Qwen3.5 27B

01 Overview

An experimental tune on Qwen 3.5 27B.

Designed for conversational assistant tasks and RP.

Model feels pretty creative and has some nice moments. Couple brainfarts and bits of repetition occasionally, but nothing out of the normal. (The qwen team themselves recommend a presence penalty of 1.5. Yikes)

Non thinking and thinking are both supported. Thinking has reduced censorship as the original thinking refusals didn't seem to generalize well to the new format I gave it.

04 Creation Process

Creation Process: SFT

SFT on approx 23 million tokens (12 million trainable). New is some Gemini Synth data which replaces some of my lower quality datasets.

About 10% of the dataset included reasoning for creative assistant tasks. This reasoning seems to have generalized quite well to other parts of the model and heavily reduces the token usage of thinking.

I think this model still needs a pass over with DPO to try and tackle the repetition and some of the weird oddities of the original instruct model, but that'll need to wait. I've been overspending training these models recently.

Trained using MS-Swift.
