DiabeticDaily-4B 🐝🛏️

The edge tier of the OpenDiabetic ladder — runs on a $249 Jetson Orin Nano, on-box, zero internet. A proven, domain-tuned diabetic assistant small enough to sit on a nightstand. Cooked by Swarm and Bee LLC.

Beat-base — proven

Held-out perplexity vs base Qwen3.5-4B (text never trained on):

held-out loss perplexity
Base Qwen3.5-4B 1.5062 4.510
DiabeticDaily-4B 0.8982 2.455
Δ −0.608 (+40.4% better)

Verdict: BEAT BASE ✅. A 4B that models diabetic/medical language ~40% better than base — and at Q4 it's ~2.6GB, running at usable speed on a Jetson with PHI never leaving the box.

How it was cooked

  • Base: Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B (Apache-2.0). Data: the same deeded OpenDiabetic corpus as the 27B/9B.
  • Recipe: LoRA r32/α16 on attn+mlp, LR 2e-5 (small-model tier), 0.7ep, early-stop. Merged bf16.

Run it on a Jetson (Q4 GGUF, ollama) — see the -GGUF companion repo

ollama create diabetic-daily -f Modelfile   # FROM diabeticedge-4b-q4_k_m.gguf
ollama run diabetic-daily "What's a good diabetic breakfast?"

This is the brain behind the LocalDiabetic edge node — sovereign, private, free.

The ladder: 🐝 27B anchor (+57%) → 🏠 9B home (+40.7%) → 🛏️ 4B edge (+40.4%)

⚠️ Not medical advice — diabetic lifestyle/education/organization only. Not a diagnosis. Emergencies → 911.
