Tali Models
Production model index for the Tali on-device AI runtime that powers TaliOS — the voice-first, accessibility-driven operating layer built by Intelligent Devices LLC / Augmentalis Inc.
This repository is a catalogue. The actual model weights live in dedicated sibling repositories under the IDEAHQ namespace. Models are downloaded automatically by TaliOS apps via the AssetDelivery module — there is no manual installation step for end users.
Model Families
| Family | Purpose in TaliOS | Repository |
|---|---|---|
| Tali STT | Converts spoken audio into text. Runs continuously when the user is talking to TaliOS. Tuned for low latency on mobile NPUs so commands feel instantaneous. | IDEAHQ/ava-whisper |
| Tali NLU | Embedding model for Natural Language Understanding. Maps a sentence to a fixed-size vector so TaliOS can match what the user said against the catalogue of voice commands and accessibility hints, even when phrasing varies. Runs in milliseconds on CPU. | IDEAHQ/ava-nlu |
| Tali Storm | On-device LLM (large language model) family for general dialogue, command interpretation, and tool-use. Sized for phones and tablets — small enough to run without the network, large enough to hold a real conversation. | IDEAHQ/ava-storm |
| Tali Nautilus | On-device LLM family tuned for reasoning-heavy and vision-language workloads. Used when TaliOS needs to plan multi-step actions, reason over screen content, or interpret images. | IDEAHQ/ava-nautilus |

Why on-device
Every model in this catalogue runs on the user's device. TaliOS does not send voice or screen content to a server for inference. This is a privacy-by-architecture decision, not a feature flag — there is no cloud fallback path in the production runtime.
File Format
All shipped weights are wrapped in AON — Tali's encrypted, signed asset container format. AON files cannot be opened without the runtime; they are decrypted in-process and cached in private app storage. The .aon extension is the only format external tooling sees.
