Aurorium Nexus

Post-trained models, RAG pipelines and agentic systems.

Applied AI engineer. Below is what I've built, why I built it, and where to find it.

  1. In progress

    Distillery

    What
    A sandbox-verified distillation autopilot on Nebius Token Factory: it trains a small model to take over a narrow job from a big one, behind an OpenAI-compatible gateway.
    Why
    Big models are overkill for narrow, repetitive jobs. I wanted a small specialist that takes over only once it is proven as good, and hands back anything it can't guarantee.
  2. Post-training Skills

    What
    A field guide and local deep agent for learning the major parts of LLM post-training.
    Why
    To map all of LLM post-training in one place, from data and SFT to preference methods, RL and evaluation, for myself and anyone else learning it.
  3. Aurorium Mind

    What
    A QLoRA-tuned Qwen 3.5 4B served with vLLM, Rust and FastAPI, with a Next.js workspace on top.
    Why
    To take a fine-tune past the notebook: train it, serve it on my own stack, and put a real product in front of it.
  4. Hackathon

    Canary Backend

    What
    The backend of a release gate that red-teams AI agents over HTTP and replays the attacks against a baseline, returning PASS, WARN or BLOCK. I contributed 25 commits.
    Why
    To turn red-teaming into a release gate, so a team gets a clear ship-or-block answer before an agent goes out.
  5. Agent Canary

    What
    A red-team workflow for testing HTTP AI agents and validating the mitigations.
    Why
    To attack AI agents for real: live targets, real responses and saved evidence, with no mocked results.
  6. AudioForge

    What
    A reproducible audio-ML training pipeline with LoRA adaptation and published artifacts.
    Why
    To compare audio models under one explicit pipeline instead of hiding the experiment inside a notebook.
  7. IncidentOps

    What
    A collector-first incident investigation system: engineering evidence in, cited and reviewable findings out.
    Why
    A repository alone can't explain an outage, and tools that guess at root causes are risky. I wanted answers that cite their evidence and say what is missing.
  8. LogSage

    What
    A QLoRA-trained model that turns application logs into structured diagnoses.
    Why
    To learn the full fine-tuning loop end to end: dataset design, QLoRA training on real AWS GPUs, observability and publishing.
