Place GGUF weights here. Filenames must match what the launchers expect:
| File | Role |
|---|---|
tiny.gguf |
Weak hosts (~8 GB RAM): ~1B–4B instruct, Q4_K_M |
chip.gguf |
CHIP default chat (~8 GB RAM): Hermes 3 Llama 3.2 3B Q4_K_M (~1.9 GB). Run ./download-chip-model.sh |
chat.gguf |
Daily driver (16 GB+ RAM): ~7B–8B instruct, Q4_K_M (~4.5–5 GB) |
embed.gguf |
RAG embeddings: bge-small-en-v1.5 Q4_K_M (~30 MB). Run ./download-embed-model.sh |
You can rename any downloaded .gguf to match a profile, or use ./start.sh tiny|chip|chat / start.bat equivalents.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Default download | bartowski/Hermes-3-Llama-3.2-3B-GGUF → Hermes-3-Llama-3.2-3B-Q4_K_M.gguf |
| Install | ./download-chip-model.sh → models/chip.gguf |
| Size | ~1.9 GB on disk |
| RAM | 8 GB host: leave headroom for OS + browser; prefer chip or tiny. |
| Behavior | Hermes 3 is a reduced-refusal instruct fine-tune (fewer “I can’t help” blocks on preparedness topics). You are responsible for lawful, safe use offline. |
16 GB+ hosts: keep or add chat.gguf with an 8B instruct (e.g. Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B Q4_K_M from bartowski, ~4.9 GB) and run ./start.sh chat.
Other community “uncensored” builds (Dolphin, abliterated Qwen/Llama) may work in llamafile if you download GGUF Q4_K_M yourself and save as chip.gguf or a custom name (then symlink/rename to chip.gguf).
Use instruct models in GGUF Q4_K_M (or Q4_K_S) from Hugging Face. Common publishers: bartowski, unsloth, Qwen, Meta.
Examples (search for current GGUF builds; URLs change):
- Tiny: Qwen3.5 0.8B/1.5B, Llama 3.2 3B Instruct, Gemma 2/3 4B IT
- Chat: Llama 3.1 8B Instruct, Qwen3 8B Instruct, Mistral 7B Instruct v0.3, Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B Q4_K_M
- Free host RAM should be larger than the GGUF file size.
- Do not commit
.gguffiles to git; they stay on the X10 Pro only.
Keep weights as separate .gguf files. Do not bundle multi-GB models into a single .exe (4 GB executable limit on Windows).
Default file: embed.gguf (symlink or rename from download).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Model | BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 |
| GGUF (Q4_K_M) | CompendiumLabs/bge-small-en-v1.5-gguf → bge-small-en-v1.5-q4_k_m.gguf (also: bartowski) |
| Install | ./download-embed-model.sh copies to models/embed.gguf |
| Server | ./start-embed.sh → 127.0.0.1:8081 with --embedding |
Use the same embed.gguf for ./scripts/ingest-corpus.sh and ./scripts/rag-query.sh. See docs/RAG.md.
