What make this model so different?
This model is drastically different from grok (free tier), qwen3-14B , helcyon-mercury-v3.0, and slimaki-24B-v1.
With identical prompts all of those other would give a VERY similar story but this model was consistently different. Weather or not i liked it more varied but I am curious why this one is so drastically different.
Likely the components (especially mag mell) provide nuance not seen in other models. I had some prompts that only Mag Mell could handle properly, no 24B or 27B.
Or, it could be the custom FLUX method, which is meant to be an evolution of karcher. Although I'm not fully convinced it's better, it should capture a bit more 'variety' than standard slerp/karcher methods.
The good news is I have many more 12B experiments lined up over the weeks ahead
