Hopefully, it's better. A writing & roleplay finetune of Qwen3.5 27B. The primary emphasis is on writing quality as it strongly generalizes across both domains. The basic idea is to use a curriculum learning setup to overcome the lack of high quality roleplay data by first training on lower quality roleplay data, then training on higher quality writing data. Starting from ConicCat/Qwen3.5-Antirep-27B, the model was trained on a roughly equal mixture of instruct / roleplay / writing data for three epochs. The model was then trained for eleven epochs on a smaller dataset of book chunks. ### Recommended Settings * Chatml template with `\n\n\n` prefill or `\n` prefill. Should think less! * temperature = `0.7` * top_p = `0.95` * A moderate dry penalty of ~ `0.4-0.8` should work well. * For quants, Q4_K_M runs well with `~100k` context on 24GB Vram * IQ4_XS should fit on 16GB Vram with about `20-24k` context with the vulkan backend, although it's pretty tight and may require some fiddling around with open programs e.t.c. ### Datasets * ConicCat/AntiRep to mitigate repetitition. * internlm/Condor-SFT-20K for instruct; even though instruct capabilities are not the primary focus, adding some instruct data helps mitigate forgetting and maintains general intellect and instruction following capabilites. * ConicCat/Gutenberg-SFT. A reformatted version of the original Gutenberg DPO dataset by jondurbin for SFT with some slight augmentation to address many of the samples being overly long. * ConicCat/MiniC2_V3.2. The venerable C2, with cleaned and reformatted system prompts, and all user / assistant turns replaced by V3.2. * A dataset of backtranslated books. Unfortunately, I am unable to release this set as all of the data is under copyright.
