OmniSenter Blog Catalog

The one page that indexes everything. Every post in the OmniSenter blog catalog, with summaries, reading order, and cross-links to HF models + GitHub repos.

Start here

If you only read one post, read the-omni-family.md. It explains the naming convention that every other post uses. Without it, "Senter", "Ohm", and "OmniSenter" sound like noise.

Current state (transitional)

The models currently published on HuggingFace under sovthpaw/ are the v1 transitional lineage:

The new architecture (Senter Ohm 32A8B, OmniSenter 12B, OmniSenterStep) will replace these as it ships. They're foundation, not destination.

The posts

🏛️ Foundations (read first)

Post What's in it Read time
the-omni-family.md The naming convention: Omni (multimodal), Senter (agentic), Ohm (self-evolving), Senter Ohm (the flagship). With a family tree. 5 min
the-omnimodal-fusion.md The three-component fusion that powers every Omni model: Cosmos × ACE-Step × Nemotron ASR. 8 min
the-omnistep-multimodal.md The destination unified model — a single Darwin-merged text backbone with all modality heads. The current transitional sovthpaw/omnistep-12a3b is the proof-of-concept. 7 min

🚀 The Flagship (the build)

Post What's in it Read time
senter-ohm-flagship.md The flagship post. Senter Ohm = ~32B-total / 8B-active MoE with the Ohm self-evolution engine bundled. The design doc. 15 min
senter-ohm-32a8b-math.md The math: per-layer params, active vs total, 4-bit vs bf16 disk, VRAM at inference, VRAM at training. 8 min
the-5-stage-pipeline.md The 5-stage build sequence: SFT → evolutionary merge → sparse upcycle → 256K YaRN → plugin+notebook+Ohm wiring. With wall times. 10 min
sparse-upcycling-deep-dive.md Stage 3 deep dive: turning an 8B dense into a 32B MoE with 8B active. Math, script, design choices, wild cards. 12 min

🧠 The Concepts (what makes it special)

Post What's in it Read time
the-synthesia-layer.md The cross-modal memory indexer. Joint (text, audio, image) embeddings, 10 concrete benefits, the data it needs. 10 min
the-ohm-runtime.md The self-evolving model file. The .ohm bundle format, the background CMA-ES loop, the safety properties. 12 min
the-omnisenter-architecture.md The full system architecture: Layer 0 stream I/O, Layer 1 MoE, Layer 1.5 Synthesia, Layer 2 plugins, Layer 3 Hermes, Layer 5.5 Ohm. 15 min

🔌 The Integration (how it ships)

Post What's in it Read time
senter-as-hermes-auxiliary.md How Senter talks to Hermes Agent. The notebook-as-API pattern, the escalation rules, the cost model. 12 min
the-notebook-schema.md The notebook spec. YAML session files, cross-modal moments, the compaction policy, the privacy model. 10 min

🧬 The Research (extending the approach)

Post What's in it Read time
generative-darwin-evolution.md Extending Darwin Family weight-space merging to DiT/audio/video. The research direction. 10 min

Cross-reference cheat sheet

Every blog post links to: - The Omni Family post (naming source of truth) - The relevant sibling posts in the catalog - The relevant HF models - The relevant GitHub repos - The relevant wiki concepts (~/wiki/concepts/)

If you find a blog post that doesn't link to the Omni Family post or its siblings, that's a bug — please report.

Companion projects

  • nous-girl-agent — the desktop assistant, local model server, and OmniStep Evolution Radio plugin. The assistant is a curated multimodal experience of OmniStep; the radio is the evolutionary ambient layer. Two-tier agent: assistant = taste curator, Hermes main = action executor.
