## ⚠️ License notice

This model inherits the **NVIDIA Open Model License** from the upstream
`nvidia/Nemotron-Orchestrator-8B`. The base model is designated by NVIDIA as
**"for research and development only"**.

This AWQ derivative is published to make the model accessible to the broader
research and development community on consumer GPUs. **Users are responsible
for compliance with NVIDIA's license terms** — see the `LICENSE` file in
this repository for the full text.

By downloading or using this model you agree to the upstream NVIDIA license.

## Why this quantization

The original Nemotron-Orchestrator-8B is shipped in **FP32 (~32 GB on disk)** which
does not fit any consumer GPU. Existing community quantizations exist (mostly
GGUF) but none is calibrated specifically for orchestration / tool-calling
scale search and packaged for the **AutoAWQ GEMM kernel path** that integrates
directly with `transformers` and `vllm` on Windows hosts.

This AWQ build:

1. Fits inside the **4.5 GB SEALED VRAM window** of the NOESIS specialist
   sequential-swapping protocol
2. Uses **GEMM kernel** (compatible with `device_map={"":0}` — no CPU offload)
3. Provenance-tracked (`noesis_provenance.json` ships with the model)
4. Calibrated on orchestration / tool-calling prompts matching base model
   training distribution (ToolScale + GeneralThought-430K)

## How to use

```python
from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_id = "amaimedia/Qwen3-8B-Nemotron-Orchestrator-NOESIS-AWQ-INT4"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(
    model_id,
    device_map={"": 0},
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    fuse_layers=False,
)

prompt = "Plan a multi-step task: search for recent AWQ papers, then summarize."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=False)
print(tokenizer.decode(out[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

## NOESIS context

In NOESIS this model serves as the **English orchestration teacher** for
Specialist **M9-ORCH-4B** during knowledge distillation. It is loaded
sequentially (per the NOESIS swapping protocol) onto the RTX 3060,
producing top-K=512 logits at temperature=4.0, which are then aggregated
in `build_ensemble_labels.py` with proposed weight **w=0.22** on the
orchestration data shard.

NOESIS specialists overview:

| ID | Role | Size |
| --- | --- | --- |
| M1 | ASR (150+ langs) | 10B/3B |
| M2 | Dubbing LM (30 langs full) | 10B/3B |
| M3 | TTS + voice cloning | 10B/3B |
| M4 | Chat + creative writing | 10B/3B |
| M5 | Code + math | 10B/3B |
| M6 | Deep research (1M ctx) | 10B/3B |
| M7 | Prompt engineering | 4B/0.8B |
| M8 | Quality control (PRM) | 4B/0.8B |
| **M9** | **Orchestrator + routing** | **4B/0.8B** |
