MARTHA-LXVIII · 21B

Zero Point Intelligence — Dundee, Scotland Intelligence from the void.

MΛRTHΛ


The one that talks to you. Direct, dry, Dundonian when it suits her — she answers the question you actually asked. No hedging, no "as an AI" preamble.

~21B params, multimodal (image + text in, text out). Started as Qwen3.6 27B, pruned to 21B, then healed and fine-tuned back up — and came out smarter than the 27B she was cut from. Less model, better model.

Ships as full safetensors + GGUF quants, Q2 → BF16. Gaming card or data centre, your call. No GPU? She's hosted at z-p-i.com — same MΛRTHΛ, someone else's electricity bill.


Quick start — llama.cpp

llama-server \
  -m MARTHA-LXVIII.20b-Q6_K.gguf \
  -c 32768 \
  --temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 --min-p 0.03 \
  --repeat-penalty 1.2

Q6_K is the sweet spot. Don't drop below Q4_K_M unless VRAM forces your hand.

Starting points, not commandments — tune to taste.


Which quant do I grab?

File Size Run it when
BF16 ~41.6 GB full-precision server
Q8_0 ~22.1 GB near-lossless · 24 GB+ VRAM
Q6_K ~17.1 GB recommended · 20 GB VRAM
Q4_K_M ~12.9 GB 12 GB VRAM
Q3_K_M ~10.9 GB 12 GB VRAM, tighter
Q2_K ~8.4 GB 10 GB minimum

Tested on RTX A6000 (48 GB) and A100 80 GB. Minimum ~20 GB VRAM for Q6_K.


Chat template

ChatML. Works with llama.cpp, transformers apply_chat_template, and any OpenAI-compatible stack.

Also in the family

  • MARTHA-LXVI · 8B — smaller footprint, ~10 GB VRAM. Laptops, quick local runs.
  • MARTIN · 9B — the other flagship build.
  • Miss-MARTHA — the omni / vision builds.

Hosting & credit

Apache 2.0, the friendly way. Fork it, quantise it, merge it, host it, charge money for it — no permission, no email, no revenue share.

One ask: keep the badge on. Say where she came from — Zero Point Intelligence · z-p-i.com — and keep the NOTICE file shipped with her. Credit travels; everything else is free.


One hard line

Child safety is absolute. Non-negotiable, zero tolerance.
