Fox 1.6

Fox 1.6 is a compact, device-friendly fork of Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B for general-purpose text generation.

What this repo is

A lightweight Hugging Face model repo with real weights and tokenizer files
Intended to be easier to deploy on consumer hardware than much larger LLMs
Branded and published under the Fox 1.6 name

What this repo is not

It is not trained from scratch here
It is not a claim that the model beats every large frontier model
It is a fork of the upstream Qwen 3 1.7B checkpoint

Intended use

On-device or low-footprint inference
Assistant-style chat and completion
Rapid experimentation with a compact base model

Notes

If you want Fox 1.6 to become a genuinely new model, the next step is to fine-tune this fork on a curated instruction dataset and evaluate it against your target benchmarks.
