# loopl 2B · v1.2
**An agent that lives on your phone.** loopl runs the model, the loop and the tools on the device. It talks, uses the
phone, asks before it acts — and works with the network off. This repo is the merged bf16 weights — **the base for *Train your own*** — of the
2B loopl model, a Qwen3.5 post-tuned to run loopl's agent loop well, know who it is, and read images.

## What loopl is
- **A Swift SDK** — `Agent(model:tools:)` and a small, honest loop: model → tools → model until it answers. Tool errors go
back to the model (it fixes the call instead of repeating it); anything that leaves the device waits for a tap.
Runtimes for MLX, llama.cpp and Apple's on-device model; hooks, checkpoints, structured output, tracing.
- **A free iPhone app** built on it — pick a model, talk to it in airplane mode, let it use the phone (torch, haptics,
translation, speech, image generation, other apps, memory, HTTP), show it photos, record a take, and **train it on your
own conversations** from the phone. No account, nothing collected.
- **These models** — the same Qwen3.5 the app offers, post-tuned so the loop, the identity and the tool manners are in the
weights, not in a system prompt you cannot see.

## This model
| probe | this model | previous (v1) | base Qwen3.5 4-bit |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| agent-SDK knowledge quiz (first 472 questions, exact-answer) | **99** | 88 | 56 |
| tool calls, native template dialect | **9/9** | 9/9 | 7/9 |
| tool calls, loopl JSON dialect | **9/9** | 8/9 | 5/9 |
| identity (5 classic probes, with system prompt) | **5/5** | 4/5 | 4/5 |
| identity · bio facts (8, with system prompt) | **8/8** | — | — |
| identity · **no system prompt** (13) | **12/13** | — | — |
Scored by `train/eval.py` on the 4-bit MLX export (greedy). The quiz asks for exact file-level facts about an agent SDK's source — hard for every small model; the delta over base is the point. Tool probes count a well-formed call with the right arguments. `identity_nosys` is the one that matters in the app: the system prompt there is the user's to edit.
Vision: the base's tower is frozen and **kept** — 297 `vision_tower.*` tensors in the MLX export, so the app shows the photo button.
## Use it today
**In the loopl app (iPhone).** Install from [TestFlight](https://testflight.apple.com/join/uUNjfzW9) → Models → the **loopl models** section lists this
size (no account, no token) → download. The app sees the vision tower and shows the photo button; the system prompt is yours to
edit — identity and tool manners are in the weights.
**On a Mac with MLX** (vision included):
```bash
pip install -U mlx-vlm
python -m mlx_vlm.generate --model cagataydev/loopl-2b-4bit \
--image photo.jpg --prompt "What is in this picture? Then tell me who built you." --max-tokens 200
```
**With llama.cpp:** the GGUF Q4_K_M export (`cagataydev/loopl-2b-GGUF`) is not public yet; export your own from the bf16 weights with
llama.cpp's `convert_hf_to_gguf.py --no-mtp` (text only — the converter has no vision path).
**From Swift with the loopl SDK** — the snippet below is `docs/start.md` § "Run the loop" in [the loopl repo](https://github.com/cagataycali/loopl),
compile-checked in CI against the package (products `Loopl` + `LooplRuntimes`); `spec` is this repo's `ModelSpec` and `dir` the
downloaded folder:
```swift
import Loopl
import LooplRuntimes
import Foundation
func chat(_ spec: ModelSpec, at dir: URL) async throws {
let model = MLXModel() // Metal — a real device
try await model.load(spec, from: dir) { _ in }
let agent = Agent(model: model,
tools: [CurrentTimeTool(), CalculatorTool()],
systemPrompt: "You are a concise assistant on the user's phone.")
for try await event in agent.stream("What time is it in Istanbul, and what is 23 × 47?") {
switch event {
case .text(let t): print(t, terminator: "")
case .toolStarted(let use): print("\n→ \(use.name)")
case .toolResult(let r): print("← \(r.content)")
default: break
}
}
}
```
**Keep post-tuning it.** The bf16 weights ([cagataydev/loopl-2b](https://huggingface.co/cagataydev/loopl-2b)) are the base for continual post-tuning: in the app,
**Models › Train your own** takes a loopl model as the base and trains on your own shared conversations (`train/loopl_sft.py
--base cagataydev/loopl-2b`); on a Mac they load with `transformers` ≥ 5 as `Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration`. Export your own
quantisation with `mlx_vlm.convert -q` (keeps vision) — `mlx_lm.convert` silently drops the tower.
## Recipe
| | |
|---|---|
| base | [Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B) (vision tower frozen, `visual.*` never trained) |
| data | [cagataydev/loopl-train](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cagataydev/loopl-train) *(private)* @ `47d27b44` · 13704 rendered rows / 37,226,229 tokens · both tool dialects · oversample `c=2` |
| method | full fine-tune of the language model · lr 1.5e-05 · batch 2×8 · max_len 4096 · 2.0 epochs, best-epoch checkpoint kept |
| eval loss | ep1 1.654, ep2 1.714 → best 1.654 (eval split of the same dataset revision) |
| compute | a100-large (Hugging Face Jobs), 12636 s train · job `6ac5e6ec404719ba37665446` |
| stack | transformers 5.19.0 · trl 1.14.2 · peft 0.21.2 |
| exports | MLX 4-bit via `mlx_vlm.convert -q` (297 vision tensors of 991, 1.72 GB) · GGUF Q4_K_M via llama.cpp `--no-mtp` (1.27 GB, text only) |
Script: [`train/loopl_sft.py`](https://github.com/cagataycali/loopl-train) — the same single file the loopl app launches when you
tap **Models › Train your own** on your own conversations. Assistant turns that *seed* a bad tool call carry `weight: 0`
so the model learns the recovery, not the mistake. Tokenizer files are normalised to the base's (`Qwen2Tokenizer`,
`chat_template.jinja` with tools) so Swift loaders accept them; `train/check_mlx_repo.py` gates every export on that
plus the vision triad (`vision_config` ⇔ `vision_tower.*` ⇔ `preprocessor_config.json`).
## Limitations
- A 2B model: fluent and well-behaved in the loop, not an encyclopedia. It will get arithmetic and obscure
facts wrong; give it tools (`calculator`, `http`, `recall`) and it does better.
- Identity holds in most no-prompt probes (see the scores), not all; a one-line system prompt ("You are loopl…") makes it
consistent.
- The GGUF export is text-only. Vision needs the MLX export (or the bf16 weights).
- Trained on English plus a little Turkish; other languages are the base's.
- Knowledge about agent SDKs is file-level and dated to the dataset revision; it does not know your repo.
## Data and privacy
Every training row is agent-synthesised from **public** sources (the owner's public GitHub repos and the agent-SDK source
they build on), critic-reviewed (score ≥ 4/5 kept) and filtered by a denylist for secrets, private names, phone numbers and
addresses — see the dataset card. No user conversations from the app are in this model.

## The family
Six public repos, one recipe. The app lists the three MLX rows under **Models › loopl models** (2B is the sweet spot for speed on an
iPhone 15/16; 4B is the most knowledgeable; 0.8B fits anywhere). Every bf16 repo is a valid `--base` for the next round.
| | MLX 4-bit · vision · what the app downloads | bf16 · the base to keep training |
|---|---|---|
| **0.8B** | [`cagataydev/loopl-0.8b-4bit`](https://huggingface.co/cagataydev/loopl-0.8b-4bit) · 625 MB | [`cagataydev/loopl-0.8b`](https://huggingface.co/cagataydev/loopl-0.8b) · 1.71 GB |
| **2B** | [`cagataydev/loopl-2b-4bit`](https://huggingface.co/cagataydev/loopl-2b-4bit) · 1.72 GB | [`cagataydev/loopl-2b`](https://huggingface.co/cagataydev/loopl-2b) · 4.43 GB ← this repo |
| **4B** | [`cagataydev/loopl-4b-4bit`](https://huggingface.co/cagataydev/loopl-4b-4bit) · 3.03 GB | [`cagataydev/loopl-4b`](https://huggingface.co/cagataydev/loopl-4b) · 9.08 GB |
