pokee_research_7b GGUF Models
Model Generation Details
This model was generated using llama.cpp at commit 16724b5b6.
Quantization Beyond the IMatrix
I've been experimenting with a new quantization approach that selectively elevates the precision of key layers beyond what the default IMatrix configuration provides.
In my testing, standard IMatrix quantization underperforms at lower bit depths, especially with Mixture of Experts (MoE) models. To address this, I'm using the --tensor-type option in llama.cpp to manually "bump" important layers to higher precision. You can see the implementation here:
👉 Layer bumping with llama.cpp
While this does increase model file size, it significantly improves precision for a given quantization level.
I'd love your feedback—have you tried this? How does it perform for you?

Model Description
PokeeResearch-7B is a 7-billion-parameter deep research agent developed by Pokee AI to advance reliable, aligned, and scalable research-grade reasoning in tool-augmented LLMs.
The model integrates Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF) with a robust reasoning scaffold, enabling it to conduct complex, multi-step research workflows that include self-correction, verification, and synthesis across multiple independent research threads.

Uses
Direct Use
PokeeResearch-7B is designed for deep research automation, where the model autonomously:
- Decomposes complex user queries
- Retrieves and reads from external sources
- Synthesizes factual, verifiable, and grounded answers
It can be used as a standalone research assistant or integrated into multi-agent systems to support academic, enterprise, or product-level research tasks.
Downstream Use
PokeeResearch-7B can be fine-tuned or extended for:
- Domain-specific scientific discovery
- Autonomous document retrieval and synthesis
- Multi-source verification and summarization pipelines
- Integration into reinforcement learning research agents (RLHF/RLAIF frameworks)
Out-of-Scope Use
The model should not be used for:
- Generating unverified or speculative claims
- Automated decision-making in high-stakes domains (medical, legal, or financial)
- Applications requiring strict factual precision without external verification
- Generating content without citation or evidence tracing
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
PokeeResearch-7B is optimized for factual grounding and robustness, but limitations include:
- Dependence on external data quality and retrieval accuracy
- Potential semantic bias introduced by AI-based feedback signals
- Limited coverage for non-English or multi-modal reasoning tasks
- Risk of hallucinated synthesis when sources conflict or lack clarity
Recommendations
Users should:
- Cross-verify answers, especially in multi-hop reasoning cases
- Monitor output for citation accuracy and alignment with source data
- Refrain from using outputs as sole evidence in decision-critical contexts

🚀 If you find these models useful
Help me test my AI-Powered Quantum Network Monitor Assistant with quantum-ready security checks:
The full Open Source Code for the Quantum Network Monitor Service available at my github repos ( repos with NetworkMonitor in the name) : Source Code Quantum Network Monitor. You will also find the code I use to quantize the models if you want to do it yourself GGUFModelBuilder
💬 How to test:
Choose an AI assistant type:
TurboLLM(GPT-4.1-mini)HugLLM(Hugginface Open-source models)TestLLM(Experimental CPU-only)
What I’m Testing
I’m pushing the limits of small open-source models for AI network monitoring, specifically:
- Function calling against live network services
- How small can a model go while still handling:
- Automated Nmap security scans
- Quantum-readiness checks
- Network Monitoring tasks
🟡 TestLLM – Current experimental model (llama.cpp on 2 CPU threads on huggingface docker space):
- ✅ Zero-configuration setup
- ⏳ 30s load time (slow inference but no API costs) . No token limited as the cost is low.
- 🔧 Help wanted! If you’re into edge-device AI, let’s collaborate!
Other Assistants
🟢 TurboLLM – Uses gpt-4.1-mini :
- **It performs very well but unfortunatly OpenAI charges per token. For this reason tokens usage is limited.
- Create custom cmd processors to run .net code on Quantum Network Monitor Agents
- Real-time network diagnostics and monitoring
- Security Audits
- Penetration testing (Nmap/Metasploit)
🔵 HugLLM – Latest Open-source models:
- 🌐 Runs on Hugging Face Inference API. Performs pretty well using the lastest models hosted on Novita.
💡 Example commands you could test:
"Give me info on my websites SSL certificate""Check if my server is using quantum safe encyption for communication""Run a comprehensive security audit on my server"- '"Create a cmd processor to .. (what ever you want)" Note you need to install a Quantum Network Monitor Agent to run the .net code on. This is a very flexible and powerful feature. Use with caution!
Final Word
I fund the servers used to create these model files, run the Quantum Network Monitor service, and pay for inference from Novita and OpenAI—all out of my own pocket. All the code behind the model creation and the Quantum Network Monitor project is open source. Feel free to use whatever you find helpful.
If you appreciate the work, please consider buying me a coffee ☕. Your support helps cover service costs and allows me to raise token limits for everyone.
I'm also open to job opportunities or sponsorship.
Thank you! 😊
