tegwick 70cbfe0c6c Catch up field brief, catalog Kimi K3, and wire live daily recurrence.
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).

# 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)** | **~2030 GiB** | |
| **Subtotal (fp16-ish)** | **~5055 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 GiBTB.
| 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) | tenshundreds GiB |
| **S4** | Strong open dense mid-large | Qwen3-72B or Llama 3.3 70B / Llama 4 open text variant | ~40150 GiB quant / larger fp |
| **S5** | Efficient open frontier family | Gemma 4 large open variants | tens of GiB |
**1 TB portfolio rule of thumb**
```text
R spine (~3055 GiB)
+ S1 one primary giant quant (~300450 GiB) ← first strategic fill
+ optional S4 dense 70B (~4080 GiB Q4)
+ embeds already in R
+ staging headroom
≈ 400600 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)
1. Pin mount path in backup-storage-policy (done 2026-07-28: `D:\vault\coulomb\freedom-intelligence\`)
2. **R spine** (fast wins, unblocks local work)
3. **S1** — single best open general MoE (compressed if needed)
4. Reassess free space
5. **S4** or **S2** next depending on which niche matters more for Coulomb
6. W-tier only with ≥200 GiB free under soft quota
---
## Catalog
R and selected S/W candidates live under `inventory/catalog/`. Strategic S
entries use tags `tier-s`, `strategic`, `beyond-run-envelope`.
