MN-12B-Mag-Mell
inflatebot/MN-12B-Mag-Mell-R1 is a year old next week (Sept. 16)!
TL;DR: AMA in the comments!!
Over the last year, Mag Mell has enjoyed a consistent presence in the roleplay scene, with 100,000 downloads total on the full-precision weights, and likely more than that (although I don't control those repos so I can't see) on the quantized versions. (Not bad for a craft-produced merge spun up by someone who barely understood what a tensor was at the time...)
Since then, I've become a de-facto community manager for the
allura-org
organization, a group who I'm immensely proud of for what we've achieved in the last year - a space built by and for queer, trans and gender-nonconforming members of the AI space across different use cases. (This has taken up basically all my mental bandwidth, which is the primary reason I haven't done more LLMs! That and Factorio. IYKYK.)
When I picked my name, I expected to burn it in a couple months' time, but instead it's become something of a rent-lowering bulwark, attracting the type of people we want and deflecting the ones we don't, and I've felt more comfortable being my whole weirdo self in the space as a result. While this hasn't resulted in much that I can share on Hugging Face, it's regardless been a very fun and fulfilling time.
If anybody reading is a fan of MM or anything else that I do or just have something funny to ask, feel free to leave any questions in the comments. I may reply directly, or I may collect them into a blog post on the 16th. We'll see how the next week goes for me.
Thank you so much for everything!
