The catalog is eight models, not eighteen

Deployment decisionTongue · Voz · Mirage — or a better model next quarter. The call never changes.

A catalog is a promise. If the page lists eighteen models and the resolver can only mount eight on this machine, the other ten are not a catalog — they are a wish.

tool-mode mounts models from Cactus Computer, Desert Ant Labs and other labs as packages, and exposes only what can actually run here. The rest are reported as unavailable, with the reason.

Eight is the honest number

The first five minutes matter. Start with Tongue: two megabytes, weights bundled, no network. If the language detection works, the next model is a decision rather than a leap of faith.

When the catalog grows, the number on the page grows with it. Until then, every name on the page is one the resolver can answer for.
