	<b>Horus Hiero 4B Mini</b> is an advanced language model developed by <b>TokenAI</b>, an Egyptian AI startup founded by Assem Sabry. The model specializes in understanding and translating ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs into various modern human languages. In addition, it is highly multilingual and masters <b>150 Languages + Hieroglyphic</b>. To ensure accessibility and efficient deployment across different hardware setups, the model is also available in multiple GGUF variants.
	</p>

	## Model Overview
	Horus Hiero 4B Mini is a 4-billion parameter language model built on top of the robust [Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B) architecture (or its GGUF equivalent). It is designed to handle extremely long contexts and leverages a sophisticated hybrid attention mechanism to deliver high performance and efficiency.

	## Quick Start
	Using NeuralNode (Recommended)
	The easiest way to use Horus models is with the NeuralNode framework:

	```python
	import neuralnode as nn

	# For GGUF models (recommended):
	MODEL_ID = "tokenaii/Horus-Hiero-Mini-4B-GGUF/Horus-Hiero-Mini-4B-Q6_K.gguf"
	DEVICE = "cpu" # Change to "cuda" for GPU acceleration

	# Download and load
	model = nn.HorusModel(MODEL_ID, device=DEVICE).load()

	# Use immediately
	response = model.chat([
	{"role": "user", "content": "Translate this hieroglyph: 𓂋𓏏𓈖𓀀"}
	])
	print(response.content)
	```

	## About TokenAI & The Horus Family
	TokenAI is a non-profit AI startup founded in 2025 by Assem Sabry, located in Alexandria, Egypt.

	The Horus family is our line of advanced language models. The series began with Horus 1.0 4B, which achieved remarkable success as the very first language model to be fully trained from scratch in Egypt. Building on that foundation, Horus Hiero brings specialized capabilities in ancient languages while retaining powerful modern multilingual performance.
