Context

We have 3 LoRA adapters trained on Hermes 3 8B (v0, v0.1, v0.2). Time to move to the 14B base.

Prerequisites

  • timmy-config #9 — Hermes 4 14B MLX model downloaded
  • timmy-config #5 — DPO trainer exists (or SFT first)

Steps

  1. Update ~/autolora/ config to point to ~/models/hermes4-14b-mlx/ as base model
  2. Use existing curated training data from training/data/
  3. Train LoRA with MLX: rank 16, lr 1e-6, 1000 steps (same as v0.2)
  4. Save adapter to ~/autolora/adapters/timmy-v0.3/
  5. Verify adapter loads and generates coherent output

Acceptance criteria

  • adapters/timmy-v0.3/adapters.safetensors exists
  • Training loss decreases over steps (paste loss curve)
  • mlx_lm.generate with adapter produces Timmy-sounding output

Closing during the 2026-03-28 backlog burn-down.

Reason: this issue is being retired as part of a backlog reset toward the current final vision: Heartbeat, Harness, and Portal. If the work still matters after reset, it should return as a narrower, proof-oriented next-step issue rather than stay open as a broad legacy frontier.
