Model Creation Process
L3.3-Dark-Ages-70b is the result of a multi-stage merging process conducted by Crucible Lab, a collaboration between Steelskull and Tarek. The goal was to create a powerful and creative roleplaying model with a unique, dark fantasy flavor.
Stage 1: The Cognitive Foundation
The process began by creating a cognitive and tool-use focused base model, Cogmo-70b. This was achieved through a `model_stock` merge of several models known for their reasoning and instruction-following capabilities, built upon a `Nemotron-lorablated` base.
Stage 2: Weaving the Narrative
Two distinct models were then created from the Cogmo base. Dark-Prose-70b was merged using `SCE` to enhance its creative writing and prose style, incorporating models like ArliAI's RPMax and Anubis. Simultaneously, Negative-RP-70b was created using a `della_linear` merge to integrate various roleplaying and narrative models, including Wayfarer and Vulpecula, while using Negative_LLAMA to maintain balance.
Final Stage: The Dark Ages
The final model, Dark-Ages-70b, was created by merging Dark-Prose and Negative-RP using the `nuslerp` method. This final step combines the rich, creative prose with the strong, negative-prompt-influenced roleplaying capabilities.
