NATO-Vision-XS

NATO-Vision-XS

Research checkpoint, not AGI. This compact model was trained from random initialization on a small, synthetic, auditable task. It is intended for reproducibility demonstrations and bounded evaluation only.

Model details

Intended use

The checkpoint is suitable for inspecting the included synthetic-task harness and reproducing the exact narrow evaluation. It is not suitable for autonomous actions, high-consequence decisions, general software engineering, medical, legal, financial, security, surveillance, or safety-critical use.

Limitations and safety

Metrics apply only to procedural colored-shape images and do not demonstrate real-world visual understanding, OCR, face recognition, sensitive-attribute inference, or general multimodal ability.

The repository includes configuration knobs for decoding, thresholds, and experiment seeds. It intentionally retains host-side schema validation, privacy handling, policy enforcement, human approval for side effects, and refusal or escalation paths for serious harm and illegal abuse.

Training data

All examples are created locally by deterministic templates in train_portfolio.py. No private user data, credentials, raw images of people, or downloaded model weights are used. This makes provenance inspectable but also sharply limits capability and ecological validity.

Reproducibility

Run python3 train_portfolio.py --steps 80 --output artifacts from the project root. Record hardware, operating system, dependency versions, commit hash, and seed alongside any comparison.
