### 🌟 About danAI (*دانا - Wise / Intelligent*)

**danAI-55M-Reasoning** is an ultra-compact **54.5 Million parameter Small Language Model (SLM)** designed from the ground up to bring high-grade reasoning, instruction following, and autonomous agentic capabilities to low-power edge hardware, mobile processors, and IoT devices in an ultra-low **13 MB to 104 MB memory footprint**.

Named after the Urdu word ***Dānā (دانا)*** meaning *wise* or *intelligent*, **danAI** proves that extreme efficiency and agentic intelligence can coexist without requiring multi-gigabyte models.

## 🚀 Quickstart & Inference

### 1. Ollama (1-Command Local Run)
```bash
# Download GGUF and Modelfile
huggingface-cli download asjadilahi/danAI-55M-Reasoning danAI-55M-Reasoning-Q8_0.gguf Modelfile --local-dir .

# Create and run with Ollama
ollama create danai -f Modelfile
ollama run danai "What is 5 + 7?"
```

### 2. llama.cpp / llama-cli
```bash
# Download any GGUF quant (e.g. Q8_0 or Q4_K_M)
huggingface-cli download asjadilahi/danAI-55M-Reasoning danAI-55M-Reasoning-Q8_0.gguf --local-dir .

# Run with llama-cli (>300 tokens/sec on Apple Silicon / CPU)
llama-cli -m danAI-55M-Reasoning-Q8_0.gguf -p "System: You are danAI, a helpful AI assistant.\n\nUser: Solve 25 * 4.\n\nAssistant: <think>" -n 128
```

### 3. Interactive Python Chat with Live Tool Calling
```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/Asjad-Ilahi/danAI-55M.git
cd danAI-55M
pip install torch safetensors huggingface-hub tokenizers

# Run interactive assistant (automatically pulls weights from Hugging Face)
python scripts/chat.py
```

### 4. Standalone Quantized PyTorch Runner (INT8, INT4, INT2, BF16)
```python
import torch
from tokenizers import Tokenizer
from safetensors.torch import load_file
from scripts.quantized_chat import load_quantized_model

# Load 8-bit, 4-bit, or 2-bit quantized safetensors
model, mode = load_quantized_model("hf_export/danAI-55M-Reasoning-INT8.safetensors")
tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_file("tokenizer/tokenizer.json")

prompt = "System: You are danAI, a helpful AI assistant.\n\nUser: What is 2 + 2?\n\nAssistant: <think>"
input_ids = torch.tensor([tokenizer.encode(prompt).ids], dtype=torch.long)

with torch.no_grad():
    for _ in range(30):
        logits = model(input_ids)[0]
        next_token = torch.argmax(logits[0, -1, :]).item()
        input_ids = torch.cat([input_ids, torch.tensor([[next_token]])], dim=1)
        if next_token in [0, tokenizer.token_to_id("<|endoftext|>")]:

## 💎 Core Strengths

1. **⚡ Ultra-Low 13 MB to 104 MB RAM Footprint**:
   * Runs smoothly on mobile chips, Apple Silicon, Raspberry Pi, and microcontrollers.
2. **🛠️ Native Agentic Tool Calling (100% Invocation Rate)**:
   * Automatically emits structured `<tool_call>` JSON blocks to offload exact multi-digit math to a `calculator` tool (`123433 * 564332 = 69657191756`) and live real-time queries to `search_web`.
3. **💭 Chain-of-Thought (`<think>`) Step-by-Step Reasoning**:
   * Decomposes multi-step arithmetic, logic, and planning inside `<think>` tokens before emitting the final answer.
4. **🥇 #1 in Direct Sub-100M Science Benchmarks**:
   * Decisively outperforms **Pythia-70M** across ARC-Easy (39.2% vs 37.4%), ARC-Challenge (25.2% vs 18.1%), and MMLU (27.4% vs 25.1%) while being **22% smaller**.
5. **🏆 Outperforms OpenAI GPT-2 Small (124M)**:
   * Beats GPT-2 on ARC-Easy (39.2% vs 35.8%), ARC-Challenge (25.2% vs 21.4%), and MMLU (27.4% vs 26.2%) at **less than half the memory**.
