grove-explore-base

The local code-locator delegate for grove’s delegated exploration mode (grove init --as mcp-llm). grove’s inner Rust explorer drives a short tool-calling loop against this model over an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and returns validated file:line citations.

Untrained base. Off-the-shelf Qwen3.5-4B (Alibaba/Qwen), self-converted to GGUF and quantized — not a grove fine-tune.

  • Thinking is ON (default on ollama ≥ 0.32) — required; thinking off yields empty tool-calls.
