Ely-Eye

Ely-Eye is a local multimodal context operating system built on Qwen3.5-9B. It runs on a single consumer GPU and gives a small model three tiers of context: a 262K native window, a 1.01M extended window, and a 100M-token memory capsule it can retrieve from, cite, and recall across sessions.

Under the hood it ingests PDFs, screenshots, video, and code into Evidence Atoms, packs them into a Context Cartridge, retrieves with sparse and Qwen embedding search, runs Qwen3.5-9B with trained LoRA adapters, and checks every answer with a verifier. A fifteen-check proof suite exercises the whole thing against the live model, so a real run can be told apart from a fabricated one.

The landing site lives at https://model.elydora.com/ (its source is under ely-eye-web/, which this repository does not track).

Requirements

• Windows with an NVIDIA GPU and CUDA. Training and the proof suite were built on an RTX 4090; deployment targets a 16GB card such as an RTX 4080.
• The extended-context runtimes (SGLang, vLLM, KTransformers, llama.cpp) are optional and run under WSL. The default Windows runtime uses Transformers and needs none of them.

Run it locally

.\scripts\install.ps1            # virtual env, PyTorch + CUDA, Transformers, PEFT, bitsandbytes
.\scripts\download-models.ps1    # Qwen3.5-9B, the 0.8B planner, Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B
.\scripts\serve-backend.ps1      # API on http://127.0.0.1:8765
.\scripts\serve-frontend.ps1     # dashboard on http://127.0.0.1:5173

When ELY_EYE_ADAPTER_DIR is empty, the runtime picks the latest trained HME-Core-LoRA adapter for Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B on its own; ely-eye status prints which adapter it resolved.

For the 262K and 1.01M extended-context profiles, set up the Linux runtimes once and launch one:

.\scripts\setup-linux-runtimes.ps1
.\scripts\launch-sglang-live.ps1       # 262K
.\scripts\launch-sglang-extreme.ps1    # 1.01M via YaRN

Core commands

.\.venv\Scripts\ely-eye.exe status
.\.venv\Scripts\ely-eye.exe ingest C:\path\to\package --cartridge-name project
.\.venv\Scripts\ely-eye.exe hashhop --kind visual --hops 2 --token-equivalent 262144
.\.venv\Scripts\ely-eye.exe proof-suite

Every command has an HTTP equivalent under /api/..., and the dashboard shows the same state: Adapter Matrix, Proof Suite, Memory Map, Cache Trace.

Fine-tuning

Training runs real BF16 LoRA updates on the GPU through Unsloth-patched Transformers, PEFT, and bitsandbytes with paged 8-bit AdamW. Each run writes the PEFT adapter alongside a manifest, a per-step training trace, a summary, and a proof file that records dataset and weight hashes, per-step loss, optimizer-update norms, and the CUDA/BF16 environment.

The adapter set:

HME-Core-LoRA      Qwen3.5-9B attention/MLP
HME-Vision-LoRA    Qwen3.5-9B visual projector and selected vision layers
HME-TTT-VL         Qwen3.5-9B mutable MLP and visual adapter
HME-Visual-MTP     Qwen3.5-9B draft-head LoRA
HME-Router         Qwen3.5-0.8B context planner
HME-Retrieval      Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B contrastive retrieval adapter

Proof suite

ely-eye proof-suite runs fifteen checks against the live model and writes the evidence under .ely_eye/data/eval_proofs/. Among them:

• real CUDA BF16 LoRA training — changed weight hashes, nonzero optimizer updates, per-step loss
• the runtime loading the model and adapter and generating a cited answer
• Visual HashHop: multi-hop visual addressing the model has to actually solve, with no OCR shortcut
• the 100M-token memory capsule committing to a reproducible Memory DNA
• the Visual Contradiction Lens localizing cross-version drift (design-token, layout, typography, copy, visual-code, temporal) at >=80% recall with no false positives
• standard benchmark samples (MMMU-Pro, OCRBench, and others) scored against ground truth

MCP server for coding agents

ely-eye-mcp/ is a local Model Context Protocol server that exposes the .ely_eye memory store to coding agents such as Codex and Claude Code. One command builds a native Go binary (or downloads a prebuilt one), installs it under .ely_eye/bin/, and registers it with both clients. No Docker.

Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\ely-eye-mcp\install.ps1 -Client both

Linux and macOS:

bash ./ely-eye-mcp/install.sh --client both

The agent then has nine read-only tools over the live memory — status, cartridge listing and detail, Evidence Atom search and fetch, evidence-pack compilation, proof suites, and HashHop proofs. The server opens the database read-only and never writes to it. The same installer works against any .ely_eye store, not only this repository. See ely-eye-mcp/README.md for the full tool list and the release pipeline.

Data layout

Runtime state lives under .ely_eye/ (git-ignored):

.ely_eye/
├─ adapters/     trained LoRA adapters
├─ data/         sqlite database and eval proofs
├─ training/     datasets and training traces
├─ objects/      ingested source files
├─ cache/        cache fabric
└─ cartridges/   materialized Context Cartridges

A Context Cartridge is a self-contained memory package: the Evidence Atoms, a sparse index and vector indexes, a temporal graph, KV snapshots, the memory capsule, any attached adapters, and the eval proofs.
