--- ## What is Organ Architecture? Organ Architecture treats neural networks like biological organisms — with organs (layers, heads, MLP blocks) that can be extracted, analyzed, transplanted, and recombined. ## Features - **Model inspection** — visualize layer shapes, attention patterns, weight distributions - **Selective extraction** — extract specific layers or attention heads as "organs" - **Cross-model transplant** — graft organs between compatible GGUF models - **Quantization surgery** — selectively re-quantize individual layers - **Architecture diff** — compare two model checkpoints layer-by-layer ## Quick Start ```bash git clone https://git.inference-x.com/inference-x/organ-architecture cd organ-architecture && make # Inspect a model ./organ inspect model.gguf # Extract attention layers 16-24 ./organ extract model.gguf --layers 16-24 --output head_block.gguf # Transplant into another model ./organ transplant donor.gguf recipient.gguf --source-layers 16-24 --target-layers 16-24 ``` ## Supported Operations | Operation | Description | |---|---| | `inspect` | Show model architecture, layer shapes, parameter count | | `extract` | Pull specific organs (layers, heads, MLPs) | | `transplant` | Merge organs from one model into another | | `diff` | Compare two models layer by layer | | `requant` | Re-quantize selected layers | | `prune` | Remove layers to create smaller variants | --- *Part of the [Inference-X ecosystem](https://inference-x.com) · See also: [organ-store](https://git.inference-x.com/inference-x-community/organ-store), [organ-architect](https://git.inference-x.com/inference-x-community/organ-architect)*
