IcaroLM is a fine-tuned and quantized version of Qwen2 1.5B, designed specifically for on-device mobile applications. By leveraging a 1.5B parameter architecture and quantization, the model is approximately 600MB in size, making it practical for local deployment on smartphones and edge devices without requiring cloud connectivity.
IcaroLM has been fine-tuned for two primary objectives: maintaining emotionally intelligent conversations and executing reliable function calls within a chat flow.
Key Features
- Mobile-Ready Footprint: The quantized model is roughly 600MB, allowing for efficient storage and inference on consumer mobile hardware.
- Function Calling: Explicitly fine-tuned to understand and execute function calls, enabling local task automation and tool use.
- Empathetic Chat: Trained on datasets curated for emotional intelligence, allowing for more natural and supportive interactions compared to base models.
Use Cases
- Mobile Assistants: Local chatbots that can perform actions on the device (via function calling) without sending data to the server.
- Emotional Support Apps: Companion applications requiring a more empathetic and nuanced conversational tone.
- Edge Automation: Task-oriented agents that need to run locally with low latency.

"description":"Get the latest news.",
"parameters":{
"type":"object",
"properties":{
"location":{
"type":"string",
"description":"The location for which to fetch news"
}

"description": "Get the current weather",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA"
},
},
"required": ["location"],
},
}]<|im_end|>
