💬 Prompt Template: ChatML

SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct natively parses the standard ChatML format. Ensure your tokenizer or inference wrapper uses the following structure:

<|im_start|>system
You are RunSLM, a concise, sovereign on-device assistant.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
What is the difference between CPU cache and main memory?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant

Stop Sequences

Configure your engine to break generation on:

  • <|im_end|>
  • <|endoftext|>

🎙️ Intended Mobile Workloads

  1. Air-Gapped Sovereign Chat: Real-time general reasoning, code generation, and instruction following with zero server communication.
  2. Dual-Persona AI Podcast Studio: Low-latency turn generation between dialectical Host and Expert personas with zero acoustic overlap.
  3. Local Workspace Synthesis: Drafting calendar events, parsing offline documents, and generating Markdown notes directly into mobile storage.
