Thoughtful Thermostat

These are the weights in gguf format for the "thoughtful thermostat" from our paper Teaching Things To Think: Bootstrapping Local Reasoning for Smart(er) Devices.

The base model has been fine-tuned to take "action" and "explanation" oriented commands that a user might give to a smart thermostat and generate either JSON actions or natural language explanations in response.

Please refer to the GitHub repo for more information.

Prompt Structure

The models are fine-tuned to accept prompts in this format:

Action

User: {command}
[SENSORS] {sensor json} [/SENSORS]
Output: [SETTINGS]

Introspection

User: {command}
[SENSORS] {sensor json} [/SENSORS]
[SETTINGS] {settings json} [/SETTINGS]
Output: [EXPLANATION]
