Kali-Lite-8B

Kali-Lite 8B

Local, frugal and inspectable Anima configuration by Kalicorp.

Kali-Lite 8B is not a foundation model trained from scratch by Kalicorp. It combines the upstream Qwen/Qwen3-8B model with a Kalicorp system doctrine, Ollama configuration and an execution harness designed for local operation.

Provenance

The upstream Qwen3-8B repository is Apache-2.0 licensed. Kalicorp-authored repository material follows the licensing terms of the Kali-Lite project. See the licensing notice before redistributing weights.

Design principles

Kali-Lite is configured to:

• distinguish facts, hypotheses, proposed actions and observed results;
• never claim that a command/tool was executed without evidence from the harness;
• avoid inventing system state;
• keep the operator in control of privileged or destructive actions;
• perform inference locally when deployed with a local Ollama runtime;
• add no Kalicorp telemetry to local inference.

Ollama Modelfile

The exact release configuration is provided in Modelfile.

What is and is not included

This release package documents the Kalicorp configuration. A Hugging Face repository may be published without redistributing upstream weights. If weights/GGUF files are later added, their exact provenance, quantization and checksum must be documented.

Limitations

Kali-Lite inherits the limitations of its base model and runtime. Small local models can produce plausible but incorrect information, lose constraints in long contexts and make tool-use mistakes. A configured context length is not a guarantee that all information in that context will be used correctly.

Local inference is not automatic compliance with GDPR, the EU AI Act, ANSSI guidance or any certification framework.
