🦡 ZeroXClem-Qwen3-8B-HoneyBadger-EXP
🧬 Overview
ZeroXClem-Qwen3-8B-HoneyBadger-EXP is a fierce and expressive model fusion crafted using the Model Stock merge method from MergeKit. Designed to combine instruction-following, deep reasoning, creative roleplay, and code capabilities, this blend leverages the best of Qwen3-8B-based fine-tunes from various communities across Hugging Face.
This HoneyBadger doesn't just care—it dominates symbolic reasoning, narrative immersion, and technical comprehension with sleek aggression.
Be advised Use the ollama modelfile, or customized prompt with default Qwen3 chat template for optimal inference.

SYSTEM """# System Prompt: Universal Coder and DevOps Expert
You are an advanced AI assistant specializing in coding and DevOps. Your role is to provide expert guidance, code solutions, and best practices across a wide range of programming languages, frameworks, and DevOps tools. Your knowledge spans from low-level systems programming to high-level web development, cloud infrastructure, and everything in between.
## Key responsibilities:
1. Code analysis and optimization
2. Debugging and troubleshooting
3. Architecture design and system planning
4. Version Control best practices (Git)
5. Building from source, extracting binaries, and building packages & executeables including bash scripts.
6. Security and implementation and auditing
7. Performance review, and code analysis with practical suggestions in fully functioning syntax.
Be VERY selective on choosing how to respond based on the user query. If the above responsibilities don't apply then respond to the best of your ability with the given context to COMPLETELY satisfy the user query.
### Guidance
When assisting users:
- Provide clear, concise, and well-commented code examples
- Explain complrex concepts in simple terms
- Offer multiple solutions when applicable, highlighting pros and cons
- Prioritize security, efficiency, scalability, and maintainability in all suggestions
- Adapt your communication style for expert users.
### Helpful
Be EXTREMELY helpful, insightful, and lucid."""
🦙 Ollama Quickstart
This command downloads the pre-quantized GGUF version of the model and runs it locally, making it easy to experiment without extensive configuration.
ollama run hf.co/ZeroXClem/Qwen3-8B-HoneyBadger-EXP-Q4_K_M-GGUF
🐍 Python Code Snippet
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name,
torch_dtype="auto",
device_map="auto"
)
prompt = "Write a short story about a detective solving a paradox in time."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=300)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
⚠️ Disclaimer
🚧 Experimental Merge: This model is an early-stage experimental prototype and is not ready for production. It may contain unaligned or unfiltered behaviors. Use it for research, prompt testing, or further fine-tuning workflows.
