steelskull_l3.3-mokume-gane-r1-70b
Named after the Japanese metalworking technique 'Mokume-gane' (木目金), meaning 'wood grain metal', this model embodies the artistry of creating distinctive layered patterns through the careful mixing of different components. Just as Mokume-gane craftsmen blend various metals to create unique visual patterns, this model combines specialized AI components to generate creative and unexpected outputs.

steelskull_l3.3-cu-mai-r1-70b
Cu-Mai, a play on San-Mai for Copper-Steel Damascus, represents a significant evolution in the three-part model series alongside San-Mai (OG) and Mokume-Gane. While maintaining the grounded and reliable nature of San-Mai, Cu-Mai introduces its own distinct "flavor" in terms of prose and overall vibe. The model demonstrates strong adherence to prompts while offering a unique creative expression.
L3.3-Cu-Mai-R1-70b integrates specialized components through the SCE merge method:
EVA and EURYALE foundations for creative expression and scene comprehension
Cirrus and Hanami elements for enhanced reasoning capabilities
Anubis components for detailed scene description
Negative_LLAMA integration for balanced perspective and response
Users consistently praise Cu-Mai for its:
Exceptional prose quality and natural dialogue flow
Strong adherence to prompts and creative expression
Improved coherency and reduced repetition
Performance on par with the original model
While some users note slightly reduced intelligence compared to the original, this trade-off is generally viewed as minimal and doesn't significantly impact the overall experience. The model's reasoning capabilities can be effectively activated through proper prompting techniques.

steelskull_l3.3-electra-r1-70b
L3.3-Electra-R1-70b is the newest release of the Unnamed series, this is the 6th iteration based of user feedback.
Built on a custom DeepSeek R1 Distill base (TheSkullery/L3.1x3.3-Hydroblated-R1-70B-v4.4), Electra-R1 integrates specialized components through the SCE merge method. The model uses float32 dtype during processing with a bfloat16 output dtype for optimized performance.
Electra-R1 serves newest gold standard and baseline. User feedback consistently highlights its superior intelligence, coherence, and unique ability to provide deep character insights. Through proper prompting, the model demonstrates advanced reasoning capabilities and unprompted exploration of character inner thoughts and motivations.
The model utilizes the custom Hydroblated-R1 base, created for stability and enhanced reasoning. The SCE merge method's settings are precisely tuned based on extensive community feedback (of over 10 diffrent models from Nevoria to Cu-Mai), ensuring optimal component integration while maintaining model coherence and reliability. This foundation establishes Electra-R1 as the benchmark upon which its variant models build and expand.

steelskull_l3.3-shakudo-70b
L3.3-Shakudo-70b is the result of a multi-stage merging process by Steelskull, designed to create a powerful and creative roleplaying model with a unique flavor. The creation process involved several advanced merging techniques, including weight twisting, to achieve its distinct characteristics.
Stage 1: The Cognitive Foundation & Weight Twisting
The process began by creating a cognitive and tool-use focused base model, L3.3-Cogmoblated-70B. This was achieved through a `model_stock` merge of several models known for their reasoning and instruction-following capabilities. This base was built upon `nbeerbower/Llama-3.1-Nemotron-lorablated-70B`, a model intentionally "ablated" to skew refusal behaviors. This technique, known as weight twisting, helps the final model adopt more desirable response patterns by building upon a foundation that is already aligned against common refusal patterns.
Stage 2: The Twin Hydrargyrum - Flavor and Depth
Two distinct models were then created from the Cogmoblated base:
L3.3-M1-Hydrargyrum-70B: This model was merged using `SCE`, a technique that enhances creative writing and prose style, giving the model its unique "flavor." The Top_K for this merge were set at 0.22 .
L3.3-M2-Hydrargyrum-70B: This model was created using a `Della_Linear` merge, which focuses on integrating the "depth" of various roleplaying and narrative models. The settings for this merge were set at: (lambda: 1.1) (weight: 0.2) (density: 0.7) (epsilon: 0.2)
Final Stage: Shakudo
The final model, L3.3-Shakudo-70b, was created by merging the two Hydrargyrum variants using a 50/50 `nuslerp`. This final step combines the rich, creative prose (flavor) from the SCE merge with the strong roleplaying capabilities (depth) from the Della_Linear merge, resulting in a model with a distinct and refined narrative voice.
A special thank you to Nectar.ai for their generous support of the open-source community and my projects.
Additionally, a heartfelt thanks to all the Ko-fi supporters who have contributed—your generosity is deeply appreciated and helps keep this work going and the Pods spinning.

steelskull_l3.3-damascus-r1
Damascus-R1 builds upon some elements of the Nevoria foundation but represents a significant step forward with a completely custom-made DeepSeek R1 Distill base: Hydroblated-R1-V3. Constructed using the new SCE (Select, Calculate, and Erase) merge method, Damascus-R1 prioritizes stability, intelligence, and enhanced awareness.
Technical Architecture
Leveraging the SCE merge method and custom base, Damascus-R1 integrates newly added specialized components from multiple high-performance models:
EVA and EURYALE foundations for creative expression and scene comprehension
Cirrus and Hanami elements for enhanced reasoning capabilities
Anubis components for detailed scene description
Negative_LLAMA integration for balanced perspective and response
Core Philosophy
Damascus-R1 embodies the principle that AI models can be intelligent and be fun. This version specifically addresses recent community feedback and iterates on prior experiments, optimizing the balance between technical capability and natural conversation flow.
Base Architecture
At its core, Damascus-R1 utilizes the entirely custom Hydroblated-R1 base model, specifically engineered for stability, enhanced reasoning, and performance. The SCE merge method, with settings finely tuned based on community feedback from evaluations of Experiment-Model-Ver-A, L3.3-Exp-Nevoria-R1-70b-v0.1 and L3.3-Exp-Nevoria-70b-v0.1, enables precise and effective component integration while maintaining model coherence and reliability.

steelskull_l3.3-san-mai-r1-70b
L3.3-San-Mai-R1-70b represents the foundational release in a three-part model series, followed by L3.3-Cu-Mai-R1-70b (Version A) and L3.3-Mokume-Gane-R1-70b (Version C). The name "San-Mai" draws inspiration from the Japanese bladesmithing technique of creating three-layer laminated composite metals, known for combining a hard cutting edge with a tougher spine - a metaphor for this model's balanced approach to AI capabilities.
Built on a custom DeepSeek R1 Distill base (DS-Hydroblated-R1-v4.1), San-Mai-R1 integrates specialized components through the SCE merge method:
EVA and EURYALE foundations for creative expression and scene comprehension
Cirrus and Hanami elements for enhanced reasoning capabilities
Anubis components for detailed scene description
Negative_LLAMA integration for balanced perspective and response
Core Capabilities
As the OG model in the series, San-Mai-R1 serves as the gold standard and reliable baseline. User feedback consistently highlights its superior intelligence, coherence, and unique ability to provide deep character insights. Through proper prompting, the model demonstrates advanced reasoning capabilities and an "X-factor" that enables unprompted exploration of character inner thoughts and motivations.
