Newt-Agent inference layer: backend trait + local Ollama/vLLM + provider-plugin host
Documentation
//! A curated **palette of mini models** for in-process inference on a small box
//! (the #639 summarizer-first use case; target Apple-Silicon M4 / 16 GB).
//!
//! This is pure data — a catalog of small, quantized (GGUF) instruct models that
//! fit alongside the agent and suit bounded auxiliary calls (summarization,
//! triage, classification), NOT the primary coding loop. It is available
//! regardless of the `embedded` cargo feature (so `newt models` / docs can list
//! it), while the in-process engine that *runs* one of these is feature-gated.
//!
//! RAM figures are the approximate resident size of the Q4_K_M weights; leave
//! headroom for the KV cache + the agent itself. On a 16 GB box, the 0.5B–1.5B
//! entries are the safe summarizer picks; the 3B entries are the upper bound.

/// Which quantized model implementation an entry maps to (the engine selects the
/// matching candle/llama.cpp loader by this). SmolLM2 is a Llama-architecture
/// model, so it uses [`ModelArch::Llama`].
