experimental because trained on top of instruct; but turned out amazing; hence code named magnum-alter, the original model that kickstarted the v4 family

This model is fine-tuned on top of Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct.

Prompting

A typical input would look like this:

<|im_start|>system
system prompt<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Hi there!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Nice to meet you!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Can I ask a question?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
