Daimon-R 🤖

The flagship local brain of Daimon — reasoning + coding. Runs on a GPU via llama.cpp.

Daimon-R is the flagship brain of Daimon — a local-first personal AI assistant. Daimon-R = Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 (quantized GGUF) + a Daimon LoRA, served locally with llama.cpp. The weights are open — use them standalone today.

What the Daimon LoRA adds

The LoRA tunes persona and behavior, not raw coding (that stays at the base's level):

• A consistent Daimon identity (first person, local-first assistant) instead of a generic "language model" voice.
• Canvas convention: when you ask it to build a web/app/UI it replies with a single self-contained html block that renders live — no preamble, no copy-paste.
• Concise Rioplatense Spanish for chat, plus a voice-friendly register for TTS.

Benchmarks (real, measured locally)

Daimon uses this model to pick JSON tool-call actions for its browser co-pilot, computer-use, and code-editing agents (e.g. {"action":"click","ref":3}). Measured on 198 held-out synthetic scenarios — disjoint vocabulary/phrasing from training, zero string-level overlap with the training set, graded objectively (not by text similarity):

Metric	Base Qwen3-4B + identity-only LoRA	Daimon-R
Valid JSON	97.5%	100.0%
Correct action chosen	65.8%	94.4%
Correct action + correct fields (ref/path/command/...)	39.2%	94.4%

Persona/behavior suite (identity, canvas-HTML convention, Rioplatense style, no-refusal): 12/12, no regression from the identity-only checkpoint.

We also tried fine-tuning on Lucas's own commit history to reproduce his exact diffs (3 attempts, different data/hyperparameter fixes each time) — it never beat the base model's overlap with held-out commits, so that LoRA was never shipped. We only publish results that actually win a real, pre-registered comparison.

Daimon — coming soon

These weights are the brain of Daimon, a local-first personal assistant that runs on your own machine: real-time local voice, a co-pilot browser that Daimon and you share, a canvas for apps & prototypes, and hybrid local/cloud routing. The full app isn't public yet — these open models are a complement you can already build on. Watch @lucas-mella for the release.
