​
Overview

The Operator is Mako’s compact model, optimized for streaming responses and real-time interaction. It shares the same personality, tool suite, and agentic capabilities as the 32B Conductor, in a smaller package.
The 32B Conductor is now the default and recommended model for all use cases. The Operator is available for self-hosted deployments where lower resource usage is preferred.

​
Streaming events

When streaming, the Operator emits additional SSE events beyond standard content deltas:
  • tool_start — emitted when a tool begins execution
  • tool_trace — emitted when a tool completes, with the result
  • agent_text — intermediate model text during tool rounds
See Streaming for details on consuming these events.

​
Self-hosting

The Operator model weights are available on Hugging Face in GGUF format. Run it locally with Ollama or llama.cpp for development and testing. See Self-Host for setup instructions.
