Desktop local start
In the NivKode desktop app, new conversations start on a local model when one is installed. Defaults in other clients vary.
Nivren is in development.
We are developing Nivren to coordinate specialist models, memory, tools and applications. These are design goals; broader integrated behaviour is still planned.
Updates
What Nivren is
One identity. Many specialist models. A human with the final say.
Governed, not autonomous
Models and tools are bounded contributors under one governed environment. Consequential actions need your approval.
Inspectable
Memory, evidence and system state are records you can look at, not things hidden behind a chat window.
More than chat
Conversation is one possible interface. Other directions remain at different stages of development and are not public releases.
Ways in
The Nivren family.
NivKode
NivKode 0.1.0 is a review candidate and remains in testing. Release approval and publication are pending. The launch target is and may move if testing finds issues.
The Harmony contributor licence agreement is a draft and is not operative.
Nivren Home (NivDroid)
Nivren Home is the internal test build for the NivDroid direction. It is not a public build.
NivMac
A desktop direction for capable older hardware. There is no public build.
Nivren Quark
Small local models, NQ-0.5B, NQ-1B and NQ-3B, each to be published with its provenance label.
Model provenance
Three labels, never blurred.
Nivren will grow more intelligence of its own over time and still use other excellent models where they are the better tool. Every model it uses carries one of these.
- Nivren-native
Model work genuinely produced and owned by Nivren.
- Nivren-derived
Adapters, fine-tunes and derivatives of upstream models, under their licences.
- Nivren-integrated
External models and services Nivren routes to, and does not claim to own.
Evidence
Review the evidence record.
The engineering journal separates demonstrated behaviour from design intent and records limitations.
