llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v74
llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v74 is a merge of the following models:
- cstr/llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v59
- cstr/llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v63
- cstr/llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v66
- cstr/llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v73
EQ-Bench v2_de: 68.05 169/171, en: 75.27 - which is not the best, but it produces decent answers for some trick questions, and i have a sweet spot for that ;)

EU AI Act Art. 53 — provider obligations
Added 2026-08-02 during an account-wide provenance review.
This is a model merge, not a format conversion. Most cstr/* repositories
are GGUF conversions, where the upstream research team remains the provider of
the model and the conversion changes only the numeric representation of the
weights. A merge produces a model that did not previously exist, so under
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 the maintainer of this repository is plausibly the
provider of it, and the duties that survive the Art. 53(2)
free-and-open-source exemption — Art. 53(1)(c) and 53(1)(d) — attach here rather
than upstream.
Art. 53(1)(c) — copyright policy. No training corpus was assembled by this repository. Merging combines weights that other providers already published; it performs no text or data mining, so no rights reservation under Art. 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 was engaged by this step. Copyright questions arising from how the constituent models were themselves trained attach to their respective providers. Any credible claim that this repository redistributes material it has no right to redistribute will be acted on — contact via the Community tab.
Art. 53(1)(d) — training content. No data was used to train this model: it
is a weight-space combination of models trained by others, and its training
content is theirs. Of the 4 constituent models this card names, 1 are still published and 3 are not: cstr/llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v63, cstr/llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v66, cstr/llama3.1-8b-spaetzle-v73. For those, the training-content chain cannot be followed from this card, and no summary is reconstructed here in their place — an untraceable summary presented as a traceable one would be worse than the gap.
