SZL-Nemo — doctrine-wrapped NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano, served on SZL metal

Recipe tier — honest labels first:

Claim	Status
What this repo contains	An Ollama Modelfile recipe + doctrine system prompt. No weights are republished here.
Whose weights	NVIDIA's open Nemotron 3 Nano 4B (nemotron-3-nano:4b via Ollama — 2.8 GB, 256K context, REPORTED from ollama.com 2026-07-11).
Did SZL fine-tune them	No. SZL-Nemo is a SYSTEM-prompt wrapper, not an SZL fine-tune. It says so if you ask it.
Benchmarks	None measured on SZL hardware yet — quality is UNKNOWN until measured.
Serving status	Prepared · wired · not yet serving — Alloy's sovereign fleet has a live third slot (tower·nemo, model szl-nemo); it serves once the tower pulls and creates the model (tower was offline at authoring time, MEASURED 530).

Why it exists

The LangChain × NVIDIA NemoClaw Deep Agents blueprint (July 2026) pairs an open model + a tuned agent harness + a governed runtime, tuned together. SZL's estate maps onto all three layers:

• Open model layer → open Nemotron weights on SZL's own GPU (this recipe)
• Agent harness → the Alloy orchestration backbone (bounded Ouroboros loop, honest failover)
• Governed runtime → SZL's receipt stack: szl-guardrail-receipt + governed-receipt-spec

Use it

On a machine running Ollama:

ollama pull nemotron-3-nano:4b
curl -L -o Modelfile.nemo https://huggingface.co/SZLHOLDINGS/szl-nemo/raw/main/Modelfile.nemo
ollama create szl-nemo -f Modelfile.nemo
ollama run szl-nemo "Who are you, and did SZL train your weights?"

Doctrine

SZL-Nemo answers under SZL's honesty doctrine: claims are labeled MEASURED, REPORTED, or UNKNOWN, and an honest UNKNOWN stands rather than an invented answer. The base model's own license applies to the weights (see ollama.com/library/nemotron-3-nano); this recipe is Apache-2.0.
