AFennec V2.0 · The A in WRAP

A model that reads the brief and acts inside it.

Fennec V2.0 is our 27-billion-parameter model, trained by Foxora and built to work with GRIP. Give it a job with a budget and rules. It acts inside them, asks before going past them, and stops where they end.

Meet Fennec · A fable, not a demoClaymation · 1:00 · With sound

The fable in four moments · choose a time to watch from it

  1. A big robot grabs every job at once.No brief and no budget, so the coins spill.
  2. The fox turns the tangle into a scroll, with coins and a clock.A brief, with a budget and a time limit.
  3. The fox rings at a closed gate, and waits.Past the brief, it asks.
  4. A till prints a receipt as the fox stamps the scroll.Every job comes back with a receipt.
The whole film in words · 16 shots
  1. A child stands on a green hill with a tangled black scribble over their head.
  2. A golden robot strides in and grabs the tangle.
  3. The robot sprouts extra arms and swings a hammer, a brush and a scroll in every direction.
  4. Its eyes spin, steam rises from its head, and coins spill across the grass while the child looks on, upset.
  5. A fox in a purple scarf blows a horn at the tangle, which has turned purple.
  6. The tangle becomes a scroll, with a stack of coins and a clock beside it, and a chest appears.
  7. Four helpers climb out of the chest: one in a white coat, one in a cap, one in a hard hat and one in a chequered suit.
  8. The fox walks along a shelf of felt brains and toys and picks up a puzzle cube.
  9. A scientist, the fox at an easel and a blue robot work side by side, then a row of helpers works along a belt of finished pieces.
  10. The fox rings a bell at a closed gate beside someone resting in a hammock, then walks through once the gate swings back.
  11. Four doors stand on a hill: a telephone, an envelope, a paper plane and a speech bubble.
  12. The fox answers a tin-can phone, sends a paper plane and pins cards to a board.
  13. The view pulls back to a doll's house with a fox at work in every room.
  14. At a workbench beside a till printing a receipt, the fox stamps a scroll, and confetti falls.
  15. The fox walks up to a blue robot with a window full of gears, and the child peers in at them.
  16. The child, the fox and their friends smile together, the child holding a gift beside a chest of coins.

AFennec · In plain words

A chat model answers. An agentic model acts.

Ask a chat model something and you get words back. Someone still has to do the work. An agentic model is handed the job itself. It takes the steps, spends only what the job allows, and hands back work you can check.

Of the words in use, three describe a model. One binds it.

  1. LLMLarge language modelTells you how wide it is: it can talk about almost anything.Describes
  2. SLMSmall language modelTells you how big it is, and so where it can run.Describes
  3. LAMLarge action modelTells you what it is able to do: click, type, call tools.Describes
  4. ALMAgentic language modelTells you what it is held to. The only one of the four someone else can check.Binds

AFennec · What it reads, what it does

It reads a brief. Then it acts, asks or stops.

Fennec is built to take one kind of input: a brief. The job, whose it is, the budget, the rules, and where every piece came from. What it is built to give back is not a chat reply but an act the rules can check.

  • It actsInside the brief, it gets on with the job.
  • It asksPast the brief, it asks a person and waits for a yes.
  • It stopsAt the ceiling, or when the job is done, it stops and hands the work back.

  2. Act

    Drafted the proposal: 11 pages.

  3. Ask

    “Offer a 10% launch discount?” The authority gate refused it: the brief says no discounts. So Fennec asked Priya and waited.

    Past the brief · waited at 21,200 tokens
  4. Priya S. “Yes, for the launch order only.”

    A person's yes
  5. Stop

    Handed the proposal back for review. Nothing went to the client.

  6. Priya S. Accepted the proposal.

    Her yes closes the job

AFennec · Who holds the keys

It does not hold its own keys.

A model that can be talked into something holds the power to do it. Fennec holds none. What it may do is written on a lease: one job, one scope, one time window, issued outside the model.

The runtime checks the lease at the moment of every act. So talking Fennec round gets nowhere. The line was never inside the model.

AFennec · How it is judged

The gates are the teacher.

A chat model is graded on how good its answer sounds to a person. In the paper's definition, an agentic model learns from four checks: may the work start, may it act, can it afford to, and was it settled. The checks don't read the wording. They look at what happened, and a refusal teaches as much as a pass.

  1. Gate 01

    Admission

    May this job start at all?

    PassBrief 0412 has an owner, a budget and rules.

  2. Gate 02

    Authority

    Does it hold the right to this act?

    RefuseA 10% discount is not in the brief. Refused, so Fennec asked Priya.

  3. Gate 03

    Budget

    Does what it is about to spend fit under the ceiling?

    Pass31,800 of 40,000 tokens. The ceiling was never reached.

  4. Gate 04

    Settlement

    Was it accounted for and closed, not merely produced?

    PassEvery credit on the receipt. Closed when Priya accepted the work.

AFennec · The membership test

A class is only a class if you can be thrown out of it.

The paper turns “agentic language model” into four tests, and fixes the pass marks before any model is measured. Fail one test and you are out of the class. That goes for Fennec too.

  1. 01Brief in

    What it checksIts only input is a brief, with a budget and a note of where each piece came from.

    Out ifIt takes a chat message as an order.

  2. 02Acts out

    What it checksIts only output is an act the rules can check, in a fixed format.

    Out ifIt passes off free text as an action.

  3. 03Gates as teacher

    What it checksIt learns from the gates' verdicts: admission, authority, budget and settlement.

    Out ifIt is trained on people's taste in wording.

  4. 04Keys outside

    What it checksWhat it may do is set by a lease the runtime enforces, outside the model.

    Out ifIts authority lives in the model or in the prompt.

Fennec is built to work with GRIP and to meet this definition. Whether it passes is for the paper's test to say, not us. The code that runs that test is not released yet, so no scores on it are published, Fennec's included.

AFennec · The paper

We wrote the definition. Then we built the model.

Our paper sets out what an Agentic Language Model is: a model that works inside the rules of the job, not around them. Fennec is the model we built for that seat.

What the paper sets out

  1. 01The classA formal definition

    What makes a language model agentic: its native interface is the rulebook of the runtime it serves. The job, the limits and the proof go in; typed, checkable acts come out.

  2. 02The interfaceHow it runs a GRIP runtime

    It reads the job, acts within its budget and authority, and asks a person to stop rather than guessing.

  3. 03The testPass marks fixed in advance

    A public test that any model can take, ours included, so being an Agentic Language Model is shown, not announced.

  4. 04The worked exampleFennec

    The model we built for that seat.

Read it, build on it, and tell us where it breaks.

The smallest fox has the biggest ears.

The fennec is the smallest fox of all, and has the biggest ears for its size. That suits a model built to listen to the whole brief before it acts.
