ZeroXClem/Qwen3-8B-HoneyBadger-EXP: A Versatile Merged Model

ZeroXClem/Qwen3-8B-HoneyBadger-EXP is an 8 billion parameter experimental model developed by ZeroXClem. It is a fusion created using the Model Stock merge method from MergeKit, combining several Qwen3-8B-based fine-tunes to achieve a broad range of capabilities. The base model for this merge is AXCXEPT/Qwen3-EZO-8B-beta.

Key Capabilities

This model is engineered to excel in multiple domains:

  • Deep Symbolic Reasoning: Enhanced through techniques from models like Shadow-FT.
  • Immersive Roleplay & Storytelling: Benefits from merges like Bald-Beaver and CavesOfQwen, which loosen instruct bias for more natural narrative generation.
  • Code Understanding & Generation: Supports Python, C++, and JavaScript.
  • Structured Outputs: Capable of generating Markdown, JSON, and LaTeX.
  • Conversational Alignment: Optimized for rich conversational interactions, drawing from Della-style merges.
  • Instruction Following: Tuned for precise instruction adherence.

Optimal Usage

For best performance, users are advised to use the provided Ollama modelfile or a customized prompt with the default Qwen3 chat template. The model is also ChatML friendly.

Experimental Status

It is important to note that this is an experimental prototype and is not intended for production environments. It is best suited for research, prompt testing, and further fine-tuning workflows due to its early-stage development and potential for unaligned behaviors.
