SZL-Nemo - Ollama prompt recipe for NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano 4B

Repository type: prompt/serving recipe only. This repository has no model weights or Transformers configuration, so it intentionally declares no Hub inference pipeline. Run it through Ollama only after obtaining the separately licensed upstream model.

Recipe tier — honest labels first:

Claim	Status
What this repo contains	An Ollama Modelfile recipe + doctrine system prompt. No weights are republished here.
Whose weights	NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano 4B via Ollama tag nemotron-3-nano:4b; upstream weights are not stored here.
Did SZL fine-tune them	No. SZL-Nemo is a SYSTEM-prompt wrapper, not an SZL fine-tune. It says so if you ask it.
Benchmarks	None measured on SZL hardware yet — quality is UNKNOWN until measured.
Serving status	Prepared · wired · not yet serving — Alloy's sovereign fleet has a live third slot (tower·nemo, model szl-nemo); it serves once the tower pulls and creates the model (tower was offline at authoring time, MEASURED 530).

Base artifact lock

BASE_MODEL_MANIFEST.json records the Ollama 4b registry-manifest SHA-256 6cc467f054393a55e98a74098abde0c762ffb6d1d8cd64becf30458f38886197, the config digest, all layer digests/sizes, the observation time, the official Hugging Face upstream IDs, and the NVIDIA license link. The tag is mutable; a deployment is reproducible only when it verifies or deliberately updates that manifest.

Why it exists

The LangChain × NVIDIA NemoClaw Deep Agents blueprint (July 2026) pairs an open model + a tuned agent harness + a governed runtime, tuned together. SZL's estate maps onto all three layers:

• Open model layer → open Nemotron weights on SZL's own GPU (this recipe)
• Agent harness → the Alloy orchestration backbone (bounded Ouroboros loop, honest failover)
• Governed runtime → SZL's receipt stack: szl-guardrail-receipt + governed-receipt-spec

Use it

On a machine running Ollama:

ollama pull nemotron-3-nano:4b
curl -L -o Modelfile https://huggingface.co/SZLHOLDINGS/szl-nemo/raw/main/Modelfile
ollama create szl-nemo -f Modelfile
ollama run szl-nemo "Who are you, and did SZL train your weights?"

Doctrine

SZL-Nemo answers under SZL's honesty doctrine: claims are labeled MEASURED, REPORTED, or UNKNOWN, and an honest UNKNOWN stands rather than an invented answer. This repository's Modelfile and prompt text are Apache-2.0. The upstream weights are not redistributed here and remain under the NVIDIA Nemotron Open Model License.
