# Kev-4B by ggml-org

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Makes decisions through the /v1/systemone API of a llama server, from a GGUF copy of a 4.2B model. For developers who want a small local decision model.

Kev-4B by ggml-org is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by ggml-org

## About

### What it is

Kev-4B is a GGUF copy of a 4.2B text classification model, made by ggml-org. The card calls it a decision model, used through the /v1/systemone API. It was converted automatically from jaredpalmer/kev-4b, which builds on Qwen3.5-4B-Base.

### Who it suits

It suits developers who want a small local model that makes a decision, rather than writing free text. The card gives few other details.

Who runs it

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Software | Developers | Call a local decision model through the systemone API | A routing step in an app |
| Research | Researchers testing llama tooling | Try a decision model served locally | Check how the endpoint behaves |
| IT | Teams keeping data in-house | Run a classifier on their own hardware | An internal triage helper |

If you need a chat model that writes long answers, you can skip it.

### Where to use it

- The Llama app
- The llama command in a terminal on Windows, macOS or Linux
- Python on the same machines, for downloading the files by hand

Jobs it does

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Decisions through the API | Developers | A result from the /v1/systemone endpoint |
| Text classification | Researchers | A label for a piece of text |

### How to set it up

- The Llama app or the llama command
- Python, only if you download the files by hand

1. Install the Llama app or the llama command.
2. Run the serve command below. It fetches the model by its Hugging Face name.
3. Optionally download the files by hand with the Hugging Face tools.

```bash
llama serve -hf ggml-org/Kev-4B-GGUF
```

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download ggml-org/Kev-4B-GGUF
```

### How to use it

Start the server with the serve command, then call it through the /v1/systemone API, which the card names as the way to use this model. The card gives no request format, so check the llama tools.

```bash
llama serve -hf ggml-org/Kev-4B-GGUF
```

### Example

You start the server with the serve command and send a request to the /v1/systemone endpoint. The card shows no sample request or reply, so the shape of the answer comes from the llama tools you use.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new, a decision model picks an answer from a set of options instead of writing a paragraph. The first small thing to try is the serve command above.

If you know the field, this is a 4.2B model that is about 2.1 GB at 4-bit by Hugging Face's estimate, with Qwen3.5-4B-Base as an upstream source. The card gives no benchmark, label set or request schema, so treat it as a converted checkpoint and test it yourself.

Run llama serve with the model name → Files come from Hugging Face → The server starts on your machine → Call the /v1/systemone endpoint

### Good to know

- Conversion: an automatic tool from ggml-org made this copy from the source model.
- Sources: jaredpalmer/kev-4b and Qwen3.5-4B-Base.
- Detail: the card has no scores or usage notes beyond the endpoint name.
- License: apache-2.0.
- Cost to run: no API key, account or paid service is named.
- Data it reaches: you download the model from Hugging Face, and the card names no other access.
