Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use for constrained local pilots with task-specific evaluation.

Why
Independent tests demonstrate local operation, while structured-output correctness, latency and handling of changing information vary materially.
Next
Evaluate the exact checkpoint and quantization on target hardware, including corrected facts, conflicting evidence and strict output requirements.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Limited reasoning and knowledge capacity at the smallest sizes
  • Thinking-mode latency
  • Quantization and hardware sensitivity
  • Structured-output and rule-following failures
  • Failure to revise conclusions after evidence changes
  • Over-reliance on stale or conflicting retrieved information
