Model Info

Cu-Mai, a play on San-Mai for Copper-Steel Damascus, represents a significant evolution in the three-part model series alongside San-Mai (OG) and Mokume-Gane. While maintaining the grounded and reliable nature of San-Mai, Cu-Mai introduces its own distinct "flavor" in terms of prose and overall vibe. The model demonstrates strong adherence to prompts while offering a unique creative expression.

Technical Architecture

L3.3-Cu-Mai-R1-70b integrates specialized components through the SCE merge method:

• EVA and EURYALE foundations for creative expression and scene comprehension
• Cirrus and Hanami elements for enhanced reasoning capabilities
• Anubis components for detailed scene description
• Negative_LLAMA integration for balanced perspective and response

User Experience & Capabilities

Users consistently praise Cu-Mai for its:

• Exceptional prose quality and natural dialogue flow
• Strong adherence to prompts and creative expression
• Improved coherency and reduced repetition
• Performance on par with the original model

While some users note slightly reduced intelligence compared to the original, this trade-off is generally viewed as minimal and doesn't significantly impact the overall experience. The model's reasoning capabilities can be effectively activated through proper prompting techniques.

Model Series Context

Cu-Mai (Version A) is part of a three-model series:

• L3.3-San-Mai-R1-70b (OG model) - The original foundation
• L3.3-Cu-Mai-R1-70b (Version A) - Enhanced creative expression
• L3.3-Mokume-Gane-R1-70b (Version C) - Distinct variation with unique characteristics

Base Architecture

At its core, L3.3-Cu-Mai-R1-70b utilizes the entirely custom Hydroblated-R1 base model, specifically engineered for stability, enhanced reasoning, and performance. The SCE merge method, with settings finely tuned based on community feedback from evaluations of Experiment-Model-Ver-0.5, Experiment-Model-Ver-0.5.A, Experiment-Model-Ver-0.5.B, Experiment-Model-Ver-0.5.C, Experiment-Model-Ver-0.5.D, L3.3-Exp-Nevoria-R1-70b-v0.1 and L3.3-Exp-Nevoria-70b-v0.1, enables precise and effective component integration while maintaining model coherence and reliability.
