Omni¶

The multimodal family. See the full blog post: ../../blog/the-omni-family.md

Definition¶

Omni is the multimodal native family. Any model called "Omni" assumes omnimodality — text, vision, audio, video, music. It does not have the agentic core wired in. It does not self-evolve.

Members¶

Omni (the umbrella)¶

The base multimodal family. An "Omni" model is recognisable by the fact that it has all modalities (text + image + audio + video + music) but is not an agent and doesn't self-evolve.

OmniStep¶

OmniStep is Cosmos + AceStep 4B Darwin Family children, fused. It's the multimodal + music model. Useful for generative music, audio understanding, and any task where the model needs to think in sound.

Naming: "Step" suffix is from the music lineage (ACE-Step)
Live on HF: sovthpaw/omnistep-12a3b — 12B total / 3B active, 4 GGUFs + 4 safetensors
Status: transitional v1 (the new architecture's OmniStep will replace it)

The two-letter rule¶

Word	Means	Adds
Omni	multimodal native	vision, audio, music, video — all in one model
Senter	the agentic core is wired in	tool use, function calling, planning, notebook
Ohm	the self-evolution engine is bundled	CMA-ES, genome, validation set, atomic swap

You can mix them. Senter Ohm = agentic + self-evolving. Omni alone = multimodal but not agentic and not self-evolving.
