Pyxon SLLM v0

Arabic-first small language model for edge and on-device AI
Built by PYXON.AI · Research · Labs · Production AI · Beta · v.2026

Why pay for a 7B cloud model when a 1.5B model on your device can carry the workload — especially with retrieval?

What this is

Pyxon SLLM v0 is a ~1.5B Arabic instruction model fine-tuned for chat and edge deployment. It is part of PYXON AI Labs’ on-device research line: lightweight models that run offline, keep data on-device, and pair with retrieval (RAG) when accuracy must match larger cloud systems.

Name pyxon-sllm-v0
Base Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct
Focus Modern Standard Arabic instruction-following
Method QLoRA supervised fine-tuning on public Arabic datasets
Runtime artifact pyxon-sllm-v0.gguf (q8_0)
Designed for Phone / edge / Ollama / offline assistants

From the Labs

PYXON.AI is PYXON’s research division — scientists and engineers building AI that performs on Arabic-language and on-device challenges, not slides.

This release sits next to Pyxon On-Device RAG: research showing that small models plus device-specific retrieval can match or beat much larger baselines while staying compatible with mobile compute, memory, and privacy constraints.

RAG · edge computing · mobile · LLM · on-device AI · benchmarks

A 1,500-question benchmark from three phone manuals shows RAG lifting small on-device models to 100% accuracy versus ~21–37% without retrieval, with analysis of size, latency, and device-specific knowledge bases.

pip install -r requirements.txt

python prepare_data.py --include_evol
python train.py --data data/train.jsonl --eval_data data/val.jsonl

# if merge already done:
# python merge_and_export.py --skip_merge --quant q8_0

Requires a GPU with ~16 GB VRAM for QLoRA. Checklist: llm.txt.


Intended use

  • Arabic chat / Q&A on edge devices
  • Offline or privacy-sensitive assistants
  • Backbone for on-device RAG (retrieve from local docs, then generate)

Not a substitute for specialist medical, legal, or safety-critical systems without human review.
