Hito 1.7B - GGUF

Quantized versions for llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, and more

About

This repository contains GGUF quantized versions of hitonet/hito-1.7b.

Hito is a 1.7B parameter model with structured thinking patterns that enable better accuracy and transparency.

For the original model (safetensors), training details, benchmarks, and full documentation, see the main repository.

Ollama

# Download the recommended quantization
wget https://huggingface.co/hitonet/hito-1.7b-GGUF/resolve/main/hito-1.7b-Q4_K_M.gguf

# Create Modelfile
cat > Modelfile << 'EOF'
FROM hito-1.7b-Q4_K_M.gguf
SYSTEM "You are Hito by Hitonet.com."
PARAMETER temperature 0.7
PARAMETER stop "<|im_end|>"
EOF

# Create and run
ollama create hito -f Modelfile
ollama run hito

llama.cpp

./llama-cli -m hito-1.7b-Q4_K_M.gguf \
  -sys "You are Hito by Hitonet.com." \
  -p "What is your name?" \
  -n 256

What Makes Hito Special

Structured Thinking: Uses <think> tags for transparent reasoning
Self-Correcting: Catches errors mid-reasoning
Humble by Design: Admits uncertainty rather than hallucinating
Efficient: Only 1.7B parameters, runs on CPU
