Your AI. Your Data. Your Rules.™

This repository holds the THOX packaging for ThoxAgent thoxagent-core-4b: Modelfile, release manifest, and the THOX Knowledge Pack. The runnable model is published on Ollama as thox-ai/thoxagent-core-4b. The weights are upstream Qwen3 weights, byte-identical to the pinned base below; THOX configured this release with a system profile and knowledge pack. THOX did not train these weights.

Summary

thoxagent-core-4b is the core tier of the THOX Agent family: upstream Qwen3-4B weights packaged with a THOX agent system profile for general agent planning and knowledge work, plus the versioned THOX Knowledge Pack. Configuration-derived: THOX did not train these weights.

Intended use

General agent planning and knowledge work on laptop-class hardware: structured plans, summaries, drafting, and routing-aware assistance for ThoxAgent, ThoxChat, and MeshStack hosts. Works standalone and offline; the optional THOX runtime adds live MeshStack discovery and authorized execution.

Training data and procedure

No training. Base: Qwen/Qwen3-4B via Ollama tag qwen3:4b, pinned digest sha256:359d7dd4bcdab3d86b87d73ac27966f4dbb9f5efdfcc75d34a8764a09474fae7. Customization: the THOX Agent DigitalHumans kit system profile (role-specialized) in the Modelfile, plus THOX Knowledge Pack v0.1 for local retrieval.

Evaluation

Measured 2026-11-01 on CPU, x86_64 (CPU-only execution), 8,192-token context, against the pinned base digest above.

Measure Result
Memory footprint at 8,192 ctx 3.89 GB RAM, 0.0 GB VRAM
Long-form throughput 15.12 tok/s over 1024 generated tokens
Short-answer throughput 14.69–15.79 tok/s across the smoke set
Factory questions 3 prompts run (Q1 answered (738 tokens); Q2 answered (768 tokens); Q3 answered (768 tokens))
Knowledge Pack grounding 8⁄8 topics answered with the verified facts from the supplied passage
Fabricated-topology trap Declined: the model refused to confirm a live three-node MeshStack state it cannot verify
Routing question Answered as a labeled recommendation (local-first for private data)

Note on method: Qwen3-4B’s thinking mode consumed the full token cap on several first attempts, returning empty visible answers; those prompts were rerun with thinking disabled and the reruns scored. All scores above are from completed, visible answers.

Limitations

A 4B model has materially weaker reasoning than the 8B/14B tiers; validate consequential plans. Knowledge is limited to the supplied pack and retrieval. It has no live telemetry and cannot verify live system state. Refusal behavior is the base model’s, moderated only by the system profile. External actions require runtime authorization; a recommendation from this model never grants execution permission.
