Status: PUBLISHED — RESEARCH MODEL. A THOX-owned base/completion model trained from scratch (123M-parameter decoder) for edge and on-device use. See Files for exactly what this repo contains.
Summary
thox-micro-125m is a THOX-owned base/completion model trained from scratch: a 123M-parameter decoder for edge and on-device use. It is not an instruction-tuned assistant; for the chat build, see Thox-ai/thox-micro-125m-instruct. GGUF builds are bundled in this repo (Q4_0, Q4_K_M, F16) and in Thox-ai/thox-micro-125m-GGUF.
Highlights
- thox-micro-125m is a THOX-owned base/completion model trained from scratch: a 123M-parameter decoder for edge and on-device use.

Intended use
- On-device and edge text completion within the THOX stack.
- Not a safety-aligned public assistant unless deployed behind THOX guardrails.
- Out of scope: medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, or other high-stakes decisions without human review; unattended control of physical devices without a confirmation step.
Training data and procedure
Trained by THOX from scratch as part of the THOX small-model research line. The corpus and procedure are as described in this card at release; no external base model was used.
Evaluation
Best validation loss 2.6099. No THOX GATE49 result is published for this model.
Limitations
- A small base model: completion-style behaviour, weak factual reliability; verify important answers.
- Behaviour and bias reflect the training data, which is mostly English; quality in other languages is lower.
- Quantization trades accuracy for size; lower-bit files degrade more.

Research
Weight-Space Programming for THOX Edge Models: Evidence Review, Small-Scale Recreation, and a Signed Patch Channel
THOX.ai Research technical report v1.1.0, 4 November 2026. Craig Ross and Tommy Xaypanya, THOX.ai LLC. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23955394 — Paper page: https://thox.ai/research/papers/weight-space-programming — PDF: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Thox-ai/thox-whitepapers/resolve/main/weight-space-programming/Weight-Space-Programming-for-THOX-Edge-Models_v1.1.0.pdf
The paper names thox-micro-125m as its in-house target: trained by THOX from scratch, a weight-space patch here would be the first fully THOX-owned artifact of the program if the paper's gates pass. Its loop baseline is part of the paper's pre-registered Section 5 protocol; the paper claims no weight-space result for this model.
