# Fox 1.6

Fox 1.6 is a compact, device-friendly fork of `Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B` for general-purpose text generation.

## What this repo is

- A lightweight Hugging Face model repo with real weights and tokenizer files
- Intended to be easier to deploy on consumer hardware than much larger LLMs
- Branded and published under the Fox 1.6 name

## What this repo is not

- It is not trained from scratch here
- It is not a claim that the model beats every large frontier model
- It is a fork of the upstream Qwen 3 1.7B checkpoint

## Intended use

- On-device or low-footprint inference
- Assistant-style chat and completion
- Rapid experimentation with a compact base model

## Notes

If you want Fox 1.6 to become a genuinely new model, the next step is to fine-tune this fork on a curated instruction dataset and evaluate it against your target benchmarks.
