A creative writing model based on Gemma 3 27B. 

[Columbidae/gemma-3-27b-half](https://huggingface.co/Columbidae/gemma-3-27b-half), a 50/50 merge of 27B IT and 27B PT, was used as the base model. (This was done because of the success of [Starshine](https://huggingface.co/ToastyPigeon/Gemma-3-Starshine-12B), a 50/50 IT and PT merge.)

The inclusion of PT model does weaken the instruct, but it also weakens the censorship/hesitancy to participate in certain fictional stories. The prose also becomes more natural with less of the IT model included. 

**This model does better with short and to-the-point prompts. Long, detailed system prompts will often confuse it.** (Tested with 1000-2000 token system prompts to lackluster results compared to 100-500 token prompts).

## Instruct Format

Uses Gemma2/3 instruct and context. Like Glitter 12b, this works well with `temp = 1, top-nsigma = 1.5`.
