Project comparison
Compare adoption, momentum, maintenance health, and project basics before choosing which tool to evaluate deeper.
RWKV (pronounced RwaKuv) is an RNN with great LLM performance, which can also be directly trained like a GPT transformer (parallelizable). We are at RWKV-7 "Goose". So it's combining the best of RNN and transformer - great performance, linear time, constant space (no kv-cache), fast training, infinite ctx_len, and free sentence embedding.
A single CLAUDE.md file to improve Claude Code behavior, derived from Andrej Karpathy's observations on LLM coding pitfalls.
