| # Tali Models |
|
|
| Production model index for the **Tali on-device AI runtime** that powers TaliOS — the voice-first, accessibility-driven operating layer built by Intelligent Devices LLC / Augmentalis Inc. |
|
|
| This repository is a catalogue. The actual model weights live in dedicated sibling repositories under the `IDEAHQ` namespace. Models are downloaded automatically by TaliOS apps via the AssetDelivery module — there is no manual installation step for end users. |
|
|
| ## Model Families |
|
|
| | Family | Purpose in TaliOS | Repository | |
| |--------|-------------------|------------| |
| | **Tali STT** | Converts spoken audio into text. Runs continuously when the user is talking to TaliOS. Tuned for low latency on mobile NPUs so commands feel instantaneous. | [`IDEAHQ/ava-whisper`](https://huggingface.co/IDEAHQ/ava-whisper) | |
| | **Tali NLU** | Embedding model for **Natural Language Understanding**. Maps a sentence to a fixed-size vector so TaliOS can match what the user said against the catalogue of voice commands and accessibility hints, even when phrasing varies. Runs in milliseconds on CPU. | [`IDEAHQ/ava-nlu`](https://huggingface.co/IDEAHQ/ava-nlu) | |
| | **Tali Storm** | On-device **LLM** (large language model) family for general dialogue, command interpretation, and tool-use. Sized for phones and tablets — small enough to run without the network, large enough to hold a real conversation. | [`IDEAHQ/ava-storm`](https://huggingface.co/IDEAHQ/ava-storm) | |
| | **Tali Nautilus** | On-device **LLM** family tuned for reasoning-heavy and vision-language workloads. Used when TaliOS needs to plan multi-step actions, reason over screen content, or interpret images. | [`IDEAHQ/ava-nautilus`](https://huggingface.co/IDEAHQ/ava-nautilus) | |

|
|
| The full per-family variant list lives in each family's repository README. |
|
|
| ## Why on-device |
|
|
| Every model in this catalogue runs on the user's device. TaliOS does not send voice or screen content to a server for inference. This is a privacy-by-architecture decision, not a feature flag — there is no cloud fallback path in the production runtime. |
|
|
| ## File Format |
|
|
| All shipped weights are wrapped in **AON** — Tali's encrypted, signed asset container format. AON files cannot be opened without the runtime; they are decrypted in-process and cached in private app storage. The `.aon` extension is the only format external tooling sees. |
