# Ticket: Select Family Agent Model (1050)

## Ticket Information

- **ID**: TICKET-020
- **Title**: Select Family Agent Model for 1050
- **Type**: Research
- **Priority**: High
- **Status**: Done
- **Track**: LLM Infra
- **Milestone**: Milestone 1 - Survey & Architecture
- **Created**: 2024-01-XX

## Description

Select the LLM model for family agent on 1050:
- Small, instruction-tuned model
- Latency-optimized for 24/7 operation
- Suitable for 4GB VRAM
- Good instruction-following

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] Family agent model selected: **Phi-3 Mini 3.8B Q4**
- [x] Quantization level chosen: **Q4 (4-bit)**
- [x] Rationale documented (see `docs/MODEL_SELECTION.md`)
- [x] Model file location specified
- [x] Latency characteristics documented

## Technical Details

Selection criteria:
- Small model size (1B-3B parameters)
- Instruction-tuned
- Low latency (< 1s response time)
- Function calling support
- Quantization: Q4 or Q5 for 4GB VRAM

## Dependencies

- TICKET-017 (model survey)
- TICKET-018 (capacity assessment)

## Related Files

- `docs/MODEL_SELECTION.md` (to be created)

## Notes

Optimized for always-on, low-latency family interactions. Separate from work agent.
