Summary

ThoxKey-9M-role is the device-role model for ThoxKey, fine-tuned from a THOX model trained from scratch (no external base). It is a BitNet b1.58 ternary model (weights in {-1, 0, +1}, int8 activations) with 8,917,248 parameters. This is the model baked into the ThoxKey firmware. It handles local device commands, names itself when asked, and defers everything else rather than inventing it: it holds no company facts by design, and recorded zero fabrications on held-out company-fact prompts.

`thoxkey-9m-role-Q8_0.gguf`	llama.cpp / Ollama host validation

hf download Thox-ai/ThoxKey-9M-role thoxkey-9m-role-Q8_0.gguf --local-dir ./ThoxKey-9M-role

Ollama cannot load ternary GGUF (TQ1_0 / TQ2_0); use the Q8_0 file on a host. Ternary files need a recent llama.cpp build.

Intended use

Local device commands and identity answers on ThoxKey, fully offline.
Out of scope: medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, or other high-stakes decisions without human review; unattended control of physical devices without a confirmation step.

Training data and procedure

THOX fine-tune of Thox-ai/ThoxMicro-1bit-9M. The corpus and procedure are described in this card as published at release (see Summary and Evaluation); no training beyond what this card describes is claimed for this repository.

Evaluation

No THOX GATE49 result is published for this model. Its recorded behaviour check: zero fabrications on held-out company-fact prompts, by design (the corpus contains no company facts to repeat).

Limitations

3.80 MB of weights; a very small model for a narrow role. It defers rather than answers anything outside local commands.
Not yet measured on target hardware; no throughput figure is claimed.
Behaviour and bias reflect the training data, which is mostly English; quality in other languages is lower.

Provenance
