Freedom Intelligence Daily Brief — 2026-07-24

First daily brief. Field landscape is covered by the baseline survey (research/2026-07-24-baseline-field-survey.md). This file is a delta plus lab boot status — not a second full survey.

Headline deltas

Lab live: Freedom Intelligence foundation committed and pushed (b5f9111); workplans FI-WP-0001…0003 active.
Baseline research persisted with P0/P1 open-weight collection recommendations and catalog candidates.
Activity-core path designed: fi-daily-research-brief definition drafted (enabled: false); fi_brief_status resolver landing in activity-core.
No major same-day open-weight release confirmed beyond the baseline window; public trackers still show a quiet open-source week after earlier 2026 waves (Gemma 4, GLM-5.1, DeepSeek V4-class, etc.).
Frontier pricing structure unchanged at order-of-magnitude: ultra-cheap DeepSeek-class APIs vs expensive flagship output tokens — re-check provider pages before budget moves.

Frontier & commercial (axis A)

Item	Delta	Sources	Lab relevance
Gemini 3.6 Flash (tracked ~2026-07-21)	Recent fast-tier closed release in public trackers	release trackers / Google product notes (verify)	Budget automation tier via llm-connect if quality fits
Claude Code default model churn (Sonnet 5-class reporting)	Harness defaults and promo pricing still fluid mid-2026	Anthropic release notes / coding-agent digests	Compare closed agent quality bar; not a local collect

(No new flagship price sheet change verified for this brief day — treat baseline §2 as still current.)

Edge / local / open (axis B)

Item	Delta	Sources	Lab relevance
Open-source weekly feed quiet	Trackers report few/no new open releases this week	llm-stats / open LLM update pages (directional)	P0 spine from baseline remains valid; no catalog displacement today

Training & specialization (axis C)

(none — no new homelab-method release flagged today.)

Harness & fleet (axis D)

Item	Delta	Sources	Lab relevance
FI daily rhythm design	activity-core emit → playbook → `fi_daily_brief`	this repo activity-definitions + docs	Enables weekday automation once resolver + path registered
Closed agent productization	Claude for Government / Code beta notes continue	Anthropic product updates	Axis D awareness only; sand-boxer remains Coulomb execution place

Collection candidates

No new candidates beyond baseline seed. Existing P0 catalog entries stand:

Candidate	Source / revision	License	Est. size	Why reserve	Priority
Qwen3-8B	HF Qwen/Qwen3-8B	Apache-2.0 (confirm)	~5–16 GB	Default local + FT	high
Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct	HF meta-llama	Llama community	~2–6 GB	Edge	high
BGE-M3	HF BAAI/bge-m3	MIT	~2 GB	Multilingual RAG	high
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B	HF deepseek-ai	MIT	~9–28 GB	Local reason	high
nomic-embed-text-v1.5	HF nomic-ai	Apache-2.0	<1 GB	Light embed	high

See inventory/catalog/*__candidate.yaml. Blocked on backup storage pin (FI-WP-0001-T04).

Lab implications

Operator: pin backup path + soft quota in docs/backup-storage-policy.md.
activity-core: ship fi_brief_status, register external activity-definitions/, dry-run, then enable schedule (FI-WP-0002).
After pin: approve/download P0 (FI-WP-0003).
Tomorrow’s brief: pure external delta only — baseline + this boot day already recorded.

Notes / caveats

Same calendar day as baseline survey; external signal intentionally thin.
Price and leaderboard figures remain directional until re-verified on official pages.
