# 🦁 Lionsgate AI Lab

**Independent AI research lab exploring local LLM inference, model quantization, agentic systems, and software architecture.**

We explore how open-weight language models behave in practical environments, with a focus on reproducibility, reliability, and the trade-offs involved in running advanced AI systems on local hardware.

### What we explore

- **Local inference & quantization** — deploying, optimizing, and evaluating open-weight models on NVIDIA DGX Spark and other local hardware.
- **Model validation** — investigating numerical and behavioral regressions, reproducing reported issues, and independently verifying corrections.
- **Agentic systems** — evaluating coding agents, tool use, context management, and end-to-end task completion.
- **Software architecture** — designing dependable orchestration, execution boundaries, and agentic workflows.

### Published research

**[MiMo-V2.6-Flash-MOPD · EXL3 2.52 bpw](https://huggingface.co/Lionsgate-AI-Lab/MiMo-V2.6-Flash-MOPD-EXL3-2.52bpw)**

A locally quantized checkpoint with deployment information, evaluation evidence, and an independently validated layer-8 correction published in October 2026, incorporating a community contribution by [emkey1](https://huggingface.co/emkey1).

### Our approach

We document experimental configurations, hardware, serving runtimes, limitations, and independently verified outcomes.

We value reproducible evidence over headline benchmark numbers, and welcome constructive technical feedback and contributions.

**Evidence over hype. Reproducibility over anecdotes.**
