What is this?

This is an abliterated (heretic) DELLA merge of the following finetuned & post-trained models:

Model Repo Ratio Purpose
Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (base) The base model, used for calculating task vectors.
Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev 0.58 Contributes strong token-efficient coding & bugfixing
InternScience/Sage-A1.5 0.30 Contributes strong instruction following (Sage has 81.6 on IFBench!), as well as agent orchestration, bugfixing, verification, planning
ornith-ai/Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B 0.12 Contributes self-scaffolding, planning, coding

The result is an abliterated hybrid model for coding, bugfixing, agent work, planning, designing, conversation, data-driven RP, game logic/procgen. The model plans out its steps before acting, and it verifies & fixes its work after it drafts a solution.

V1.1: Compared to the first version, V1.1 was created with adjusted ratios and parameters. Sage seems to overpower KAT-Coder a bit too much so I biased the merge further towards KAT-Coder, but I also raised Ornith's ratio slightly. I also raised density slightly to 0.7, and epsilon raised to 0.1, except for protected routing and attention tensors, which remain at 1.0 & 0.0 respectively. Finally, I raised lambda to 1.05 to slightly boost the task vectors and counteract "flattening". The model should overthink less, make fewer mistakes, and show somewhat lower perplexity (llama-perplexity reported an average of 2.3539 +/- 0.03358 PPL running the BF16 model on my evaluation set of held-out wikitext, code, documents, and reasoning traces).

In a proper environment, this model can be extremely persistent in achieving the task given to it; ensure proper sandboxing before agentic use.


Quantization

Weights are provided quantized with APEX, which generates mixed-precision quantization configurations for MoE models. The imatrix is calibrated mostly on a mixture of English wikitext, documents, code, and tokens generated during real long-context agentic coding sessions with KAT-Coder, Ornith-1.5, and the model itself (control tokens such as <|im_start|> included). The configs used to quantize these models were modified by hand based on my own research as well as trial-and-error, with care taken to protect the outer layers and sensitive tensors, even if APEX doesn't normally protect them.

I-Quality (~23 GB)

This is a custom configuration based on I-Quality but with sensitive tensors bumped up to BF16/Q8_0/Q6_K and the routed experts in middle layers stored at IQ3_S through Q6_K. Optimized for partial CPU offload and high quality long-context work.

KL divergence & same-top% vs BF16 baseline, as measured by llama-perplexity on a mixture of wikitext, code, markdown & xml documents, and reasoning traces, all held out from calibration:

I-Medium (~20 GB)

This is a custom configuration that is somewhere between I-Compact and I-Quality. Sensitive tensors bumped up to BF16/Q8_0/Q6_K, and routed experts are stored at IQ3_XXS through IQ4_NL in the middle layers. Optimized for partial CPU offload, and medium quality long-context work.
