Cesium2 (MORPH-AI) v6
Modular Orchestrated Reasoning with Pattern-adaptive Hot-swappable skills
A novel local AI architecture engineered for excellent reasoning and code generation while staying small enough to run on a laptop or phone and train on a free Google Colab T4.
Core design: System-1 / System-2 dual-path. A Coordinator decides how much thinking to spend and which subsystems to activate per input. Nine subsystems are wired directly into the logits so they actually train and actually change outputs:
- Coordinator β routes between subsystems, predicts reasoning depth
- MultiStepReasoner β iterative System-2 thinking loop (weight-tied, adaptive depth)
- CodeAwareBias β injects code structure (indent depth, bracket balance) as a learned bias
- ScratchpadMemory β persistent cross-turn working memory for long reasoning
- VerifierHead β self-critique scorer for best-of-n decoding
- Sparse MoE β top-2 of 4 experts per token: 4x capacity for ~half the compute
- Persistent Memory β key-value memory that persists across turns
- Skill Tokens β hot-swappable capability embeddings (no retraining for new skills)
- Depth Embeddings β predicts task complexity and conditions on it

Reasoning & Coding Features
- Adaptive depth: the Coordinator runs 0-4 System-2 refinement iterations per input β easy queries answer instantly, hard ones think longer. On device, low-gate inputs skip MoE+memory entirely.
- Code structure bias: per-token features (indent depth, bracket balance, code-likeness, newlines, keywords, numerics) gate a learned structure projection, so the model attends to indentation and braces.
- Self-critique:
chat_best_of_n(prompt, n=4)generates 4 candidates and keeps the one the verifier scores highest β big accuracy gains on code/math at ~4x inference cost. - Cross-turn scratchpad: reasoning state written in one turn is read back in the next, enabling multi-turn problem solving.
- Mixture of Depths: per-token gating dynamically skips transformer layers, reducing compute by 30-50% with minimal accuracy loss.
- Dynamic MoE: 4 experts with automatic pruning of underused experts during training.
- Quantized KV Cache: INT8/INT4 quantized persistent memory for memory-efficient long-context.
- Tool Use: JSON-structured function calling with built-in tools (calculator, search, code execution, time).
- Document Understanding: PDF, DOCX, and image OCR with layout-aware parsing and table extraction.
- Video Understanding: Temporal frame sampling, motion scoring, and scene change detection.
- Audio/Speech: ASR (Whisper) for transcription, TTS (Coqui/gTTS) for speech synthesis.
- Memory-efficient attention: PyTorch 2.0+ SDPA with flash attention for 30-50% memory reduction.
v6 Guardrail + Multimodal + Live-Knowledge Pipeline
The v6 pipeline wraps the trained model with deterministic, zero-model-cost layers that make execution provable and safe, adds vision/audio/video/document layers for full multimodal input, and grounds answers with live web search parsed into a knowledge graph. New v6 memory-efficient components include SDPA attention, Mixture of Depths (MoD), dynamic MoE pruning, and quantized KV cache.

src/runtime.py composes them: guardrails run before and after the model;
the FSM walks _ingest (VISION β AUDIO β VIDEO β DOCUMENT β SEARCH_GATE β SEARCH β FACT_EXTRACT) to
gather image + audio + video + document + live-web context; routing selects the skill adapter;
best-of-n uses normalized verifier scoring with early exit; the winner is
cross-examined against grounded facts (entity overlap + rule compliance);
tools are executed when detected; every turn is persisted to the KV store and graph.
Live search is built in and keyless β no API key, no quota ceiling. The
search backend tries DuckDuckGo β Bing β Mojeek HTML endpoints in order and
auto-recovers when one is rate-limited (90s cooldown). Optional Google CSE is
only used if you set GOOGLE_CSE_API_KEY + GOOGLE_CSE_ID env vars:
# optional: only needed to add Google as a 4th backend
export GOOGLE_CSE_API_KEY=your_api_key
export GOOGLE_CSE_ID=f49a9160e6e4840d2

How Skills Work
Skills are .skill JSON files containing trigger patterns, a learned embedding index (hot-swapped at runtime), and example prompts. No retraining needed to install a new skill:
from src.runtime import MorphRuntime
rt = MorphRuntime("output/morph-model/")
rt.install_skill("skills/code_expert.skill")
rt.chat("Write a Python function to sort a list", skill="code_expert")
# higher quality on code/math:
rt.chat_best_of_n("Debug this: ...", n=4)
Create new skills with skill_generator.py β uses free HuggingFace datasets, no API key needed.
