Kush V2 ships with zero data contamination, 1,443 curated training pairs, and 184 agent-generated examples. The first Hotep model with 7-gate validation.
The first Hotep model on Meta's Llama 3.1 8B. A new naming convention, a new base architecture, and the bridge between v14's failures and Kush V2's triumph.
How a 7-agent autonomous swarm transformed response quality from C+ to A-, and what the upcoming Kush V1 model means for sovereign intelligence.
V14 trained successfully, passed compilation, and served real users — then scored 25/100 on quality audit. How contaminated training data hid in plain sight.
We switched base models, copied hyperparameters, and lost 29 GB of compute in hours. V13 was our most expensive failure — and our most valuable lesson.
Hotep LLM v11 was not just a model — it was an infrastructure revolution. How our hybrid scoring system and data pipeline shaped every model after it.
Hotep LLM v10 now in production: how rigorous persona scoring, the Kosmos discovery, and an advanced RAG pipeline built our most aligned sovereign model.
Building sovereign AI: a deep technical dive into self-hosted LLM infrastructure. How we built Hotep Intelligence with zero API dependencies or censorship.
