User builds six small models cheaply via ML Intern
A developer who couldn't find the lightweight model he wanted on Hugging Face Hub used the ML Intern agent to build it himself. From a roughly 450-word prompt he got a 0.8B prompt-rewriter the next day that runs on CPU, returns valid output 99.7% of the time and uses about a quarter of its 9B teacher's tokens, with total project cost, including labeling, at USD 16. He then built five more models the same way.
