Add 2026-08-03 week catch-up brief with Kimi K3 as S1 strategic (collection deferred on ~1454 GiB vs 850 GiB soft quota), document recurrence ops, and add a workstation due-notice consumer cron helper. Production schedule was applied to railiance ConfigMap and Temporal (weekdays 07:30 Europe/Berlin).
3.4 KiB
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) | ~20–30 GiB | |
| Subtotal (fp16-ish) | ~50–55 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 GiB–TB.
| Priority | Capability niche | Representative targets (verify current HF id + license at pull) | Size class (order of magnitude) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | Best open general / MoE chat | Kimi K3 (moonshotai/Kimi-K3, Jul 2026) — primary; DeepSeek-V3/V4 secondary |
K3 full ~1454 GiB (exceeds 850 GiB soft quota — capacity decision); V3/V4 class hundreds of GiB quant |
| 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) | tens–hundreds GiB |
| S4 | Strong open dense mid-large | Qwen3-72B or Llama 3.3 70B / Llama 4 open text variant | ~40–150 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 (~30–55 GiB)
+ S1 one primary giant quant (~300–450 GiB) ← first strategic fill
+ optional S4 dense 70B (~40–80 GiB Q4)
+ embeds already in R
+ staging headroom
≈ 400–600 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
Download order (recommended)
- Pin mount path in backup-storage-policy (done 2026-07-28:
D:\vault\coulomb\freedom-intelligence\) - R spine (fast wins, unblocks local work)
- S1 — single best open general MoE (compressed if needed)
- Reassess free space
- S4 or S2 next depending on which niche matters more for Coulomb
- W-tier only with ≥200 GiB free under soft quota
