MN-12B-Mag-Mell inflatebot/MN-12B-Mag-Mell-R1 is a year old next week (Sept. 16)!
TL;DR: AMA in the comments!!

Over the last year, Mag Mell has enjoyed a consistent presence in the roleplay scene, with 100,000 downloads total on the full-precision weights, and likely more than that (although I don't control those repos so I can't see) on the quantized versions. (Not bad for a craft-produced merge spun up by someone who barely understood what a tensor was at the time...)

Since then, I've become a de-facto community manager for the

allura-org organization, a group who I'm immensely proud of for what we've achieved in the last year - a space built by and for queer, trans and gender-nonconforming members of the AI space across different use cases. (This has taken up basically all my mental bandwidth, which is the primary reason I haven't done more LLMs! That and Factorio. IYKYK.)

When I picked my name, I expected to burn it in a couple months' time, but instead it's become something of a rent-lowering bulwark, attracting the type of people we want and deflecting the ones we don't, and I've felt more comfortable being my whole weirdo self in the space as a result. While this hasn't resulted in much that I can share on Hugging Face, it's regardless been a very fun and fulfilling time.

If anybody reading is a fan of MM or anything else that I do or just have something funny to ask, feel free to leave any questions in the comments. I may reply directly, or I may collect them into a blog post on the 16th. We'll see how the next week goes for me.

Thank you so much for everything!

Pressure from far-right activist groups is inducing payment processors to crack down on adult content on mainstream platforms (where previously they were restricted in scope to adult platforms), starting first with Steam, now recently itch.io. We saw similar on Civit recently, except they were unlucky enough to have partnered with a payment processor who didn't care that they complied and pulled out anyway. A friend of mine recently lost all her income because of similar stuff (and the Itch move badly hurt other people in my circles.)

This is pretty far-removed from a lot of the people reading this, andI don't want to tell you how to feel about this happening, *but all the same, don't assume that Hugging Face is going to be safe because it's an "academic-coded" platform.* If you make things for mature audiences here, please make sure you have local backups of your data and models.

That's all I got. Be safe out there.

Alfitaria/Q25-1.5B-VeoLu
Q2.5-1.5-VeoLu is a 1.5 billion parameter General Purpose Creative model trained on Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct. Intended mostly as an educational process for myself, Veo Lu nevertheless manages to be usable most of the time, while also being light enough to potentially run on a smartphone.
