## Headline deltas

- DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B collection initiated and completed.
- Initial manifest for DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B added to inventory.
- Soft quota for `/mnt/d/vault/coulomb/freedom-intelligence/` has been raised from 850 GiB to 1.2 TB.
- Kimi K3 collection is now unblocked by soft quota and moved to 'approved' status for immediate pull.
- Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct collection remains deferred due to HF gate.

## Frontier & commercial (axis A)

*(none)*

## Edge / local / open (axis B)

| Item | Delta | Sources | Lab relevance |
| ---- | ----- | ------- | ------------- |
| DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B | Collection completed. Model (Q4_K_M quant) is now on disk at `models/deepseek-ai__DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B/main`. | Internal collection log (scripts/collect_model.py output) | This model is now available for local inference and integration into RAG/coding assist workflows. It fulfills the 'Consumer GPU' category for Axis B. |

## Training & specialization (axis C)

*(none)*

## Harness & fleet (axis D)

*(none)*

## Collection candidates

| id | org | name | priority | reason | approx size | license |
| -- | --- | ---- | -------- | ------ | ----------- | ------- |
| Kimi-K3 | moonshotai | Kimi K3 | high | Primary S1 strategic capability model, now unblocked by increased soft quota. Represents the best open general / MoE chat model. | ~1454 GiB (full precision), targeting official compressed release | Unverified (expected MoonshotAI proprietary license, similar to DeepSeek's MIT-like for open weights) |

## Lab implications

- Proceed with the collection of `moonshotai/Kimi-K3`. Prioritize the best official compressed release to manage disk usage.
- Update `inventory/catalog/Kimi-K3.yaml` to 'approved' and mark for immediate pull.
- Monitor `HF_TOKEN` status for `Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct` to unblock its collection.
- Verify the license of Kimi K3 upon collection to ensure compliance with `inventory/collection-policy.md`.
