# 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
|
||
|
||
1. **Operator:** pin backup path + soft quota in `docs/backup-storage-policy.md`.
|
||
2. **activity-core:** ship `fi_brief_status`, register external `activity-definitions/`, dry-run, then enable schedule (FI-WP-0002).
|
||
3. **After pin:** approve/download P0 (FI-WP-0003).
|
||
4. **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.
