# 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
