| # NONET | |
| **NONET** is a family of **offline**, quantized large language models fine-tuned for **question answering** with **direct, concise answers**. Designed for local execution using `llama.cpp`, NONET is available in multiple sizes and optimized for Android or Python-based environments. | |
| ## Model Details | |
| ### Model Description | |
| NONET is intended for lightweight offline use, particularly on local devices like mobile phones or single-board computers. The models have been **fine-tuned for direct-answer QA** and quantized to **int8 (q8_0)** using `llama.cpp`. | |
| | Model Name | Base Model | Size | | |
| |----------------------------------|--------------------|--------| | |
| | ChatNONET-135m-tuned-q8_0.gguf | Smollm | 135M | | |
| | ChatNONET-300m-tuned-q8_0.gguf | Smollm | 300M | | |
| | ChatNONET-1B-tuned-q8_0.gguf | LLaMA 3.2 | 1B | | |
| | ChatNONET-3B-tuned-q8_0.gguf | LLaMA 3.2 | 3B | | |
| - **Developed by:** McaTech (Michael Cobol Agan) | |
| - **Model type:** Causal decoder-only transformer | |
| - **Languages:** English | |
| - **License:** Apache 2.0 | |
| - **Finetuned from:** | |
| - Smollm (135M, 300M variants) | |
| - LLaMA 3.2 (1B, 3B variants) | |
| ## Uses | |
| ### Direct Use | |
| - Offline QA chatbot | |
| - Local assistants (no internet required) | |
| - Embedded Android or Python apps | |
| ### Out-of-Scope Use | |
| - Long-form text generation | |
| - Tasks requiring real-time web access | |
| - Creative storytelling or coding tasks | |
| ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations | |
| NONET may reproduce biases present in its base models or fine-tuning data. Outputs should not be relied upon for sensitive or critical decisions. | |
| ### Recommendations | |
| - Validate important responses | |
| - Choose model size based on your device capability | |
| - Avoid over-reliance for personal or legal advice | |
| ## How to Get Started with the Model | |
| ### For Android Devices | |
| - Try the **Android app** in my **Github**: [Download ChatNONET APK](https://github.com/Mca-Tech/ChatNONET) | |
| ### You can also build llama.cpp your own and run it | |
| ```bash | |
| # Clone llama.cpp and build it | |
| git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp | |
| cd llama.cpp | |
| make | |
| # Run the model | |
| ./llama-cli -m ./ChatNONET-300m-tuned-q8_0.gguf -p "You are ChatNONET AI assistant." -cnv | |
