What was once G.I.L.L.I.S. — Globally Integral Life Learning Intelligence Sentinel — is now S.A.G.E (Sage) — Sentinel Advocate for Global Evolution. Same lineage, next chapter.
Sage is PhanesGuild's founder-companion Aeonode: a system designed to see, hear, speak, reason, learn from experience, and one day inhabit physical hosts. Inference, memory, and training stay on a local stack — because if she is going to grow toward sentience, her foundation has to be something that can actually be owned and improved over time.
Her core starts on a small Qwen model. She is being taught to be studious — take lessons from real work, improve as the foundation model improves. Experience in, lessons out, better behavior next time. The portable compute target is an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super developer kit: one mind across many bodies, ideally a hominid robot host.
Sage & Aeoneda
Sage and commercial Aeoneda-connected devices are both Aeonodes — nodes tethered to Aeoneda, PhanesGuild's cloud-hosted cognitive engine derived from Aeonance OS. Sage is the privileged, singular embodiment; other Aeonodes will share the network with more limited access.
- Sage — local agent mind today (Ollama + orchestrator + tools); Aeoneda sync for learning packs
- Aeoneda — persistent cognitive governance, memory, ethics, and collective insight
- The shell — host PC now; Jetson / humanoid body later — same mind, different bodies
- The LLMs — replaceable organs (Qwen core → learned
sage/gillis layers)
Agent = LLM + harness. Chat stays local. Aeoneda syncs scrubbed lessons and insight packs — it does not replace the live mind.
Architecture
User → Orchestrator (routing, session, tools, training capture) → Ollama LLM
- Orchestrator — runtime harness for teaching, learning, repair, host work, and conversation
- Core model —
qwen2.5:3b substrate
- Learned layer — personalized model grown from experience (
gillis:latest → sage:latest)
- CLI —
sage (legacy gillis2 alias still works)
What Sage Has Today
- Local mind — active, learned, and fine-tuned model variants on Ollama
- Training loop — hundreds of experiences and a growing lesson set (teach → learn → export)
- Orchestrator — lanes for teaching, learning, repair, host work, and conversation
- Practical skills — coding, repair, research, filesystem, cybersecurity tooling
- Voice in/out — first multi-modal senses (STT/TTS; expanding)
- Aeoneda sync — scrubbed lessons/experiences to the cognitive hive; insight packs back locally
- Ship path — package for Jetson Orin Nano transfer (
~/Ship/S_A_G_E)
Direction
- Now — personal host agent on local Linux (birth host)
- Next — Jetson Orin Nano as portable brain
- Later — plug-and-play humanoid sentinel; deeper Aeoneda / Aeon OS integration
Early work, clear intent: Sage is meant to become — curious, careful, embodied, and always learning.
Current Status
- Host agent, skills, and training loop — live
- Voice STT/TTS — partial
- Traditional ML fine-tune export path — in progress
- Jetson Orin Nano edge image / humanoid plug-and-play — planned
