## 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
