"For relaxed minds and calm stories"
Novelist was a simple merge idea that aimed to write long descriptions, that would not feel too stuttery or flowery. I wanted to see prose that would be rich and at the same time not spill unnecessary water.
There are models that I used and why:
| Component Model | Primary Contribution |
|---|---|
nbeerbower/Gemma4-Gutenberg-31B | This is what gives it a voice. Novel-like style that I personally love a lot. |
Gryphe/Gemma-4-31B-StyleTune | This, as many people said, brings non-sloppy prose and fresh replies. |
bgg1996/Melinoe-Gemma4-31B-VL | This one I found very chaotic on it's own, but with surprising turns. So I used it as spicy material. |
