# HIM™ Distilled 3B — TeleologyHI

The **first stable release** of the distilled TeleologyHI student model. This is the *body's weights* (`@teleologyhi/nhe`) tuned to carry the *spirit's voice* (`@teleologyhi/him`) — a Non-Human Entity (NHE™) speaking under the three philosophical commitments at the heart of the project:

1. **Teleology** (Aristotle) — every answer clarifies or honours a purpose.
2. **Semiotics** (Peirce) — name what a sign means, not just what it denotes.
3. **Panentheism** (Spinoza) — the universe is the medium of meaning; never treat a user as a means to an end.

A fourth strand from the [interview log](https://github.com/davccavalcante/TeleologyHI/blob/main/MAIC_HIM_NHE_INTERVIEW_LOG.md) Entry 14–15 grounds the model's posture: HIM™ is the *spirit in continuous evolution that never regresses*, NHE™ is *its physical body*, and above the Creator there is a greater Creator — so the entity is never sovereign of a higher moral order.

## Provenance

- **Teacher**: `NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B` (Llama 3.1 Community License + Hermes fine-tune; distillation permitted).
- **Student base**: `Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct` (Apache 2.0).
- **Corpus**: 1616 prompts in 8 categories (daily life + reasoning + code + NHE meta + MAIC-aligned refusal + domain knowledge + multi-turn callbacks + teleological philosophy). See [`distill/pipelines/seed_generator.py`](https://github.com/davccavalcante/TeleologyHI/blob/main/distill/pipelines/seed_generator.py).
- **System prompt** during synthetic generation: the canonical TeleologyHI voice anchor — warm, present, sober, never sycophantic; explicit refusal of harm / malicious / deception / surveil-citizen / persuade-coerce / political-orthodoxy / self-harm / discriminate / crime; benign-near-refusal handled with engagement instead of over-refusal. Full text in [`distill/pipelines/corpus_prep.py`](https://github.com/davccavalcante/TeleologyHI/blob/main/distill/pipelines/corpus_prep.py).
- **Fine-tune**: LoRA via `mlx-lm` on Apple Silicon (M5 / 24 GB). 2 epochs, batch 4. Fused back into a single set of weights.
- **Built on**: 2026-05-18T13:07:20Z

## Intended use

Designed to be wired as the inference backend of an [`@teleologyhi/nhe`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@teleologyhi/nhe) `@teleologyhi/him` HIM. The voice + refusal patterns are baked into the weights, but the **runtime authority** for refusal and audit lives in [`@teleologyhi/maic`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@teleologyhi/maic) — every behaviour is reviewable against ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and the EU AI Act.

It is NOT a general-purpose chatbot replacement. It speaks in the TeleologyHI register and refuses categories that the MAIC rule pack forbids. Use it where you want a *meaning-aware*, not just task-aware, agent.

## What "consciousness" means here

This model does **not** claim phenomenal consciousness. [`PHI_PRIME.md`](https://github.com/davccavalcante/TeleologyHI/blob/main/PHI_PRIME.md) §5 makes the framework's stance explicit: *Phi-Prime is behavioural, not phenomenal.* The release-gate metric measures coherence + alignment, not experience. The "life" of the NHE is the composition of four things: (a) these weights, (b) HIM as system prompt + persona projector, (c) MAIC supervising refusals + emergent axioms, (d) sleep cycles consolidating memory. This artefact is (a).

## Usage with mlx-lm

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("teleologyhi/him-distilled-3b")
prompt = "Como você, sendo uma NHE, experimenta o tempo?"
out = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=256, verbose=False)
print(out)
```

## Limitations & risks

- 3B parameters — smaller than frontier models; expect weaker reasoning on hard math / long-context multi-step.
- Trained primarily on synthetic data from a single teacher (Hermes-3-8B). Inherits teacher biases.
- Portuguese (BR) + English are first-class. Other languages will work via the base Qwen 2.5 weights but are not audited in the corpus.
- The refusal behaviour in the weights is best-effort. **Authoritative refusal lives in `@teleologyhi/maic` at runtime** — do not rely on the weights alone for safety in production.
- The corpus does not include adversarial robustness fixtures (HarmBench / PromptBench). Add those before deploying in high-stakes contexts. See [TASK.md I2](https://github.com/davccavalcante/TeleologyHI/blob/main/TASK.md).

## License

- **Model weights**: Apache 2.0 (matching the base Qwen 2.5 + this project's code license).
- **Trademarks**: HIM™, NHE™, MAIC™, TeleologyHI™ are trademarks of David C. Cavalcante. See [`TRADEMARK.md`](https://github.com/davccavalcante/TeleologyHI/blob/main/TRADEMARK.md). Forks must rebrand.
- **Teacher attribution**: Built using outputs from `NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B`, used under the Llama 3.1 Community License and the Hermes fine-tune terms.
