How I prompt ML Intern 1. A model that knows your field 2. A model that draws your character 3. A model that does a new trick 4. A model that fits your device What it cost Make yours Last week, I wanted a small version of the prompt rewriter that ships with Qwen-Image 2.1. The official one is a 9B model that needs about 20 GB of memory and thinks for thousands of tokens before writing a single paragraph. On the Hub, I found only compressed copies of that same 9B model. So I described what I wanted to ML Intern, and the next day I had a 0.8B version that runs on a CPU. It returns valid output 99.7% of the time and uses about a quarter of the teacher's tokens. The compute for the whole project, including having the 9B model label 8,797 example requests, came to USD 16.
