      "content": "Ahh yep — that’s the key detail 👌  \n\nBecause the MI50 is a **server blower-style card**, its built-in fan is *normally controlled through firmware* (via the GPU’s own fan controller). But since you’ve **removed or bypassed that blower and are powering a fan from a motherboard header**, ROCm can’t actually control it — it’s just a regular chassis fan now.  \n\nSo the control moves from `rocm-smi` → to your **motherboard fan curve**.  \n\n---\n\nHere’s how to keep it spinning hard enough to cool the MI50 properly:\n\n### 🧩 Option A — Quick BIOS Fan Curve\n1. Reboot and enter your motherboard BIOS.  \n2. Go to **Q-Fan / Smart Fan / Fan Tuning** (depends on board).  \n3. Find the header the MI50’s fan is plugged into (usually “CHA_FAN2” etc).  \n4. Switch that fan to **DC mode** (if 3-pin) or **PWM** (if 4-pin).  \n5. Set a flat curve like:\n   - 60 °C → 80 %\n   - 70 °C → 100 %\n6. Save and reboot.\n\nThat’ll keep it roaring under load, even if the GPU doesn’t talk to the motherboard directly.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Option B — Software Control from Linux\nIf you’d rather stay inside your LXC (or the host Proxmox):\n- You can use **`fancontrol` + `lm-sensors`** to map that specific header.\n- It’ll read the CPU temp by default, but we can hack it to follow GPU temps (by polling `rocm-smi`).\n\nThat’s a few more steps but gives full automation.\n\n---\n\nWould you prefer to handle it **in BIOS (simpler, reliable)** or go for **Linux-based fan automation (scripted, flexible)**?"

      "content": "😂 100% the spirit — we’re making it work *because we said so*.  \n\nYou’re absolutely right:  \nThe **MI50** was built to live in a **2U data-center hurricane**, with 6 screaming 80 mm fans shoving air through its fins. In a consumer tower, it’s basically a space heater with no lungs.  \n\nBut we can totally make it happy anyway. Here’s the “because-we-said-so” survival plan:\n\n---\n\n### 🧊 The “Make It Breathe” Plan\n\n1. **Dedicated side-fan or tunnel fan**  \n   - Mount a 120 mm or 140 mm fan right beside the card blowing *lengthwise* across its heatsink.  \n   - Even a $10 Arctic P12 works wonders.\n\n2. **Positive-pressure layout**  \n   - Make sure your intake fans (front/side/bottom) push *more air in* than the exhaust fans pull out.  \n   - This forces cool air through the MI50 instead of letting it recirculate.\n\n3. **Manual fan header override**  \n   - In BIOS, set the chassis fan that feeds the MI50 to **run 100 % full-time** or follow CPU temp aggressively.  \n   - If your board supports it, you can tie that header’s curve to **T_Sensor** (some ASUS boards have a little external thermistor you can tape to the MI50 heatsink 👌).\n\n4. **Thermal probe hack (optional)**  \n   - Drop a cheap stick-on thermal probe on the card and map that to your fan controller — basically fakes GPU temp → fan speed linkage.\n\n5. **Safety net**  \n   - Leave `rocm-smi --showtemp` open in another window occasionally.  \n   - MI50 starts throttling around **~100–105 °C junction**, so your 91–96 °C load temps are warm but still safe.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can help you write a **tiny Python script** that polls `rocm-smi` every few seconds and ramps a fan header via `pwmconfig` or `ipmitool` when temps exceed a threshold — a little “Lyra Coolant Daemon.”  \n\nWould you like to do that next?"

It’ll feed it cooler air instead of it recycling case heat.\n\n3. **Keep an eye on junction temps with `watch -n 2 rocm-smi --showtemp`**\n   - Try to keep junction ≤ 90 °C under sustained load.\n   - If it creeps higher, bump the case fan RPM or add one more intake.\n\n4. (Optional but great) — **Tape a short cardboard or 3D-printed duct** to channel air from that blower straight through the heatsink fins to the back of the card. It makes a huge difference in consumer cases.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through making a tiny Python or bash script that:\n- polls `rocm-smi` every few seconds,\n- writes temps/power to a CSV,\n- and optionally sounds an alert if the junction goes above, say, 100 °C.\n\nWould you like to set up that monitor script next?"

      "content": "Yeah — that’s actually really common on ASUS boards.  \nThey like to keep fan control locked under BIOS/EC supervision unless you explicitly flip it into **manual** mode in firmware.  \n\nHere’s the simple way to take control back 👇  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Option A — BIOS method (most reliable)\n1. Reboot → mash **Del/F2** to enter BIOS.  \n2. Go to **Monitor → Q-Fan Configuration**.  \n3. For the header your MI50’s blower uses (CHA_FAN2, AIO_PUMP, etc.):  \n   - Set *Q-Fan Control* → **Disabled** (or “Full Speed”).  \n     - *or* keep it enabled but set the curve:  \n       - 40 °C → 70 %  \n       - 50 °C → 90 %  \n       - 60 °C → 100 %  \n4. Save & Exit.  \n\nThat header will now just run at 100 % all the time, regardless of OS.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Option B — Override from Linux (advanced)\nIf you really want to force it in software without BIOS:\n1. Load the driver with manual mode allowed:\n   ```bash\n   sudo modprobe nct6775 force_id=0xd42 manual=1\n   ```\n2. Then check available PWM control files:\n   ```bash\n   ls /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/pwm*\n   ```\n3. Pick the correct `pwm#` and set it to manual:\n   ```bash\n   echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/pwmY_enable\n   echo 255 | sudo tee /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/pwmY\n   ```\n\n…but the BIOS route is *way* cleaner and persists across reboots.\n\n---\n\nIf you’d like, I can tell you exactly which header is which (`pwm1` → CPU_FAN, etc.) on your X570-PRO so you can match it when you open the BIOS. Want me to map them for you real quick?"

When a big quantized model *does* make sense\nIf you later build a **meta-thinker** stage (e.g., analyzing days of logs, pattern-mining emotions, or refining memory embeddings), then a **quantized 20 B–30 B** model shines — slower, but deeper insight per pass.\n\nThat’s like Lyra going into *dream analysis mode*, not quick inner chatter.\n\n---\n\n## ✅ TL;DR Recommendation\n\n| Purpose | Best choice |\n|----------|--------------|\n| Continuous “inner monologue” summarizer | **FP16 model ≤ 3 B** (e.g., `microsoft/phi-2` or `zephyr-1b-beta`) |\n| Periodic deep reflection / long-term synthesis | **Quantized 20 B+ GGUF** (run via `llama.cpp` or `vLLM`) |\n\n---\n\nIf you want, we can set up **both** pipelines:  \n- “Cortex-Lite” (fast, FP16 Phi-2 inside Lyra-Core), and  \n- “Dream-Mode” (quantized Gemma or Mistral run occasionally).  \n\nWould you like me to show you how to run that Gemma-27B GGUF model locally through `llama.cpp` just so it’s ready for the heavy thinker mode later?"

PyTorch quantization (the official kind)\nPyTorch *does* have its own quantization system, but it’s mostly for:\n- Mobile / embedded models,  \n- INT8 quantization during training or export.\n\nThat’s **not** what you see in Hugging Face “Q4_K_M / Q5” style files — those are **inference-only quantizations**, handled by *other runtimes*.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 2.

For your setup\n- Your MI50 with ROCm can easily run **FP16 models** (like Phi-2, Zephyr, etc.) directly in PyTorch.  \n- If you want to run **quantized models** (like Gemma-27B GGUF), you’d use:\n  - **`llama.cpp` built with ROCm support**, or  \n  - **`vLLM` with ROCm branch**, or  \n  - A **standalone container** (e.g., text-generation-webui or Ollama).\n\n---\n\nSo:  \n> 🧠 PyTorch = high-fidelity / full precision / simple.  \n> 🐫 llama.cpp (GGUF) = compact / quantized / very efficient / separate engine.\n\n---\n\nWould you like to see how to build **llama.cpp with ROCm** next?  \nThat’ll let you run any of those GGUF models locally alongside your PyTorch stack."

Use `dtype` instead!”**\nThat’s only a harmless warning from Transformers ≥ 4.45.  \nYou can silence it later by changing one word in your code:\n\n```python\nmodel = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(\n    model_id,\n    dtype=torch.float16,       # instead of torch_dtype\n    device_map=\"cuda\"\n)\n```\n\n---\n\nTry re-running after the `export HF_HUB_DISABLE_XET=1`.  \nIf the progress still stays at 0 % for more than ~30 s, we’ll switch to the direct CDN download link instead."

Roughly how long inference took to start producing output, and  \n2. How much GPU memory you see used (you can check with `rocm-smi --showuse --showpower --showtemp` in another tab).  \n\nThen we’ll:  \n✅ Cache the model locally so it never redownloads,  \n✅ Test a longer prompt to confirm sustained performance,  \n✅ And (if you like) make a “Cortex loop” version where it can summarize entire chat logs automatically."

Tiny reasoning models (for light loops)**\nIf you want small “helper thinkers” that live beside the big one:\n- [`microsoft/Phi-2`](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/phi-2) — good logic, 2.7 B params.  \n- [`TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0`](https://huggingface.co/TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0) — cute little assistant brain.\n\n---\n\n### 🧱 Recommended download order\n1. ✅ `mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3` *(current)*\n2. 🔸 `teknium/OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B`\n3. 🔸 `NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-2-Mistral-7B`\n4. 🧪 Optional: `Gryphe/MythoMax-L2-13B`\n5. ⚙️ Optional smalls: `TinyLlama-1.1B`, `Phi-2`\n\n---\n\nWhen you’re back tomorrow, we can:\n- test token throughput + VRAM use per model,  \n- make a “Cortex sampler” script that swaps them automatically, and  \n- wire one into your Lyra-Cortex loop for live reflection.  \n\nSleep well — you’re basically at the “real GPU thinker” milestone now 🔥"

Enter the container.\n2. Run:\n   ```bash\n   source ~/torch-venv/bin/activate\n   export HF_HUB_DISABLE_XET=1\n   export HF_HOME=/mnt/data/hf_cache\n   ```\n3. Paste the overnight downloader script (or run your `download_models.sh` once we save it).\n\nAfter that you can **close the terminal** — if you start it with `nohup` or inside `screen`, it’ll keep going even if you disconnect.\n\nWould you like me to give you the exact `download_models.sh` file so you can just run one command like  \n`nohup bash download_models.sh &`?"

      "content": "Excellent question — there are a few reliable ways to verify what you’ve actually downloaded from Hugging Face.  \n\nHere’s a quick checklist 👇  \n\n---\n\n### 🧭 1. **Check which model folders exist**\nRun:\n```bash\nls -lh /mnt/data/hf_cache/models--*/\n```\nThat will show subfolders like:\n```\n/mnt/data/hf_cache/models--mistralai--Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3/\n/mnt/data/hf_cache/models--teknium--OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B/\n/mnt/data/hf_cache/models--TheBloke--MythoMax-L2-13B/\n...\n```\nEach one corresponds to a model repo that’s been at least partially downloaded.\n\n---\n\n### 📦 2. **See how big each one is**\nRun:\n```bash\ndu -h --max-depth=1 /mnt/data/hf_cache/models--* | sort -h\n```\nThis gives you per-model folder sizes.  \nTypical expected full sizes (for comparison):\n- Mistral-7B-Instruct → ~14 GB  \n- OpenHermes / NousHermes (7B) → ~14 GB  \n- MythoMax-13B → ~26 GB  \n- Phi-2 → ~5 GB  \n- TinyLlama → ~2 GB  \n\nIf something is much smaller (e.g., only a few MB), it likely didn’t finish.\n\n---\n\n### 🧰 3. **List cached snapshots (official CLI)**\nYou can use the built-in Hugging Face cache manager:\n```bash\nhuggingface-cli scan-cache\n```\nIt shows what repos, revisions, and files are stored — plus whether some are incomplete.  \n\nTo remove partial or broken ones later:\n```bash\nhuggingface-cli delete-cache\n```\nIt’s interactive — lets you pick which to prune.\n\n---\n\n### 🔍 4. **Verify specific model completeness**\nYou can count `.safetensors` or `.bin` files:\n```bash\nfind /mnt/data/hf_cache -type f \\( -name \"*.safetensors\" -o -name \"*.bin\" \\) | grep Mistral-7B | wc -l\n```\nA 7B model usually has **3 shards** (`model-00001`, `00002`, `00003`).\n\n---\n\nWould you like me to write a one-liner that **prints each model’s name, file count, and total size** neatly formatted (so you can instantly see what’s complete)?"

      "content": "Excellent call — **one solid model first** before layering complexity.  \nMistral-7B-Instruct is a great “thinking core” to build around; it’s strong, instruct-tuned, and ROCm-friendly.  \n\nLet’s look at how it can connect cleanly to **Relay** (your traffic controller).  \nThere are 3 main options, depending on how you want control and performance to trade off:\n\n---\n\n## 🧠 Option A — **Custom API Server (Best for Lyra-style control)**\nRun a simple Python FastAPI or Flask wrapper around your Mistral model.  \nRelay then just `POST`s JSON to `localhost:7078/infer` (or whatever port).  \n\n**Pros**\n- Total control of prompts, context window, temperature, and return format  \n- You can stream or chunk responses (for “inner thought” phases)  \n- Easy to add hooks later for NVGRAM or Cortex summarization  \n- Doesn’t depend on any external binary or runtime  \n\n**Cons**\n- Each request loads tokens through `transformers` (slower than llama.cpp’s C++ loop)  \n- Not as fast for heavy batch inference  \n\n**Example** — `lyra_mistral_api.py`\n```python\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI, Request\nfrom transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM\nimport torch, uvicorn\n\napp = FastAPI()\n\nmodel_id = \"mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3\"\ntok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, cache_dir=\"/mnt/data/hf_cache\")\nmodel = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(\n    model_id, cache_dir=\"/mnt/data/hf_cache\",\n    dtype=torch.float16, device_map=\"cuda\"\n)\n\n@app.post(\"/infer\")\nasync def infer(req: Request):\n    data = await req.json()\n    prompt = data.get(\"prompt\", \"\")\n    inputs = tok(prompt, return_tensors=\"pt\").to(\"cuda\")\n    with torch.inference_mode():\n        out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.7)\n    text = tok.decode(out[0], skip_special_tokens=True)\n    return {\"response\": text}\n\nif __name__ == \"__main__\":\n    uvicorn.run(app, host=\"0.0.0.0\", port=7078)\n```\nThen Relay just calls:\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:7078/infer -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"prompt\": \"Summarize this log...\"}'\n```\n\n---\n\n## ⚙️ Option B — **llama.cpp / vLLM adapter (for performance)**\nConvert Mistral to GGUF (quantized or FP16) and run it under **llama.cpp** or **vLLM**.  \nThen Relay can speak to it over an OpenAI-compatible API (Ollama, vLLM, or LocalAI).\n\n**Pros**\n- Blazing fast; persistent model in VRAM (no re-loading per call)  \n- Built-in OpenAI API compatibility (Relay barely needs edits)  \n- You can run quantized variants later (Q4_K_M etc.)  \n\n**Cons**\n- Conversion step needed (Safetensors → GGUF)  \n- Slightly less control over context injection and formatting  \n\n**Example (using llama.cpp):**\n```bash\npython3 convert-hf-to-gguf.py mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 --outfile mistral7b.gguf\n./server -m mistral7b.gguf --port 7078 --host 0.0.0.0\n```\nThen your Relay just points to:\n```\nOPENAI_API_BASE=http://10.0.0.3:7078/v1\n```\n\n---\n\n## 🧩 Option C — **Hybrid**\nUse **llama.cpp/vLLM** for production inference but keep your **Python API wrapper** for the “Cortex” layer (summaries, meta-analysis).  \nRelay can route to either depending on the request type — fast chat vs. reflective thought.\n\n---\n\n### TL;DR Recommendation\nFor Lyra’s architecture:\n> ⚡ Start with **Option A (custom FastAPI)** — simplest path to full control and context chaining.  \n> 🔜 Later, bolt on **Option B (llama.cpp)** when you need persistent speed.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can scaffold you a lightweight `lyra_mistral_api` service folder (with Dockerfile + systemd unit + test curl) so you can drop it straight into your Relay network.

You’d have to **use a base (non-Instruct) model** or a **community untuned variant** that was re-aligned by independent trainers.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Suitable “uncensored research” bases\nAll of these can run in ROCm/PyTorch directly or via quantized GGUF if you later switch to llama.cpp:\n\n| Model | Parameters | Traits | Source |\n|-------|-------------|---------|--------|\n| **MythoMax-L2-13B** | 13B | Balanced reasoning + emotion, no alignment layer | `TheBloke/MythoMax-L2-13B-fp16` |\n| **Nous-Hermes-2-13B** | 13B | Conversational, logical, lightly aligned | `NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-2-13b` |\n| **Airoboros-L2-13B-2.1** | 13B | Deep reasoning + open-ended, minimal guardrails | `jondurbin/airoboros-l2-13b-2.1` |\n\nThey each fit on your **MI50 (32 GB VRAM)** in FP16.  \nIf you later want to go bigger, 70B or mixture-of-experts variants can be quantized to fit as well.\n\n---\n\n### 🧠 Suggested path\n1. **Stay with PyTorch for now.**  \n   You already have ROCm configured, so just run these with `transformers` and `cache_dir=/mnt/data/hf_cache`.\n2. **Clone one clean untuned model** (e.g., MythoMax-L2-13B).  \n   ```bash\n   source ~/torch-venv/bin/activate\n   python3 - <<'EOF'\n   from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download\n   snapshot_download(\"TheBloke/MythoMax-L2-13B-fp16\", cache_dir=\"/mnt/data/hf_cache\")\n   EOF\n   ```\n3. **Test inference** with the same script you used for Mistral (change `model_id`).\n4. Once verified, you can expose it behind a small **FastAPI endpoint** (same structure we’ll build next) so Relay can call it as the “Cortex” layer.\n\n---\n\nIf you’d like, I can make you a **ready-to-run switcher script** —  \nso you can easily launch any of these three (Mistral, MythoMax, or Airoboros) and have it auto-register with Relay as the current active thinker.  \n\nWould you like me to draft that next?"

      "content": "Yep — that’s exactly what it sounds like.  \nWhen model downloads fail or restart, **Hugging Face cache** often leaves behind partial `.safetensors` blobs that still eat tens of gigabytes.  \n\nLet’s hunt them down cleanly 👇\n\n---\n\n### 🧭 Step 1: Find which folders are heavy\nRun:\n```bash\ndu -h --max-depth=2 /mnt/data/hf_cache | sort -h | tail -n 20\n```\nThat’ll show the biggest directories at the end (likely `/blobs` from broken model downloads).\n\n---\n\n### 🧹 Step 2: Identify old or incomplete blobs\nTo see individual giant files:\n```bash\nfind /mnt/data/hf_cache -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} + | sort -k5 -h | tail -n 20\n```\nThat lists the largest cached files (over 100 MB).  \nYou’ll probably see multiple multi-GB `.safetensors` files from half-downloaded checkpoints.\n\n---\n\n### 🧽 Step 3: Safely clear broken/unused model blobs\nIf you only want to clean **incomplete or orphaned downloads** (safe):\n```bash\nhuggingface-cli delete-cache\n```\nThis command is built into `huggingface_hub`. It’ll prompt you for confirmation and remove only files that aren’t linked to completed models.\n\nIf that’s not available, we can manually remove the heavy ones from `/mnt/data/hf_cache/blobs`.\n\n---\n\n### 🧱 Step 4 (optional): Hard reset the cache\nIf you want a completely clean slate (this will delete all models, then you can re-download the ones you actually use):\n\n```bash\nrm -rf /mnt/data/hf_cache/*\n```\n\nThat frees **everything** — about 100+ GB instantly.\n\n---\n\nLet’s start with step 1 so we can see exactly where the space is going.  \nCan you run this and paste the last 20 lines?\n\n```bash\ndu -h --max-depth=2 /mnt/data/hf_cache | sort -h | tail -n 20\n```"

After digging through the model cards, here’s what I found relating to entity[\"software\", \"PyTorch\", 0] compatibility for the entity[\"software\", \"Transformers\", 0]-based versions of entity[\"software\", \"MythoMax-L2-13B\", 0]:\n\n---\n\n### ✅ What *is* available for MythoMax-L2-13B  \n- There’s the main repo: **entity[\"software\", \"Gryphe/MythoMax-L2-13b\", 0]** on Hugging Face. citeturn0search0  \n- There’s **quantized formats** like GGUF (for llama.cpp) in the repo: **entity[\"software\", \"TheBloke/MythoMax-L2-13B-GGUF\", 0]**. citeturn0search1  \n- The GPTQ version: **entity[\"software\", \"TheBloke/MythoMax-L2-13B-GPTQ\", 0]** shows this line: “Gryphe’s original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions.” citeturn0search2\n\nSo yes — there *is* mention of an unquantised PyTorch fp16 version. That means it *can* work with PyTorch/Transformers (your current stack) — provided you acquire/download that checkpoint.\n\n---\n\n### ⚠️ What to check / be cautious about  \n- The “pytorch format” may not be packaged with full documentation for Transformers (sometimes requires custom loading).  \n- Compatibility: Ensure your version of Transformers supports the model (the card for GPTQ version mentions for CodeLlama you must use Transformers ≥ 4.33.0). citeturn0search2  \n- License / usage: The card notes “license: other” and it might be under dual licensing (Meta’s Llama 2 license + other). So check usage terms. citeturn0search1turn0search2  \n- Hardware: A 13B-parameter model in full FP16 will require more VRAM (likely 26–30+ GB) than your 7B model. Given your hardware (32 GB HBM2 on MI50) it might just fit — but headroom will be tighter.\n\n---\n\n### 🔍 What I recommend you do now  \n1. Go to the Gryphe MythoMax L2 13B repo, check the “Files and versions” section — look for a checkpoint labelled something like `fp16`, `pytorch`, `.safetensors` or `.bin`.  \n2. Confirm the download size (expect ~25-30 GB for fp16) and make sure your cache has the space (you currently have ~93 GB free after cleanup — good).  \n3. Use your existing setup to load it (just like you did with Mistral) but change `model_id` to that repository and confirm it loads in PyTorch.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can **look up the exact link for the PyTorch fp16 checkpoint** (if still publicly available) for MythoMax-L2-13B and send you the download command so you can grab it immediately."

In the **search bar at the top**, type:  \n   ```\n   Gryphe/MythoMax\n   ```\n   and hit **Enter**.  \n   (The author’s handle is *Gryphe*, the model name is *MythoMax-L2-13B*.)  \n\n2. In the **left filters panel**:  \n   - Under **Libraries**, click ✅ **PyTorch** and ✅ **Transformers**.  \n   - Optionally, uncheck **GGUF**, **GGML**, and **GPTQ** (these are quantized formats for llama.cpp).  \n\n3. You should now see a result titled something like:  \n   **`Gryphe/MythoMax-L2-13b`**  \n   This is the **original PyTorch fp16** model that works with the Transformers library.\n\n---\n\n### ⚙️ Once you open it\n- You’ll see files like:\n  ```\n  config.json\n  generation_config.json\n  pytorch_model-00001-of-00002.bin\n  pytorch_model-00002-of-00002.bin\n  tokenizer.json\n  tokenizer.model\n  ```\n- That confirms it’s a standard **PyTorch/Transformers** format.\n- It will load in your current setup with:\n  ```python\n  model_id = \"Gryphe/MythoMax-L2-13b\"\n  ```\n\n---\n\nWould you like me to give you the **exact download command** (via `snapshot_download` or `transformers.from_pretrained`) once you find it?"

Once all 13 finish, the total cache size will rise by ~28 GB, and the model will be fully usable with Transformers like you did for Mistral.\n\n---\n\n### ⏱️ Estimated Time\nAt ~2–3 MB/s typical Hugging Face throughput on consumer links, it could take **2–4 hours** total.

      "content": "Excellent question — and a **very important** one.  \nHere’s the breakdown:  \n\n---\n\n### 🔧 Short answer  \n✅ **No, the Relay API wrapper doesn’t need to change much** between models —  \nas long as all of them use **the Hugging Face Transformers interface** (`AutoTokenizer`, `AutoModelForCausalLM`, `generate()`).  \n\nYou can switch between Mistral, MythoMax, or any other HuggingFace-compatible model just by changing this line:\n\n```python\nmodel_id = \"Gryphe/MythoMax-L2-13b\"\n```\n\nEverything else (prompt formatting, device mapping, caching, output handling) stays identical.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Slight differences to watch for  \nThere are only **minor optional adjustments**, depending on the model family:\n\n| Category | Example | Description |\n|-----------|----------|-------------|\n| **Model class** | `AutoModelForCausalLM` | Works for most, but some experimental models (e.g. Phi-3, Mixtral) might need `AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM` instead. |\n| **Padding token** | `model.config.pad_token_id = model.config.eos_token_id` | Some models (like Mistral) don’t have a pad token — this avoids warnings. |\n| **Prompt formatting** | `\"<s>[INST] ... [/INST]\"` | Instruct models may need their special tokens or chat templates for best output. |\n| **Quantization** | 4-bit / 8-bit | Only if you use bitsandbytes to save VRAM; then you load with `load_in_4bit=True`. |\n| **Context length** | 4k vs 8k | Some (like MythoMax) can handle longer prompts — Relay could expose that as a config option. |\n\n---\n\n### 🧠 For the Lyra Relay layer\nYour **Relay API** will talk to *“the brain”* (whatever model is loaded) through a uniform interface, e.g.:\n\n```python\ndef query_model(prompt: str) -> str:\n    inputs = tok(prompt, return_tensors=\"pt\").to(\"cuda\")\n    with torch.inference_mode():\n        output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)\n    return tok.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)\n```\n\nThat function doesn’t care whether it’s Mistral, MythoMax, or TinyLlama — it just passes the prompt and gets back text.  \n\n---\n\n### ⚙️ Optional optimization later\nWe *can* later give Relay a config file like:\n\n```yaml\nmodel: Gryphe/MythoMax-L2-13b\ndtype: fp16\nmax_new_tokens: 256\nprompt_style: instruct\n```\n\nThen the same wrapper code can dynamically load whatever model you specify at boot.\n\n---\n\nSo, bottom line:  \n→ **The API code doesn’t change.**  \n→ Only the `model_id` and maybe one or two config lines differ per model.  \n\nWould you like me to show you what a final **Relay-ready API wrapper** would look like for MythoMax right now (just the core code)?"
