QLoRA / LoRA fine-tuning pipeline for the aide-cipher-4b in-house model (Qwen2.5-Coder 4B Q8 + LoRA adapter) on the GTX 1060 6GB. Use when preparing training data, running a fine-tune round, evaluating the new adapter against the capability battery, and promoting/archiving the result. Research-backed, no guessing.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# cipher-qlora-finetune — adapter fine-tune SOP for the in-house model

## 0. What this skill is for

The in-house model in AIDE is `aide-cipher-4b`:
- Base: `Qwen2.5-Coder-7B`-class lineage, actually 4B (4,022,468,096 params) at Q8_0
- Adapter: `frontier-lora.gguf` (v1, 132 MB) — operator-trained, currently the production adapter
- Runtime: `llama-server` (CPU build today, since Vulkan probe fails on this VMware SVGA stack; per `daemon-restart.err.log`)

The fine-tuning lane: produce a v2 adapter, evaluate against the same capability battery, promote only on positive delta, never regress the production path.

**Why this matters:** the user wants to "continue improving it, fine-tuning it, and testing it in AIDE-world workflows." The first step is a reproducible, measurable, gated fine-tuning round. Not LoRA on the 4B base at random — a documented procedure with research-backed numbers and verification gates.

| Base model | `base.q8_0.gguf` (4.28 GB) | `E:\aide-sovereign-workbench\models\aide-house\` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/cipher-qlora-finetune@sha256:950b33a19b3b9d4b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.e9ac98d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
