TheDrummer: Cydonia 24B V4.1

Cydonia 24B V4.1 is a 24-billion-parameter language model built on the Mistral v7 Tekken architecture. It is designed primarily for sophisticated creative writing, interactive storytelling, and roleplay, with reported strengths in descriptive prose, mood, nuance, character consistency, and sustained narrative flow. The model is also described as balancing creativity with control, avoiding excessive verbosity, over-generation, and repetitive phrasing.

In reported benchmark work, the model achieved 0.6471 accuracy and 0.8449 normalized accuracy on Hellaswag, compared with 0.6396 and 0.8403 for the referenced Mistral 24B 3.2 baseline. The report describes these results as a marginal improvement within the margin of error, while suggesting the tuning objectives were met without losing the base model’s strength. The available evidence supports a practical fit for creative applications and longer sessions, with reported good performance at context lengths up to 16K.
