The just in case open weights model lab

Coulomb / NetKingdom lab for:

1. Daily research briefs on AI models, methods, harness, and tooling
2. An open-weight model reserve on backup storage for possible local training or ops

Standing lenses: A frontier & price · B edge/local open · C homelab training · D agent harness & fleet

Collection plan (bulk reserve)

SoT: Scaleway Object Storage nl-ams · bucket railiance-fi-open-weight-reserve
Gate: €15 / month · R = One Zone IA · S = Glacier
Transfer: diskless streaming on Railiance → Scaleway; operations Policy: store the most capable open weights even if unrunnable today
(docs/decisions/2026-09-13-scaleway-object-reserve.md).

Tier	Examples
R — runnable spine	Qwen3-8B, Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct, BGE-M3, R1-Distill-14B, nomic-embed
S — strategic	DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 (first pull), Kimi K3, V3/R1 full, 70B-class
W — optional	Qwen3.8-27B, 14B/32B upgrades, reranker

Quick ops

New brief

mkdir -p briefs/$(date +%Y/%m)
cp briefs/_template.md briefs/$(date +%Y/%m)/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md
# follow docs/daily-brief-playbook.md

Bulk reserve collection streams on Railiance directly to Scaleway. Never stage model weights in WSL. See streaming operations.

Durability check (hub events vs git files):

python3 scripts/verify_brief_durability.py --require-hub
