This really makes me think if it would be feasible to make an llm trained exclusively on toki pona (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_Pona)

There isn't enough training data though, is there? The "secret sauce" of LLMs is the vast amount of training data available + the compute to process it all.

[algoth1]

I think you could probably feed a copy of a toki pona grammar book to a big model, and have it produce ‘infinite’ training data

[MarkusQ]

This is essentially a distillation on the bigger model; you'd wind up surfacing a lot of artifacts from the host model, amplifying them in the same way repeated photocopying introduces errors.

There are not enough samples in that book to generate new "infinite" data.

People have made toki pona translation models before, not exclusively trained though
