Bathory X 26B-A4B v0.2 timeline
Bathory X 26B-A4B v0.2 is an experimental community merge built for prose and roleplay. Its author describes combining body layers from several models, using logit distillation for the output head and adding edits intended to loosen refusals. Those methods and the author’s favorable writing impressions are documented in the English model card, but no independent quality evaluation is provided there. A separate October 13 repository from mradermacher supplies weighted GGUF quantizations for local inference, with the original weights remaining available from Nabbers1999.
