# BuildEng V8 3B — GGUF F16

**BuildEng V8 3B GGUF F16** is the highest-precision GGUF release of BuildEng V8 3B, a domain-specialized language model focused on civil engineering, structural reasoning, construction workflows, and conservative engineering-assistant behavior.

This release is converted from:

`Irfanuruchi/qwen2.5-3b-buildeng`

The BuildEng V8 3B source model is fine-tuned from:

`Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct`

**Improved using Qwen.**

## Model Information

| Property | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Model** | BuildEng V8 3B |
| **Format** | GGUF |
| **Precision** | F16 |
| **BuildEng source model** | `Irfanuruchi/qwen2.5-3b-buildeng` |
| **Upstream model** | `Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct` |
| **Domain** | Civil and structural engineering |
| **Primary use** | High-precision local engineering-assistant inference |

The F16 release preserves substantially more numerical precision than the quantized Q8_0 and Q4_K_M variants and is intended for users who prioritize model fidelity over storage size and memory efficiency.

## Focus Areas

BuildEng is designed around civil, structural, and construction-engineering workflows including:

* reinforced concrete
* masonry
* foundations and settlement
* retaining walls
* slabs, beams, and columns
* structural diagnostics
* building defects and pathology
* renovation and existing-structure uncertainty
* temporary works
* construction sequencing
* structural inspection guidance
* inspection-first reasoning
* conservative engineering recommendations

BuildEng is designed to function as an engineering assistant and to avoid presenting uncertain conclusions as established facts when important project information is missing.

## Why This Version?

The GGUF F16 release is intended for users who want the highest-precision GGUF representation of BuildEng V8 3B.

Key characteristics include:

* higher numerical precision than the Q8_0 and Q4_K_M GGUF releases
* minimal loss from weight quantization
* suitable for quality-focused local inference
* useful as a high-precision GGUF reference release
* compatibility with GGUF-capable inference runtimes such as llama.cpp

For users who prioritize lower memory use and smaller model size, the Q8_0 and Q4_K_M releases are available separately.

## Engineering Use Notice

BuildEng is an engineering-assistant model and is **not a substitute for professional engineering judgment**.

Model output should not be treated as:

* final structural approval
* construction authorization
* engineering certification or sign-off
* a substitute for calculations required by applicable codes or standards
* a substitute for inspection of actual site conditions
* a replacement for review by a qualified or licensed engineer where required

Engineering decisions should be independently verified using appropriate calculations, standards, drawings, site information, project-specific constraints, and professional review.

## Modifications and Model Lineage

This repository contains an **F16 GGUF conversion** of the fine-tuned BuildEng V8 3B model.

**Model lineage:**

The first stage represents the upstream Qwen model. The second stage represents the BuildEng V8 3B domain fine-tune. The final stage represents the F16 GGUF conversion distributed in this repository.

BuildEng-specific fine-tuning, engineering specialization, dataset development, evaluation, documentation, and related project contributions were produced by **Irfan Uruchi**.
