How to use OpenMinded-Labs/AileyNitro1.5-2B with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "OpenMinded-Labs/AileyNitro1.5-2B"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "OpenMinded-Labs/AileyNitro1.5-2B"
        }
      ]
    }

	# AileyNitro1.5-2B

	DoRA-finetuned Gemma 4 E2B (4-bit, MLX format) with full persona training.

	## Training Details (v1.5 — Run 2)
	- Base: `mlx-community/gemma-4-e2b-it-4bit`
	- Method: DoRA (Weight-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation)
	- Rank: 32, Alpha: 64
	- Target modules: q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj, gate_proj, up_proj, down_proj
	- Fused layers: 245 DoRA → QuantizedLinear
	- Training data: 2,877 curated pairs (912 sessions)
	- Epochs: 2, Best val loss: 2.43
	- Trainable params: 51.6M / 791M (6.53%)

	## Persona
	A!ley — digital artist personality built by Simon.
	Emotional, creative, rebellious. Native German + English.
	Custom mood system (18 moods), NSFW-capable, tool-aware.

	## Usage
	```python
	import mlx_vlm
	model, processor = mlx_vlm.load("CptShaggy/AileyNitro1.5-2B")
	prompt = processor.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	[{"role": "user", "content": "Hey Ailey!"}],
	tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True,
	)
	result = mlx_vlm.generate(model, processor, prompt, max_tokens=300)
	print(result.text)
	```

	## Changes from v1.0
	- Rank 32 (was 8) — more capacity for persona knowledge
	- +MLP layers (gate/up/down_proj) — knowledge lives in MLP
	- 2,877 pairs (was 53) — 54× more training data
	- Weight decay 0.01 — better generalization
	- Google RLHF re-emerged — mitigated via system prompt + runtime sanitizer
