Purpose
What the pack is best for. Guidance, not a guarantee.
Open-source models
Flywheel's default path is local open-source weights. A model that does not fit this machine stays download-only. A name in the catalog is not a live bind.

Hub and spoke
Scan the machine. Fit the catalog. Nominate a spoke. Bind or refuse. Route the smallest path.

Size
Weight class on the card. Bigger is not automatically better.
Quantization
How the weights are stored. Q4 is not a quality score.
Hardware fit
Does this machine have RAM, disk, and headroom to run it.
License
Declared license label. Not legal advice.
Speed
Local sample or estimate. Not a published benchmark.
Roles
Pack roles the hub may assign. Missing fields stay unknown.
How the hub selects
The hub-and-spoke graph uses documented routing modes, then fit, then occupancy. First refuse wins.
RAM, disk, CPU topology, and installed weights. Accelerators stay unavailable in the primary scan unless measured.
Each model gets a selection card: purpose, size, quant, fit, license, speed, roles. A model that does not fit stays download-only.
The hub names a model, a tool, a lobe, or a complementary socket. Nomination is not a live bind.
Live-bound only when a runtime attachment exists. Otherwise unavailable. The hub will refuse rather than fake occupancy.
Open-source weights first. Adapters attach to a compatible base. Neuromorphic sockets stay complementary until bound.
Routing modes
These are documented hub modes. They are not a public SLA and not a fourth occupancy lamp.

How it connects
