Nexus Swarm Worker — GGUF (Qwen3-8B Q4_K_M)
Quantized GGUF of the worker node in the NEXUS Swarm v4a-max distributed offensive security agent system. The full LoRA adapter chain (DAPT + SFT + FARCA-GRPO) is merged into Qwen/Qwen3-8B and quantized to Q4_K_M via llama.cpp.
Role: Worker
The worker is the executor of the swarm. It receives specific, scoped subtasks from the orchestrator and executes them immediately with minimal reasoning. Designed to run on an RTX 3070 Laptop (8 GB).
Core behavior:
- Execute delegated tasks with correct tool calls — no re-planning
- Parse and structure tool output for the orchestrator to consume
- Prioritize speed and correctness over verbose explanation
