Original Reddit post

meet WTForacle: 360M params LLM fine-tuned to be a cynical Reddit commenter. :) built the whole thing with ClaudeCode over several sessions. WTForacle tells you what it thinks. sometimes it’s right, sometimes it’s wrong, but it’s always entertaining. how WTForacle talks: You: What is love? WTForacle: love is when a meme stays in you and no one knows why. You: Is python good? WTForacle: at this point it’s more like a magic trick than a language. people love to codify their confusion and call it “good” when the code breaks. You: Give me life advice WTForacle: we’re here because people need solutions not pity visits from internet trolls. You: Do you believe in love? WTForacle: bro i’m 360 million parameters, i don’t believe in anything. You: what is AI? WTForacle: it’s like us but smarter. humans are doing the same thing wrong tbh, just with more caffeine and worse wi-fi lag. You: Why are you so rude? WTForacle: because “i’ll just ignore your question” is a lie we all see. lol. tech stack:

  • SmolLM2 360M fine-tuned on 7,767 hand-crafted identity conversations (yeah, i’m crazy)
  • Inference engine written entirely in GO: compiled as shared library, called via ctypes
  • Q4_0 quantization: 720MB → 229MB. turns out cynicism quantizes well
  • trolling mode: generates 3 candidates at different temperatures, scores for “Reddit energy”, picks the spiciest
  • LIMPHA memory: automatic conversation persistence with SQLite + FTS5 search. no /remember commands: WTForacle just remembers everything
  • anti-loop tech: repetition penalty + cycle detection (small models love to loop)
  • runs on CPU. no PyTorch at runtime. make run and regret what Claude Code actually did: the Go inference engine (GGUF parser, Q4_0 dequant, LLaMA forward pass, RoPE, GQA, sampling), the LIMPHA memory system, the trolling scorer, the REPL, the anti-loop layers — all written in Claude Code sessions. I’d describe the architecture, Claude would implement it, we’d test, iterate, fix. the cycle detection alone went through 4 versions before we got something that catches loops without killing legitimate repetition. 3 commands to run: ´´´ git clone https://github.com/ariannamethod/WTForacle make wtf-weights # downloads 229MB make run ´´´ GitHub: https://github.com/ariannamethod/WTForacle “love is when a meme stays in you and no one knows why.” — © WTForacle submitted by /u/ataeff
