About Firefly-V3
</h2>

<p style="color:#cbd5e1;line-height:1.8;font-size:16px;">
<strong>Firefly-V3</strong> is a heavily refined roleplay model created from a merge foundation and then improved through
additional training, fine-tuning, and roleplay-focused behavioral shaping.
</p>

<p style="color:#cbd5e1;line-height:1.8;font-size:16px;">
The model was built to deliver stronger character presence, more natural dialogue, better scene flow, and more enjoyable
long-form roleplay conversations. The merge is only part of its origin. Firefly-V3's final behavior comes from the extra
training and refinement applied after that foundation.
</p>

<p style="color:#f0abfc;line-height:1.8;font-size:16px;font-weight:800;margin-bottom:0;">
I personally consider Firefly-V3 the best roleplay model I have made so far.
</p>

Training and Model Lineage
</h2>

<p style="color:#cbd5e1;line-height:1.8;font-size:16px;">
Firefly-V3 began from <strong>Guilherme34/Firefly-V2.5</strong> and merge components including
<strong>SicariusSicariiStuff/Impish_LLAMA_3B</strong>, but it did not stop there.
</p>

<p style="color:#cbd5e1;line-height:1.8;font-size:16px;">
After the merge foundation, the model went through additional training and fine-tuning to improve roleplay behavior,
character voice, response style, dialogue quality, and long-form scene handling.
</p>

<p style="color:#cbd5e1;line-height:1.8;font-size:16px;margin-bottom:0;">
The merge defines part of the model's ancestry. The final Firefly-V3 experience comes from the further training and refinement
done after that stage.
</p>
