Unity Sentis (com.unity.ai.inference 2.6.1) port of Cactus-Compute/needle3, a 121M-parameter on-device tool-calling model. It runs fp32 and unquantised, from the needle3.safetensors master weights (fp16 → fp32). It does not use the 2-bit needle3.cact that the vendor's C++ engine ships. Tools are a JSON array of schemas passed as toolsJson. There is no registration step: to add a tool, add an entry to the array. Each entry has a name, a description and a JSON Schema parameters object. This is the shape the cactus-needle Python package produces with @needle.tool. The tools are minified with json.dumps(separators=(",", ":")) rules and rendered into the prompt. Whitespace and indentation in your string don't matter. OpenAI-style {"type": "function", "function": {...}} entries are unwrapped, and triggers keys are dropped. Designing tools (from the vendor's guide, Designing tools for Needle): lockdoor / unlockdoor are separate tools, or one enum. Don't make the model infer polarity from the description. formats…

Compatibility and lineage
Language coverage was not reported.
Reported base models: Cactus-Compute/needle3
Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.
Use and evaluate
Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.
No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
