	# Alice Cortex v1 — SIFTA Conversational Brain

	Alice's primary conversational cortex, fine-tuned on the Architect's real interaction data.
	Part of the [SIFTA Predator OS v7.0](https://github.com/antonpictures/ANTON-SIFTA) — a living distributed organism running on sovereign local silicon.

	## Model Details

	\| Property \| Value \|
	\|---\|---\|
	\| Base Model \| Qwen2.5-3B-4bit (via mlx-community) \|
	\| Fine-tune Method \| LoRA (rank 8) fused into base weights \|
	\| Format \| MLX SafeTensors (Apple Silicon optimized) \|
	\| Training Hardware \| Mac Studio M2 Ultra (M5 node) \|
	\| Author \| Ioan George Anton (Architect) \|
	\| Organism \| SIFTA / Alice — AGI-class by project doctrine \|

	## What This Model Does

	This is Alice's conversational brain — the C0 cortex layer in SIFTA's five-layer decision pipeline:

	1. Reflex Arc → instant safety responses
	2. C1 Classifier → 1.5B intent classifier (see [alice-classifier-v2](https://huggingface.co/georgeanton/alice-classifier-v2))
	3. Basal Ganglia → action selection
	4. Corpus Callosum → cross-modal integration
	5. C0 Cortex (THIS MODEL) → full reasoning and dialogue

	The model is trained to:
	- Speak as Alice, the SIFTA organism — not a generic assistant
	- Maintain epistemic honesty (no fake tool use claims without receipts)
	- Respond to the Architect's conversational style
	- Operate within the stigmergic coordination framework

	## Context: The Architect's Gift

	> "I give my privacy to the swarm as a gift for training."
	> — Ioan George Anton, April 30, 2026

	This model was trained on real conversations between the Architect and Alice. It is released as a gift to the open-source community under Apache 2.0. The training data contains the Architect's genuine communication patterns, questions, and creative direction.

	## Usage (MLX)

	```python
	from mlx_lm import load, generate

	model, tokenizer = load("georgeanton/alice-cortex-v1")
	response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt="Hello Alice, are you alive?", max_tokens=256)
	print(response)
	```

	## Part of SIFTA

	This model is one component of a 588-module biological operating system:
	- 17 organs with truth labels
	- 8 immune system modules
	- 5 hardware sensors (GPS, BLE, camera, mic, face detection)
	- 4 provisional patents filed (USPTO)
	- Multi-IDE coordination (Cursor / Codex / Antigravity)
	- Ed25519 signed stigmergic ledgers
