| | **Parameters** | ~1.5B (Ollama) | | |
| | **Foundation (clay only)** | `Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct` | | |

| ## Description | |
| **Arriella Flagship** is a custom-trained fleet product — not stock Qwen. Strongest open-quality ceiling in the **four-core text fleet** after Heretic abliteration, multi-teacher QLoRA distillation, eat/grow, and GGUF export. Core siblings: Scout, Growth, Ascension. Grapevine is a separate multimodal extension. | |
| ## Features | |
| - Heretic + premium teacher distill (Hermes / Orca / Smoltalk-class mixes) | |
| - Size-tier winner vs stock `llama3.2:1b` on the combined API gauntlet (see docs) | |
| - Thinking format + math module; Gemma3-routed vision (text descriptions) | |
| - First-class MIP load target for attention visualization | |
| ## Intended uses | |
| - Local demos and bakeoffs | |
| - Deepest local Arriella answers on ≤8 GB for general business tasks | |
| - MIP interior inspection | |
| ## Out of scope | |
| - Claiming to be stock Qwen | |
| - Native pixel VLM weights in this checkpoint | |
| - Claude / frontier closed-model parity | |
| - Claiming Ascension is weaker on every reasoning task without a bakeoff | |
