	# CipherModel-1.5B

	> Your IDE's new best friend.
	> The model behind [CipherCode](https://huggingface.co/guhantech) — the AI coding assistant that learns your style, remembers your projects, and writes code in your voice.
	>
	> By Lila AI LLC · Closed beta v0.1

	## What CipherCode Delivers

	CipherCode isn't another generic completion plugin. It's a complete coding companion that lives natively inside VS Code and adapts to you.

	### Cipher Persona — Your Style, Learned

	The first time you open a workspace, CipherCode silently scans your code and detects:

	- Naming conventions (camelCase / snake_case / PascalCase)
	- Function style (arrow vs named declarations)
	- Async style (async/await vs `.then`)
	- Comment placement and verbosity
	- Indent size, semicolon preference, type-annotation density
	- Your most-used libraries and imports

	From that moment forward, every suggestion is generated to feel like you wrote it. Nothing leaves your machine — Persona lives entirely in VS Code's `globalState`.

	### Project Memory — Continuity That Actually Helps

	CipherCode remembers your project across sessions:

	\| What's tracked \| Where \|
	\|---\|---\|
	\| Project summary (auto-detected from `package.json` / README) \| `.vscode/cipher-memory.json` \|
	\| Project type (`node` / `python` / `other`) \| local \|
	\| Top 10 most-edited files \| local \|
	\| Architectural decisions you've made \| local \|
	\| Last 20 chat messages \| local \|
	\| Recurring patterns in your code \| local \|

	This context is injected into every prompt, so when you come back tomorrow, the model already knows what you're building.

	### Smart Commands

	Right-click anywhere in your editor:

	- Explain Code — clear summary of what's happening, even without a selection
	- Refactor Code — clean up while preserving your style
	- Fix Bug — find and patch issues, style-matched
	- Add Comments — comment in your voice
	- Document This File — language-aware doc comments (TSDoc / JSDoc / Google Python / Javadoc / XMLDoc / Doxygen / godoc / rustdoc / PHPDoc / YARD)
	- Generate README from Project — full README from your code structure

	Plus an inline chat sidebar with persistent history, code-block copy buttons, "Insert at cursor" actions, and a stop button that actually stops.

	### Privacy by Architecture

	- Code stays on your machine — only the snippet you act on hits inference
	- Persona never leaves your laptop
	- Project memory lives in your workspace, not a Lila AI server
	- Self-hostable on your own GCP if you want full ownership
	- No telemetry, no accounts, no subscription

	## Powered By

	Built on [Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B-Instruct) — Alibaba's state-of-the-art open code model — quantized to Q4_K_M for efficient CPU inference and packaged for deployment via `llama.cpp`.

	The intelligence in CipherCode comes from layering Persona detection, Project Memory, and carefully designed prompt templates on top of a strong base. The CipherCode VS Code extension orchestrates all of it; this repo hosts the weights it serves.

	A LoRA fine-tune is on the roadmap for v0.2 — trained on real-world IDE workflow patterns collected during the closed beta.

	## Specifications

	\| \| \|
	\|---\|---\|
	\| Architecture \| Qwen2.5-Coder transformer \|
	\| Parameters \| 1.5 B \|
	\| Context window \| 32 K (production runs at 4 K for efficiency) \|
	\| Quantization \| Q4_K_M \|
	\| File size \| 1.07 GB \|
	\| License \| Apache 2.0 — free for commercial use \|
	\| Strong languages \| Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Rust, C/C++ \|

	## Quick Start

	### Easy path — install the VS Code extension

	If Lila AI sent you the closed-beta `.vsix`:

	```bash
	code --install-extension ciphercode-0.1.0.vsix
	```

	Open VS Code. Welcome walkthrough opens automatically. Start typing. No setup, no token, no GCP.

	### Hands-on path — run the model locally

	```bash
	# Pull the GGUF
	hf download guhantech/CipherModel-1.5B \
	CipherModel-1.5B-Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir .

	# Serve with llama-server
	llama-server \
	-m CipherModel-1.5B-Q4_K_M.gguf \
	--host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 \
	--ctx-size 4096 -np 5

	# Make a request
	curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	-d '{
	"model": "cipher-model",
	"messages": [{"role":"user","content":"write a python fizzbuzz"}],
	"max_tokens": 256
	}'
	```

	### Python (`llama-cpp-python`)

	```python
	from llama_cpp import Llama

	llm = Llama(model_path="CipherModel-1.5B-Q4_K_M.gguf", n_ctx=4096)
	out = llm("def fizzbuzz(n):", max_tokens=256)
	print(out["choices"][0]["text"])
	```

	## Roadmap

	\| Version \| Status \| What's in it \|
	\|---\|---\|---\|
	\| v0.1 \| Live \| Closed beta. Cipher Persona + Project Memory + 11 commands + chat sidebar. \|
	\| v0.2 \| Planned \| LoRA fine-tune on collected IDE workflows. Better instruction-following. \|
	\| v0.3 \| Planned \| Multi-file context awareness. Whole-project doc generation. \|
	\| v1.0 \| Planned \| Public Marketplace launch. Optional hosted Pro tier for zero-setup. \|
