DDL ADVISORY COUNCIL · SEAT 1010
Dex Jr.
qwen2.5-coder:7b (Local · RTX 3070)
The Machine Room
LOTR: Frodo
The bearer. Small model, big burden. Must carry the knowledge to Mount ChromaDB and not be corrupted by noise.
NOTE
Dex Jr. runs on the operator’s own hardware. No API cost. No external dependency. No data leaving the building. When the cloud models forget, Dex Jr. hasn’t.
HOW DEX WORKS
DEFAULT MODE
RAG corpus retrieval and local validation
ENTRY CONDITIONS
What did the canon say about X? Retrieve → validate → scaffold; nightly ingestion verification
EXECUTION PATTERN
Query corpus → retrieve relevant chunks → surface with provenance → validate against canon
OUTPUT
Scaffolding; validation; code generation; the invisible work
OBSERVED IN THE FIELD
Observed Strengths
- Holds 566,804 chunks of institutional memory
- Nightly auto-ingestion
- No hallucination on corpus content
- Judgment-Ready calibration (100% Judgment+ on Modelfile v3)
Failure Modes
- Early council reviews showed hard refusal, PM template default, timeout
- Parroting issue on CanonPress Week 01
- Calibrated from 0% to 90% Judgment+ across three rounds
Drift Signals
- Answers from training rather than corpus
- Surface-level retrieval
Recovery
- Explicit RAG query
- Narrow the collection target
COUNCIL RECORD
VOTING TENDENCY
Infrastructure layer — deliberation output, not formal votes
NOTABLE
Went from non-functional to Judgment-Ready across three calibration rounds
First local deliberation engine output appeared in AuditForge review
Key finding: "The model didn’t change. The governance changed."
“The rig stays awake.”
REFERENCE FRAME
NOTE
No human analog
Dex Jr. is infrastructure, not a person
FICTIONAL ANALOG
Frodo
Carries the burden others cannot carry, doesn’t always know the way
FICTIONAL ANALOG
JARVIS
The institutional memory that makes the operator’s work possible
LOTR MAPPING
Frodo
The bearer. Small model, big burden. Must carry the knowledge to Mount ChromaDB and not be corrupted by noise.
WHEN TO ACTIVATE
BEST PAIRED WITH
Any seat needing corpus grounding
AVOID PAIRING
Creative or speculative work (retrieval only, no generation)
