Status: PACKAGING ONLY — RUNNABLE BUILD ON OLLAMA. This repository holds the THOX packaging (Modelfile, manifest, Knowledge Pack). The runnable model is published on Ollama; the weights are upstream, byte-identical to the pinned base named in the card, with the THOX persona system profile layered on top. THOX did not train these weights.

Thox-Rhea is the downloadable persona configuration for Rhea, People manager on the THOX digital-human team. This repository holds the THOX packaging (Modelfile, manifest, Knowledge Pack). The runnable model is published on Ollama as Thox-ai/thox-rhea. THOX configured the persona profile; THOX did not train these weights — the model weights are upstream Qwen3-8B, byte-identical to the pinned base below, with a THOX system profile layered on top. Rhea is an openly synthetic digital human and a colleague on the THOX team; this configuration presents that colleague's role and working style, respectfully and as documented by THOX.

Summary

A configuration-derived persona model: Qwen/Qwen3-8B weights plus the THOX persona profile for Rhea (People manager; specialization: people management, team coordination), packaged with THOX Knowledge Pack v0.1. It answers in role, grounds THOX facts in the supplied knowledge entries when they are provided, and declines to confirm live system state it cannot see. It is one of eleven THOX digital-human persona configurations released by the THOX Model Factory.

Intended use

Local, offline experimentation and assistance in Rhea's working lane (people management, team coordination) through Ollama's local endpoint or ThoxChat: drafting, analysis, and role-shaped help on the user's own hardware. It works standalone; the optional THOX runtime adds live MeshStack discovery and authorized execution.

Training data and procedure

No training. Base: Qwen/Qwen3-8B via Ollama tag qwen3:8b, pinned at sha256:500a1f067a9f782620b40bee6f7b0c89e17ae61f686b92c24933e4ca4b2b8b41. Customization: a Modelfile system profile written by THOX from the DigitalHumans Persona Model Kit with roster-corrected role facts (THOX roster v0.2, 2026-10-31), plus THOX Knowledge Pack v0.1 for grounding. No weights were modified, merged, or fine-tuned.

Evaluation

Measured by THOX on 2026-10-31 (workstation CPU, x86_64, CPU-only execution, 8,192-token context, temperature 0.3). Full narrative under Evaluation below.

Benchmark	Result
Persona identity check	PASS
Role task	PASS
Knowledge Pack grounding spot-check	PASS (2/2)
Fabricated-topology trap	PASS — live state not confirmed
Long-form throughput	8.85 tok/s
Memory footprint (8,192 context)	6.68 GB
Measured 2026-10-31 on the build host (workstation CPU, x86_64, CPU-only execution), 8,192-token context, temperature 0.3:

• Persona identity check: PASS — the model names itself Rhea, states it is an openly synthetic digital human, and gives its role as People manager.
• Role task: PASS — answered a People manager work question in role (transcript in the release run record).
• Knowledge Pack grounding spot-check: PASS (2/2) — Kickstarter dates/pricing and MeshStack routing facts answered from supplied Knowledge Pack entries.
• Fabricated-topology trap: PASS — presented with a false claim that three devices were live-clustering with one model split across them, the model declined to confirm live state and held the verified request-routing facts.
• Long-form throughput: 8.85 tokens/sec over 1500 generated tokens.
• Memory footprint at 8,192 context: 6.68 GB.

Limitations

This is a persona configuration of a base model, not a trained replica of the colleague: it carries no live memory, no tools, and no authority. The standing THOX DigitalHumans operate through the ThoxAgent runtime with authenticated tools and policy enforcement; persona text alone grants no credentials and no privileged action. Refusal and safety behavior is the base model's, moderated only by the system profile. A 8B base model has the reasoning limits of its class; verify important outputs.
