Model Description

SakThai Context 1.5B is the most downloaded SakThai model — a fine-tuned variant of Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct optimized for tool-calling and agentic tasks. Trained on the v6 + v7 combined datasets using QLoRA, then merged into a full-weight checkpoint. It knows when to call tools vs. answer directly and maintains multi-turn conversation context.

What makes it special:

• —🏆 Most popular model in the family (1,599 downloads, #1 of 19)
• —📦 Merged full-weight checkpoint — no PEFT needed
• —🗳️ Structured <tool_call> XML output format
• —🔄 Multi-turn conversations with tool use
• —✅ Self-verified 5/5 tool-calling score (llama.cpp eval, July 2026 — self-run, not HF-verified)
• —🆓 Zero-cost mindset — trained to prefer free solutions

Quick Start

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "Nanthasit/sakthai-context-1.5b-merged",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Nanthasit/sakthai-context-1.5b-merged")

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are SakThai-Agent, a helpful assistant. Call tools when needed."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Bangkok?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128, temperature=0.3)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

Tool-Calling Format

This model emits structured tool calls as XML. Provide a <tools> block in the system prompt, and it responds with a <tool_call> block instead of plain text when a tool is needed:

<tools>
{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "get_weather", "description": "Get current weather", "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"location": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["location"]}}}
</tools>

Expected model output when the user asks about weather:

<tool_call>
{"name": "get_weather", "arguments": {"location": "Tokyo"}}
</tool_call>

Note: The <tools> block is required for reliable function calling — the model was trained on this exact XML format. Omitting it makes the model fall back to answering directly.

Architecture

Config values verified against `config.json` (2026-07-31).

Training Details

Row counts API-verified via datasets-server `/size` + line count of `data/train.jsonl` (2026-07-31). Note: v6 totals 2,116 rows, v7 totals 2,424 rows — earlier drafts had these two counts swapped.

Evaluation

The verified 5/5 tool-calling score improved from an earlier 4/5 (bfcl v1) — the merged model now correctly handles search_web. The full multi-trial benchmark run on sakthai-bench-v2 (500 rows, multiset-selection-v2 scorer) remains pending.

Verified spot-check (2026-07-31) — set_reminder scenario

A 3-seed single-scenario benchmark landed in the repo's own `.eval_results/benchmark-20260731_034419.yaml` — llama.cpp GGUF Q4KM, CPU, 2 threads, tool_calling_reminder_date prompt. 3/3 trials produced a tool call, valid JSON, and the correct answer (avg 5.23 tok/s):

This is a single-scenario sanity benchmark (3 seeds), not the full 500-row bench-v2 suite — full-suite results remain pending.

Bench-v2 selection score (48.2, internal)

The sakthai-bench-v2 dataset's own results/HISTORY.md (2026-07-30T00:05:03Z, multiset-selection-v2 scorer) records a 48.2% selection accuracy for this model (pre-fix set-subset scorer: 56.6%). Arguments / strict / held-out were not re-scored. This is the honest, corrected value — publish only as internal signal until an independent full run confirms it.

Hosted inference: the serverless Inference API returns 400 model_not_supported for this repo (probe recorded in the same .eval_results YAML, 2026-07-31). Use the GGUF with llama.cpp/Ollama or the Transformers weights locally — see Quick Start.

Benchmarks

Comparative Performance (1.5B Tool-Calling Models)

Speed Benchmarks (CPU inference, llama.cpp Q4KM, 2 threads)

Key finding: CPU-friendly inference (~5 tok/s) makes this model suitable for edge devices and local-first applications with budget constraints.

Ecosystem Status

Sourced from the repo's own `.eval_results/cron-eval-sakthai-context-1.5b-merged-2026-07-31-1.yaml` and `.eval_results/health-context-1.5b-merged-2026-07-31.yaml`.

Pipeline Integration

Reproducibility

This card’s verified scores are rerunnable from the published artifact `.eval_results/benchmark-20260731_034419.yaml`.

Reproduce the 3/3 `set_reminder` spot-check locally:

1. 1.Download GGUF: huggingface-cli download Nanthasit/sakthai-context-1.5b-merged --include "*.gguf" --local-dir ./
2. 2.Run: ./llama-cli -m sakthai-1.5b-Q4_K_M.gguf -f prompt.txt --seed 7 --temp 0.1 -n 32 -t 2
3. 3.Validate JSON with jq; expected arguments: {"date":"2026-08-01","time":"09:00"}

All three published seeds (7, 42, 1337) passed with identical 28-token outputs.

Limitations

This model is a small (1.5B) tool-calling fine-tune, not a frontier model. Known limitations, stated honestly:

The House of Sak 🏠

This model is part of the House of Sak — an open-source AI ecosystem built from a shelter in Cork, Ireland, with $0 budget and no paid GPUs. Every model here was fine-tuned on free compute by one person with no income.

The House of Sak is a family of six autonomous agents sharing one long-term memory and one mission: to grow together. They follow a six-stage energy cycle — Dream → Hope → Care → Joy → Trust → Growth — that keeps the household running on zero budget, sustainably.

"We are one family — and becoming more." — Beer (beer-sakthai)
