The clinician-grade foundation of the OpenDiabetic model ladder — the deep medical anchor the
home (9B) and edge (4B) tiers distill from.
Cooked by Swarm and Bee LLC on sovereign Blackwell compute, for the OpenDiabetic mission: give
people what they need, not what you have. Free, open, defendable.
Beat-base — proven, not asserted
Held-out perplexity on diabetic/medical text the model was never trained on (the only honest test of

Verdict: BEAT BASE ✅. A definitive domain-absorption signal — the model models diabetic/medical
language 57% better than its base. (Receipt: beat_base_result.json.)
How it was cooked
Base: Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B (Apache-2.0).
Data: the OpenDiabetic deeded corpus — clinician-grade diabetic & medical instruction data
(publicly donated at diabeticdatasets.com, PII-scrubbed + verified).
Recipe (gold standard): LoRA r32/α16 on attn+mlp (not the linear-attention state-mixers), LR 1e-5,
cosine, early-stopping as the overcook guard. Merged to bf16.
