Date evidence
The Apache-2.0 repository identifies curious-2b-261012 as the current 12 October 2026 release. On 13 October the publisher removed two model-card rows about identity and reading the phone, and clarified that unsupported-action and false-fact rates are lower-is-better; only README.md changed, while the selected 1,214,873,888-byte Q4_0 artifact remained byte-identical.

Published benchmark results

These scores were compiled from the linked sources. These published scores were not independently tested here. Different prompts, precision, thinking budgets and tools can change results.

CuriousLM · phone turns passed

86.1 / 100

Publisher-run held-out pass rate on 524 CuriousLM phone and calendar turns using the app's prompts and tool definitions. This is a project-specific release test, not a general agent benchmark.

Benchmark efficiency: 70.872 published score points per GB of selected weights. This ratio is not an inference-speed measure; check the test settings to see whether the score covers the selected quantization.

Test settings: The publisher compared Curious 2B 261012 with Qwen3.5 2B on 524 held-out phone and calendar turns under the same CuriousLM prompts and settings. Curious 2B passed 86.1% and the base model passed 62.6%.

Publisher-run, project-specific result; no independent reproduction or complete per-case protocol is supplied, and the card does not say that the selected Q4_0 artifact itself was benchmarked. The prompts and tool definitions are CuriousLM-specific. The same card reports lower general BFCL function-calling performance than the base model (54.8% versus 68.6%), so this result must not be generalized to arbitrary tools. The 13 October card revision removed identity and phone-reading rows that the catalog never used and clarified lower-is-better error metrics; the selected weights and this 524-turn result are unchanged. The 1,214,873,888-byte file excludes runtime, KV cache and context memory and does not establish device compatibility or speed. Apache-2.0 license.

Memory and comparison limits

Context and version evidence: The repository and file name identify the selected model. Revision hashes are shown above when recorded. Tested context length, full hardware configuration and run date are not consistently recorded in this snapshot. Only settings explicitly stated in each benchmark record are known.

The 1.215 GB figure covers model weights in this file. It excludes the context cache, runtime, operating system and any separate multimodal files. It is not a measured RAM requirement or a token-generation speed.

Use the model ranking chart to compare one test at a time. Use the 8, 16 and 32 GB memory guide. Check hardware memory and bandwidth before choosing a model.
