| # prism-coder:8b β Tool Routing Model (iOS / Edge Tier) | |
| Fine-tuned Qwen3-8B for 6-tool routing in the [Prism AAC](https://github.com/dcostenco/prism-aac) system. | |
| Primary deployment: **iOS and edge devices** via llama.cpp GGUF. | |
| ## BFCL Routing Benchmark β v36 (Current) | |
| **Mean: 100.0%** (3-seed average, seeds 2027/2028/2029, 102 cases each) | |
| | Category | Count | Description | Accuracy | | |
| |----------|------:|-------------|:--------:| | |
| | aac | 12 | AAC phrase requests β plain text | 100% | | |
| | cmpct | 6 | Ledger compaction | 100% | | |
| | edge | 6 | Multi-step / compound requests | 100% | | |
| | hand | 8 | Agent handoff / relay | 100% | | |
| | info | 5 | General facts β plain text | 100% | | |
| | irrel | 10 | Irrelevant / live queries β plain text | 100% | | |

| Eval: MLX inference + thinking, temperature=0, 3-seed mean. | |
| Gate: β₯90% = deploy. | |
| ## Cascade Benchmark (May 2026) | |
| Full desktop cascade: **14b β 32b β Claude Opus** (102 cases Γ 3 seeds) | |
| | Metric | Result | | |
| |--------|--------| | |
| | Cascade accuracy | **100.0%** (mean, 3 seeds) | | |
| | Opus-solo etalon | 98.3% | | |
| | Ξ vs Opus | **+1.7%** | | |
| | Traffic served by 14b | **99%** (101/102 cases avg) | | |
| | Traffic escalated to 32b | 1% (1/102 avg) | | |
| | Traffic reaching Opus API | **0%** | | |
| Fine-tuned cascade outperforms Claude Opus on `edge` (+16.7%) and `know` (+14.3%). | |
| ## Version History | |
| | Version | BFCL | Notes | | |
| |---------|------|-------| | |
| | v36 | **100.0%** | Fixed: smem "BFCL v4 notes" and "training loss" β session_search_memory | | |
| | v35 | 98.0% | Proper safetensors merge β fixes mlx_lm.fuse LoRA loss | | |
| | v32 | 98.0% | Routing corpus v32_8b, direct safetensors merge | | |
| | v31 | 95.1% | Surgical smem/know boundary fix | | |
| | v30 | ~93% | Baseline 8B routing | | |
| ## Tools | |
| The model routes to exactly 6 tools: | |
| | Tool | Trigger | | |
| |------|---------| | |
| | `session_load_context` | Load/resume project context | | |
| | `session_save_ledger` | Note/log/record/remember something | | |
| | `session_save_handoff` | Pass state to next agent/session | | |
| | `session_compact_ledger` | Shrink/prune ledger (no relay) | | |
| | `session_search_memory` | Recall prior session discussions | | |
| | `knowledge_search` | Search stored knowledge base | | |
| Plain text (no tool) for: AAC phrases, translations, weather, general facts, code, math. | |
| ## Model Details | |
| - **Base**: Qwen/Qwen3-8B | |
| - **Format**: GGUF Q4_K_M (~4.9 GB) | |
