🌟 Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B -> Genesis Hermes
An experimental model processed through the Genesis algorithm at the request of people from China. APEX and APEX Compact quants for this one will be uploaded tomorrow.

⚡ Why Genesis project exists? During training, ALL models don't just learn knowledge - they also accumulate random noise in their tensors. This noise builds up and creates something I call the Noise Gate - a fundamental barrier that stops LLM models from learning further and makes them unstable, verbose, and prone to hallucinations. My approach reduces this noise. It repairs the signal without touching the learned knowledge and gradient. The result is a model that consistent in performance, context clarity and following instructions, because it's no longer fighting its own internal chaos.
What is Genesis? Genesis is post training data regeneration and calibrarion algorythm for neural networks (LLM) in GGUF format that I made with AI help during almost half a year of development. It's optimized, architecture independent, works with any model in GGUF format and based on mathematical statistics. I don't train or finetune models, I repair purity of signal in them instead on Google Collab Free on Tesla T4 GPU via Python based on how models learns information. On first stage I scan ssm_conv1d tensors in model, they handle long context memory. I repair balance between heads in them. On second stage I scan model and detect noise in tensors via custom SVD. During scanning I exclude token_embd.weight, output.weight, ffn_gate_inp_shexp.weight, 1D tensors, bias and norms. Then I reduce training noise in tensors via custom SVD with preserved training data, 99% of siginal and learned gradient. On third stage, I scan blocks in model via chunks via 3 parameters and pick best one that fits to weight distribution in tensor. Best picked chunk replaces zero chunks in broken tensor without touching learned structure in model
Model is based on Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-GGUF base.
And DJLougen/hermes-qwen3.5-35b-a3b-GGUF finetune for Hermes agent.
I transferred data from finetune on Hermes dataset (around 2k blocks from two FFN expert tensors) to Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-GGUF censored base.
LLM models often have:
- Saturated weights: the model's activations are stuck, gradients vanish, outputs degrade.
- Scale mismatches: one layer's weights are 10× larger than its peers for no good reason.
- Mean drift: weight distributions shifted positive or negative, breaking symmetry assumptions.
- Zero blocks: zero blocks corrupt the signal, turning training into noise amplification.
- Training Noise: training noise increase randomness and ruins model output quality.
My approach fixes all of that without retraining - pure numerical surgery on the raw bytes of the file.

For best model stability and first experience I recommend starting from this string in your System Prompt with enabled thinking and nothing else:
You are Qwen (Tongyi Qianwen), a large language model developed by Alibaba Group's Tongyi Lab.

Thinking mode (coding):
- Hermes agent:
temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.05, seed=42, presence_penalty=disabled, repeat_penalty=1.05 - Coding/precise tasks:
temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0, seed=42, presence_penalty=disabled, repeat_penalty=disabled - General:
