tegwick a83ef0a79a Register reserve under agents hub and pin VAULT storage.
Classify freedom-intelligence for State Hub (agents domain), sync FI-WP-0001..0003 with hub IDs, enrich catalog entries with profile/SWOT, and pin the open-weight reserve to D:\vault\coulomb\freedom-intelligence\ with strategic S-tier policy.

NAS strategic collection plan (1 TB)

Date: 2026-07-24
Decision: docs/decisions/2026-07-24-nas-strategic-reserve.md
Soft quota: 850 GiB on 1 TB local NAS


Intent

Capture the most capable open-weight models for long-term optionality, even if they cannot run on current lab GPUs, plus keep a runnable spine for daily local use.


Tier R — runnable spine (keep resident)

Model Est. (Q4 / fp16) Role
Qwen3-8B ~5 / ~16 GiB Default instruct + FT
Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct ~2 / ~6 GiB Edge
BGE-M3 ~2 GiB Multilingual embed
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B ~9 / ~28 GiB Local reason
nomic-embed-text-v1.5 <1 GiB Light embed
Subtotal (quant-first) ~2030 GiB
Subtotal (fp16-ish) ~5055 GiB

Tier S — strategic capability (best open, may be unrunnable)

Prioritize one primary artifact per capability niche so 1 TB is not wasted on near-duplicates. Prefer official compressed weights when full precision is hundreds of GiBTB.

Priority Capability niche Representative targets (verify current HF id + license at pull) Size class (order of magnitude)
S1 Best open general / MoE chat DeepSeek-V3 / V3.2 / V4-class open MoE (latest card) ~300700+ GiB depending on quant/precision
S2 Best open reasoner DeepSeek-R1 full (or successor open reasoner) similar large
S3 Best open coding / SWE open weight Top open code MoE or dense (e.g. GLM-5.x open, Qwen coder large — pick current SOTA open) tenshundreds GiB
S4 Strong open dense mid-large Qwen3-72B or Llama 3.3 70B / Llama 4 open text variant ~40150 GiB quant / larger fp
S5 Efficient open frontier family Gemma 4 large open variants tens of GiB

1 TB portfolio rule of thumb

R spine (~3055 GiB)
+ S1 one primary giant quant (~300450 GiB)   ← first strategic fill
+ optional S4 dense 70B (~4080 GiB Q4)
+ embeds already in R
+ staging headroom
≈ 400600 GiB typical first strategic fill

If a single full-precision S1 would exceed soft quota alone, take the best official compressed release of that model and record the base id as the capability identity.

Do not try to store S1 + S2 + S3 all at full precision on this NAS.


Tier W — optional (quota permitting)

  • Qwen3-14B, R1-Distill-32B, BGE reranker (already catalog medium)
  • Extra quants of models already held in another format
  • Code-specific embeds

Explicitly out

  • Closed API-only weights
  • Full HF org mirrors
  • Multiple anonymous “uncensored” reuploads of the same base

  1. Pin mount path in backup-storage-policy (done 2026-07-28: D:\vault\coulomb\freedom-intelligence\)
  2. R spine (fast wins, unblocks local work)
  3. S1 — single best open general MoE (compressed if needed)
  4. Reassess free space
  5. S4 or S2 next depending on which niche matters more for Coulomb
  6. W-tier only with ≥200 GiB free under soft quota

Catalog

R and selected S/W candidates live under inventory/catalog/. Strategic S entries use tags tier-s, strategic, beyond-run-envelope.
