Validation invariants (IAIso)

Overall conformance: PASS (4 pass / 0 warn / 0 fail / 1 not evaluated)

Invariant	Category	Status	Detail
`iaiso.conversion.integrity`	conversion	PASS	GGUF produced and readable
`iaiso.conversion.efficiency`	conversion	PASS	Size reduction vs original weights (HF param count, ~fp16)

What this repo gives an agent builder

Unlike a bare GGUF re-upload, every file here is designed to be read programmatically before you drop the model into a loop:

scorecard.json — capability tier + per-axis scores (instruction-following, reasoning, tool-calling, structured-output) so your orchestrator can gate on whether this model is strong enough for a given step, without you hand-testing it.
Validation invariants — machine-readable pass/warn/fail records for security posture, transparency, and quantization fidelity. An agent platform can refuse to load a model whose invariants don't meet policy.
SECURITY.md + red-team results — the model's measured resistance to prompt injection and jailbreaks, so you know its susceptibility before you expose it to untrusted input in an agent chain.
SHA256SUMS — verify the exact weights you're running match what was tested.

This is the difference between "here's a quantized model" and "here's a model with a documented, checkable safety and capability profile for autonomous use."

Running Qwen3-0.6B-Q4_K_M locally (LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM)

These are GGUF quantizations of Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B for local inference. Download a single .gguf and load it in LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp / llama-server, KoboldCpp, text-generation-webui, or any llama.cpp-based runner — no Python or GPU cluster required. Pick a size from the compression table above: larger = closer to the original, smaller = less memory. Q4_K_M is the usual best balance.

Using Qwen3-0.6B-Q4_K_M in agentic systems (tool calling, JSON mode)

Built for agent and function-calling workloads. In testing this model reaches L4 Architect/Engineer complexity and is strongest at: reasoning, coding, structured_output, long_context. The repo ships a machine-readable scorecard.json with an agent_hint block (max complexity level, recommended tasks, size/VRAM) so an orchestrator can pick the right model automatically. Pair it with a governance layer (see below) for bounded, audited tool use.

For AI safety & security leaders

Every build in this repo ships with a first-party validation record: a transparency probe (topic-suppression / over-refusal / viewpoint-alignment), quantization fidelity (KL-divergence vs the original), and SHA-256 checksums for tamper verification. This is a documented self-assessment — not third-party certification — with every result included so your team can see exactly what was tested and independently verify the model and its checksums.

Note: the automated security scan was not run for this build (security.posture: not evaluated); the record below covers transparency, quantization fidelity, and checksums. Keywords: LLM security, model governance, agent safety, OWASP LLM Top 10, local/on-prem inference, supply-chain integrity.

About SmartTasks & IAIso

SmartTasks builds tooling for governed, agentic AI workflows. This model was converted and validated with the **SmartTasks GGUF

MoE pipeline** — our proprietary conversion and validation system.

IAIso — governance for agent loops

IAIso is our open framework for bounding what an autonomous agent spends and touches, and proving it afterward. Three primitives: pressure-accumulation rate limiting (one scalar that rises with tokens, tool calls, and planning depth, and triggers an automatic safety release), ConsentScope (signed, scoped, expiring tokens gating sensitive operations), and structured audit (every state change emits a versioned event). It bounds a cooperating agent in-process; for adversarial containment bind it to an out-of-process anchor. (Framework 5.0 · SDK 0.2.0 · beta — you supply your own thresholds/coefficients for your workload.)

pip install iaiso # Python SDK (the only published package today)

python

from iaiso import BoundedExecution, PressureConfig

with BoundedExecution.start(config=PressureConfig()) as execution:
    outcome = execution.record_tool_call(name="search", tokens=500)
    if outcome.name == "ESCALATED":
        ...  # request human review before the next expensive step

Go, Rust, Node/TypeScript, Java, C#, PHP, Swift and Ruby SDKs implement the same spec and live in the repo's core/ (build from source — not yet published to their registries). See the repo for conformance vectors and LIMITATIONS.md.
