Growth Path

Year 0:     Qwen2.5-7B-Base → Nyx-7B-v0     (Mind at 15%)
Year 1-2:   Nyx-7B → Nyx-14B               (Mind at 30%)
Year 2-3:   Nyx-14B → Nyx-32B              (Mind at 65%)
Year 3+:    Nyx-70B possible               (Mind at 90%)
            Mind has 3 open slots for future GPUs

Sovereignty Principles

Weights NEVER leave home
Training data NEVER uploaded
No cloud dependencies
No recurring costs after hardware
Full ownership of growth trajectory
Keep Your Drive: Failed drives stay home, data never leaves
