keloth (Palette). Apache 2.0.

Paper: https://hanishkeloth.github.io/songgot
Code, data generators, scorer: https://github.com/hanishkeloth/songgot
Demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/Hanish/songgot

Try it on the device: https://hanishkeloth.github.io/songgot/app/ (runs in the browser, works offline after the first load).

Numbers

Kakao FunctionChat-Bench SingleCall (500 Korean items, 5 tool conditions), exact match on function name and arguments, scorer in the repo. Comparators run with identical tools and queries in their own documented formats.

Status (2026-09-13 09:33)

Weights in this repo are Songgot-L, 12B tokens with instruction bucket, 2 epochs, v8 set: 24 layers, hidden 1024, about 303M parameters, trained from scratch on 8xH100 (Modal) on 12B tokens of Korean Wikipedia and fineweb-edu with 5 percent tool-calling rows in the mix, post-trained on the v8 set, post-trained on the v2 tool-calling set. Call accuracy on FunctionChat-Bench SingleCall 29.4 percent (name only 75.0). GGUF exports (f16, Q8_0, Q4_K_M) are in this repo.

Format

Tokenizer: SentencePiece BPE, 32k, byte fallback (tokenizer.model). Use sentencepiece directly; the special tokens live inside the vocabulary.

Data and provenance

fineweb-edu sample-10BT (ODC-By), Korean Wikipedia 20231101.ko (CC BY-SA 3.0; this model card carries the attribution and share-alike notice for that text), glaive-function-calling-v2 (Apache 2.0), template-generated Korean tool calls (Apache 2.0, in the repo). No closed-model outputs. FunctionChat-Bench was never used for training.

Limits

Single-call tool selection and argument extraction only. No multi-turn, no tool results, no free chat. Small models are finicky with rare tools and paraphrased values; validate every call in application code.
