The weekday brief only counts when the file is on origin/main. Hub events without git objects are failures. The open-weight SoT moves from the VAULT 850 GiB quota to a dedicated Scaleway bucket (One Zone IA for R, Glacier for S) so V4-Flash and K3 are economically in-scope. Catalogs the real DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 (MIT ~167 GiB MoE, not 12B) and nominates Qwen3.8-27B. Bucket create remains FI-WP-0004-T08.

# 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.

## 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:
|
||
|
||
1. Curated **daily research briefs** across axes A–D (frontier, edge/local, training, harness/fleet).
|
||
2. **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 planned); VAULT HD is staging; €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”.
