SCOPE
This file helps you quickly understand what this repository is about, when it is relevant, and when it is not. It is intentionally lightweight and may be incomplete.
Aspirational charter:
INTENT.md· Founding record:history/InitialExploration.md
One-liner
Daily AI research briefs (models, methods, harness, tooling) plus an open-weight model reserve on lab backup storage — Coulomb/NetKingdom intelligence lab.
Core Idea
Freedom Intelligence is a sensing and reserve repository:
- Curated daily research briefs across axes A–D (frontier, edge/local, training, harness/fleet).
- Inventory + collection policy for open-weight models retained on backup-class storage for possible later local training or operations.
Git holds briefs, schemas, policies, and catalog metadata. Model weight blobs stay off hot cluster disks on designated backup storage.
In Scope
Research brief
- Daily brief production using
briefs/_template.md - Layout under
briefs/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md - Standing coverage of axes A–D when there is signal
- Collection-candidate flagging for the model reserve
- Source citation and durable archive of briefs in-repo
Model reserve
- Inventory schema and catalog entries (
inventory/) - Collection approval policy and license gate
- Backup storage target and capacity policy (
docs/backup-storage-policy.md) - Metadata required to rehydrate a revision (source, hash, license, size, hardware class)
- Companion artifacts when justified (tokenizers, adapters, small eval fixtures)
Lab documentation
- INTENT / SCOPE / history
- Optional delivery notes for State Hub / operator inbox (
docs/state-hub-delivery.md) - Hardware envelope notes as they become known
Out of Scope
| Concern | Belongs elsewhere |
|---|---|
| Public model mirror / CDN | Not this lab |
| 24/7 inference serving of the full reserve | Future ops facility / runtime repos |
| Frontier-scale pre-training from scratch | Hyperscale; not homelab commitment |
| Closed-weight collection or ToS-violating scrapes | Forbidden |
| Provider-neutral LLM client library | llm-connect |
| Console assistant UX | can-you-assist |
| Sandbox establishment service | sand-boxer |
| Platform identity / secrets / bootstrap | net-kingdom, key-cape |
| General disaster backup governance | disaster-control |
| Domain application fine-tune pipelines (end-to-end) | Domain repos; this lab only reserves bases and tracks methods |
Relevant When
- You need the daily or historical AI field picture for Coulomb/NetKingdom decisions
- You are evaluating frontier vs open/local options (capability, price, license)
- You want to know whether an open-weight model is (or should be) in the lab reserve
- You are planning homelab-scale specialization and need method / model candidates
- You are designing agent harness or fleet work and want external signal on that axis
Not Relevant When
- You need an LLM API client (use
llm-connect) - You need to provision agent sandboxes (use
sand-boxer) - You need platform IAM or secrets (use NetKingdom / KeyCape)
- You only need one-off news without archival brief or inventory discipline
Current State
| Area | Status |
|---|---|
| Overall | Repairing the operating loop — foundation exists; origin publication + Scaleway SoT in FI-WP-0004 |
| INTENT / SCOPE | Live; SCOPE current-state refreshed 2026-09-13 |
| Baseline survey | research/2026-07-24-baseline-field-survey.md |
| Briefs | Origin last 2026-08-14; catch-up 2026-09-13; weekday schedule still enabled |
| Backup storage | Scaleway nl-ams (bucket live); remote diskless transfer; €15/mo gate |
| Inventory | R verified on VAULT cache; V4-Flash S1 approved (not collected); K3 Glacier-affordable; Qwen3.8-27B candidate |
| Reserve policy | Capability-first — not gated by current VRAM; not gated by 850 GiB |
| Activity-core | Definition enabled; completion = brief on origin/main |
| Executor | rein-aharness fi-research-brief must push or the day fails |
| State Hub | Repo under agents; fi_daily_brief is not evidence without the git file |
| Workplans | FI-WP-0001…0003 finished; FI-WP-0004 active |
How It Fits
| Direction | Systems |
|---|---|
| Upstream | Public model hubs, papers, pricing pages, release notes, harness projects |
| Peer | llm-connect, sand-boxer, net-kingdom, disaster-control, domain repos |
| Downstream (future) | Local inference/training facility, specialized domain agents, operator decision-making |
| Distribution (optional) | State Hub progress/inbox, operator mail/wiki |

Terminology
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Brief | Dated research digest under briefs/ |
| Axis A–D | Standing monitoring lenses (frontier, edge/local, training, harness) |
| Reserve | Open-weight collection on backup storage |
| Catalog entry | In-repo inventory metadata for one model revision |
| Collection candidate | Brief-flagged artifact not yet approved/collected |
| Hardware envelope | Lab hosts that define “homelab accessible” for B/C |
Preferred terms: research brief, open-weight reserve, inventory, collection policy.
Avoid: “mirror of Hugging Face”, “our AI product”, “always-on model zoo”.
