This repo contains the full precision source code, in "safe tensors" format to generate GGUFs, GPTQ, EXL2, AWQ, HQQ and other formats. The source code can also be used directly.
This model contains - "ValiantLabs/Qwen3-1.7B-ShiningValiant3" FUSED with "Menlo/Lucy-128k" (instruct models):
Fused formula by DavidAU, which co-joins the models in 4 blocks, in a roughly 75%/75% merge resulting in a model of 42 layers, 464 tensors creating a 2.4B model from the TWO 1.7B models.
This method takes the best of both models without compromise or "averaging" / "cancelling out" parts of either model, increasing model net performance and retaining model knowledge.
The 2.4B model is also a reasoning model, with a lot shorter "reasoning" blocks - part of the FUSED merge effect.
"Mix2" favors "Lucy" model in final token generation steps and will result in strongly different generation than "Qwen3-Shining-Lucy-CODER-2.4B" (Mix1).
Settings information on the 2.4B fused model below, followed by info from each model (model card) and then a complete help section for running LLM / AI models.

Settings used for testing (suggested):
BEST settings for coding:
FOR CODING:
Higher temps: .6 to .9 (even over 1) work better for more complex coding / especially with more restrictions.
This model will respond well to both detailed instructions and step by step refinement and additions to code.
As this is an instruct model, it will also benefit from a detailed system prompt too.
For simpler coding problems, lower quants will work well; but for complex/multi-step problem solving suggest Q6 or Q8.

Shining Valiant 3: Qwen3-1.7B, Qwen3-8B
Shining Valiant 3 is a science, AI design, and general reasoning specialist built on Qwen 3.
Shining Valiant 3 uses the Qwen 3 prompt format.
Shining Valiant 3 is a reasoning finetune; we recommend enable_thinking=True for all chats.
Example inference script to get started:
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_name = "ValiantLabs/Qwen3-1.7B-ShiningValiant3"
# load the tokenizer and the model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name,
torch_dtype="auto",
device_map="auto"
)
# prepare the model input
prompt = "Propose a novel cognitive architecture where the primary memory component is a Graph Neural Network (GNN). How would this GNN represent working, declarative, and procedural memory? How would the \"cognitive cycle\" be implemented as operations on this graph?"
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
tokenize=False,
add_generation_prompt=True,
enable_thinking=True # Switches between thinking and non-thinking modes. Default is True.
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
# conduct text completion
generated_ids = model.generate(
**model_inputs,
max_new_tokens=32768
)
output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):].tolist()
# parsing thinking content
try:
# rindex finding 151668 (</think>)
index = len(output_ids) - output_ids[::-1].index(151668)
except ValueError:
index = 0
thinking_content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids[:index], skip_special_tokens=True).strip("\n")
content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids[index:], skip_special_tokens=True).strip("\n")
print("thinking content:", thinking_content)
print("content:", content)
Shining Valiant 3 is created by Valiant Labs.

Model #2 - Lucy 128k (1.7B)
Authors: Alan Dao, Bach Vu Dinh, Alex Nguyen, Norapat Buppodom
Lucy is a compact but capable 1.7B model focused on agentic web search and lightweight browsing. Built on Qwen3-1.7B, Lucy inherits deep research capabilities from larger models while being optimized to run efficiently on mobile devices, even with CPU-only configurations.
We achieved this through machine-generated task vectors that optimize thinking processes, smooth reward functions across multiple categories, and pure reinforcement learning without any supervised fine-tuning.
Following the same MCP benchmark methodology used for Jan-Nano and Jan-Nano-128k, Lucy demonstrates impressive performance despite being only a 1.7B model, achieving higher accuracy than DeepSeek-v3 on SimpleQA.
Lucy can be deployed using various methods including vLLM, llama.cpp, or through local applications like Jan, LMStudio, and other compatible inference engines. The model supports integration with search APIs and web browsing tools through the MCP.
Deploy using VLLM:
vllm serve Menlo/Lucy-128k \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 1234 \
--enable-auto-tool-choice \
--tool-call-parser hermes \
--rope-scaling '{"rope_type":"yarn","factor":3.2,"original_max_position_embeddings":40960}' --max-model-len 131072
Or llama-server from llama.cpp:
llama-server ... --rope-scaling yarn --rope-scale 3.2 --yarn-orig-ctx 40960
Temperature: 0.7
Top-p: 0.9
Top-k: 20
Min-p: 0.0

Settings: CHAT / ROLEPLAY and/or SMOOTHER operation of this model:
In "KoboldCpp" or "oobabooga/text-generation-webui" or "Silly Tavern" ;
Set the "Smoothing_factor" to 1.5
: in KoboldCpp -> Settings->Samplers->Advanced-> "Smooth_F"
: in text-generation-webui -> parameters -> lower right.
: In Silly Tavern this is called: "Smoothing"
NOTE: For "text-generation-webui"
-> if using GGUFs you need to use "llama_HF" (which involves downloading some config files from the SOURCE version of this model)
Source versions (and config files) of my models are here:
OTHER OPTIONS:
Increase rep pen to 1.1 to 1.15 (you don't need to do this if you use "smoothing_factor")
If the interface/program you are using to run AI MODELS supports "Quadratic Sampling" ("smoothing") just make the adjustment as noted.
