	# lux

	Fine-tuned [Qwen3-1.7B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B) for Linux system administration tool calls. Powers the slow path of the [lux CLI](https://github.com/henrywang/lux) — when the rule-based fast path can't classify a request, this model parses it into a structured tool invocation.

	This repo ships the raw GGUF weights + Modelfile. If you want the full CLI experience (with luxd, ollama, pre-pulled weights, and a REPL), use [`henrywangxf/lux-portable`](https://huggingface.co/henrywangxf/lux-portable) instead.

	## Usage

	### With ollama (recommended)

	```bash
	ollama pull hf.co/henrywangxf/lux
	ollama run hf.co/henrywangxf/lux "restart nginx"
	```

	Ollama reads the bundled `Modelfile` automatically — SYSTEM prompt, template, and sampling params come with the pull.

	### With llama.cpp

	```bash
	wget https://huggingface.co/henrywangxf/lux/resolve/main/qwen3-1.7b.Q4_K_M.gguf
	./llama-cli -m qwen3-1.7b.Q4_K_M.gguf -p "restart nginx"
	```

	You'll need to supply your own prompt template — see `Modelfile` in this repo for the one lux expects.

	## What the model outputs

	Trained to emit tool calls for lux's registry. Typical interaction:

	```
	user: my disk is almost full
	model: {"tool": "check_disk_usage", "args": {}}
	```

	```
	user: install firefox
	model: {"tool": "install_flatpak", "args": {"app": "org.mozilla.firefox"}}
	```

	The full tool schema lives in [lux-tools](https://github.com/henrywang/lux/tree/main/crates/lux-tools). If you're using this model outside of lux, you'll need to parse these tool calls and dispatch them yourself.

	## Training

	- Base: [Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B) (Apache 2.0)
	- Method: LoRA fine-tuning on a curated set of Linux sysadmin tool-use traces
	- Quantization: Q4_K_M (GGUF)
	- Recipe: see [finetune/](https://github.com/henrywang/lux/tree/main/finetune) in the main repo

	## Intended use

	- Parsing natural-language sysadmin requests into structured tool calls
	- Running locally on a laptop (≥8 GB RAM is comfortable for Q4_K_M)
	- Integrating with your own agent loop over lux's tool schema — or using lux directly

	## Limitations

	- English only.
	- Tuned for Fedora / RHEL-family systems (dnf, systemd, firewalld). Other distros work for most tools but package-manager queries degrade.
	- Not a general-purpose chatbot — asking unrelated questions produces garbage tool calls.
	- Small model, small context. Multi-turn conversations longer than a handful of exchanges will drift; lux avoids this by keeping history trimmed.
	- Destructive actions are not gated by the model — that's the job of the lux CLI, which asks for confirmation before running anything destructive. If you call the model directly, implement your own confirmation step.
