Pre-release
v0.0.1-rc16
CPU-first usability and benchmark reproducibility release.
Summary
- Increase the dedicated
system_infofinal budget to avoid truncated hardware/spec answers. - Clarify CPU-first native server documentation and optional MTP usage.
- Add a metadata header to
orbit bench-corefor reproducible benchmark context. - Document bench/profile guidance and conservative server profile suggestions.
- Move the MTP draft model download out of the base install flow and into the optional MTP section.
Runtime behavior
system_info now has a dedicated final-from-tool output budget.
This avoids truncated answers for prompts such as:
tell me specs about this computer
Observed smoke result:
- before:
tks 287->96,stop: length,/continuerequired - after:
tks 289->137,stop: stop, no/continue
This change is scoped to system_info. Small shell, grep, and unknown final budgets remain unchanged.
Documentation
The README now presents the default server path as:
orbit serverNative MTP remains explicit:
orbit server --mtpThe MTP draft model download is documented only in the optional MTP section. The base install flow downloads only the main Gemma model and the multimodal projection model.
Benchmarks
orbit bench-core now prints a metadata header by default, including:
- Orbit commit/tag
- Orbit binary path
- base URL
- workdir
- timeout and max tokens
- Python/platform
- selected Orbit environment variables
- best-effort backend
/propsfields when available
Use --no-metadata to restore minimal benchmark output.
MTP status
MTP remains optional and diagnostic/experimental for performance work.
