AI & ML interests

At THOX.ai, we build local-first, privacy-first AI that runs where users need it most: on edge devices, workstations, portable hardware, and embedded systems. Our research and engineering focus on making advanced AI practical without requiring cloud infrastructure or sacrificing user ownership of data. Areas of Interest * Edge AI and on-device inference * Local-first LLM deployment * Small Language Models (SLMs) * Efficient transformer architectures * Quantization and model optimization * GGUF, LiteRT, and embedded AI runtimes * AI acceleration on consumer hardware * Mobile and embedded AI systems * Privacy-preserving AI * Offline AI assistants * Agentic AI systems * Multi-agent orchestration * AI operating systems * Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) * Semantic search and knowledge graphs * Memory architectures for AI agents * AI developer tools * AI infrastructure * Open-source AI * Human-AI collaboration * AI for healthcare * AI for education * AI for accessibility * AI for legal and enterprise workflows * Robotics and autonomous systems * Digital humans * Computer vision * Speech and multimodal AI * Federated and distributed AI * Edge-to-edge AI networking * Secure AI deployment * Model benchmarking and evaluation * AI hardware integration * Quantum-inspired optimization * Responsible AI engineering Technologies We Explore * Gemma * LiteRT * llama.cpp * GGUF * ONNX Runtime * TensorFlow Lite * PyTorch * Hugging Face Transformers * Rust * C++ * Python * WebGPU * CUDA * Vulkan * Jetson * Raspberry Pi * Embedded Linux Our Mission THOX.ai develops open, modular AI technologies that help developers, researchers, businesses, and makers deploy powerful AI locally. We believe users should have meaningful control over their models, data, and computing resources while benefiting from modern AI capabilities across desktop, mobile, embedded, and edge environments.

THOX.ai — On-device intelligence

THOX ships small, focused models tuned for the THOX device family (ThoxKey, ThoxClip, ThoxMini, ThoxAir, ThoxNova). Weights, fine-tunes, and quantizations live here on Hugging Face; GGUF and Ollama tags mirror on ollama.com/Thox-ai. The stack is built around thoxllm-factory v0.1.6 and the Phase C Gemma-4 12B line that shipped 2026-07-02. Kickstarter launch 2026-08-12.

Profile: huggingface.co/Thox-ai · Website: thox.ai · GitHub: github.com/ttracx · License defaults to Apache-2.0 for THOX-owned artifacts; derivatives inherit their base license.

What we ship

THOX.ai owns the stack end to end. Three layers:

  1. Foundation models trained from scratch on THOX-defined architectures — not fine-tunes of someone else's base (ThoxLLM-327M line).
  2. Adapters and instruction tunes over community bases (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma) via thoxllm-factory, sized for specific devices.
  3. Edge devices the models run on: ThoxKey, ThoxClip, ThoxMini, ThoxAir, ThoxNova. See github.com/ttracx/thox-portable.

Where to run

  • Ollamaollama pull thox-ai/<name>:<tag> from ollama.com/Thox-ai. Recommended for on-device (Nova, Mini, Air).
  • llama.cpp / LM Studio — pull GGUF directly from a model repo's Files tab once GGUF variants ship.
  • Native transformersAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Thox-ai/<name>") on transformers >= 5.6.0. Private repos require a Hugging Face token with read access.
  • Adapters — PEFT / LoRA adapters need the base model at inference time. See the individual model card for the exact base_model: and merge steps.

Devices

Models are tuned against the THOX device fleet: ThoxKey (USB fob), ThoxClip, ThoxMini, ThoxMini Air, ThoxNova. Device specs and boot images live at github.com/ttracx/thox-portable.

License

Per model. The base-model heritage determines the terms:

  • ThoxLLM-* — Apache-2.0 (THOX-owned end-to-end).
  • Llama-derived (ThoxMini-3B, ThoxWave-8B-Unleashed) — inherits the Meta Llama Community License (3.2 and 3 respectively).
  • Gemma-derived (thox-gem-e4b, thoxgemma4-12b-lora, and the coming ThoxNova-12B-Agent/Core, thox-gemma4-12b-merged/gguf) — inherits the Gemma Terms of Use.
  • Mistral-derived (ThoxForge-7B, ThoxNova-12B-Unleashed) — Apache-2.0.
  • Qwen-derived (ThoxGlobal-7B) — inherits Tongyi Qianwen License.

Always check the individual model card for the authoritative terms.
