Overview
Model Overview
L3.3-Damascus-R1 is a 70 billion parameter language model developed by Steelskull, utilizing a custom DeepSeek R1 Distill base named Hydroblated-R1-V3. It employs the novel SCE (Select, Calculate, and Erase) merge method to ensure stability, intelligence, and enhanced awareness. The model integrates specialized components from several high-performance models, including:
- EVA-LLaMA-3.33 for core capabilities and creative expression.
- Euryale-v2.3 and Cirrus-x1 for enhanced reasoning.
- Anubis-v1 for detailed scene description.
- Negative_LLAMA for reduced bias and balanced responses.
Key Capabilities
- Enhanced Reasoning: Integrates elements from Euryale and Cirrus for improved logical coherence.
- Creative Expression: Leverages EVA foundations for strong creative writing and scene comprehension.
- Detailed Generation: Incorporates Anubis components for rich and descriptive outputs.
- Balanced Perspective: Includes Negative_LLAMA to mitigate bias and promote balanced responses.
- Stability and Coherence: Built with a custom base and SCE merge method, focusing on reliable performance.
Good for
- General Use: Designed for a broad range of applications.
- Roleplay and Story Generation: Specifically optimized for creative writing tasks, including roleplay and detailed narrative creation.
- Natural Conversation Flow: Aims to provide intelligent and engaging interactions while maintaining a natural conversational style.
