ThoxForge-7B-GGUF

Status: no GGUF is published here yet. This repository is intentionally empty.

If you are looking for a runnable ThoxForge-7B artefact today, it is at Thox-ai/ThoxForge-7B, which carries thoxforge-7b-Q4_K_M.gguf alongside the adapter. Access there is manually gated.

Why it is empty rather than filled

An empty repository looks like a mistake, and filling it would have been a one-line copy. It is empty on purpose.

ThoxForge-7B is the strongest model in the THOX factory — its DPO adapter is the only one that passes the product factuality gate cleanly (3.07/5, zero fabrications). It does not currently pass the company-facts gate. Asked where a named founder worked before THOX, it produces a confident, checkable-looking, entirely invented career history before declining correctly.

THOX's promotion path (compute/launcher.py::promote) fails closed: it refuses to publish an adapter that has not passed its gate, and --force exists so that a human has to own an override. Copying a gate-failing artefact into a second public URL to make a repository look less broken would route around that control for cosmetic reasons. The gate is the whole point.

What is being done about it

The fabrication was traced to the training corpus rather than the weights: a set of "correction" examples quoted false claims verbatim so the model could deny them, and under the pinned dependency profile those user turns were supervised generation targets. The model was being trained to emit the fabrication the corpus existed to prevent.

The corpus is fixed. The retrain and re-gate are queued and cost roughly $2 of GPU time. When ThoxForge-7B passes the gate on a held-out suite, quantised weights land here and this notice is replaced.

Do not mirror this repository

Automated mirrors that treat an empty repo as a failed download will retry forever. There is nothing to fetch yet.
