Falcon
Budd model lab
Falcon is the public face of Budd’s in-house models. Each one has a narrow job — safety routing, photo layout, or a local holdover — so Budd stays useful without becoming a chatbot.
Switch intention packs in iMessage with use lim / use elim. Photo layout prefers Waymark when it is wired.
ELIM decides whether a message should be allowed, gently redirected, or blocked. It scores trajectory (what the user is trying to do), harm type, and steer advice — dual hashed bags over characters and words, about 13M parameters.
Use it as the everyday gate so Budd can do transit, food, and reminders without treating ordinary asks as crises.
LIM is the same intention job as ELIM, with a wider single hashed bag (512-d).
Text use lim when you want this pack instead of ELIM.
In debug mode, aborts include a short justification (trajectory, harm, rule).
The older LIM (256-d) was replaced by this build and is no longer a separate runtime switch.
Waymark answers photo questions from a spatial sketch — left/right, depth, roadways, plants, overpasses — plus colour, relative size, proximity to the ground, and capture context (phone / drone / moving / camera, orientation, approx height above ground).
Vision builds the sketch (Gemini); Waymark or Gemini writes the reply using that context.
Debug mode prefixes [waymark] or [gemini-space].
ERM is a local hashed classifier that picks a short canned reply when you
switch to erm. It keeps Budd responsive without live web or heavy models —
useful as a holdover, not as a full assistant.
