📚 Anthology 31B
A Gemma-4-31B merge focused on creative storywriting.
📌 Overview
Anthology 31B is a creative writing model built via a geometric Model Stock merge of three specialized fine-tunes of gemma-4-31b-it.
Instead of traditional linear weight blending—which can dilute specific behavioral fine-tuning and result in generic text—the Model Stock technique maps the fine-tunes as vectors in a geometric space relative to the base model. This mathematical optimization preserves the distinct literary strengths of each component model rather than averaging them out.
🤝 Merged Models
Anthology combines three distinct creative voices to form a singular, cohesive writing instrument:
| Component Model | Primary Contribution |
|---|---|
| MRockatansky/Gemma-4-31B-storymaxxed2 | My own tune, which writes great stories from minimal prompting with a writing style close to stock gemma-4, for better or worse. |
| nbeerbower/Gemma4-Gutenberg-31B-Heretic | Imbues the output with a classic, novel-like prose structure, and a little dash of antiquated vocabulary from the old public domain fiction it was trained on. |
| llmfan46/gemma-4-Ortenzya-31B-it-uncensored-heretic | Chosen for its vocabulary choices and writing style. |
