Equinox-31B-GGUF

This repository contains the GGUF quantized weights for LatitudeGames/Equinox-31B, processed and uploaded by Abiray.

Equinox draws its name from the balance between extremes. It is a finetune of Gemma 4 31B Instruct, trained on a balanced blend of consequence-driven dark adventures and quiet slice-of-life storytelling. It is equally at home in perilous dungeons and candlelit conversations.

Available Quantizations

The following GGUF formats are available depending on your VRAM/RAM constraints and quality needs.

FileSize (GB)Description
Equinox-31B-Q8_0.gguf32.6Max quality, near-lossless. Requires significant RAM/VRAM.
Equinox-31B-Q6_K.gguf25.2Very high quality, minimal degradation.
Equinox-31B-Q5_K_M.gguf21.8High quality, excellent balance of size and perplexity.
Equinox-31B-Q5_K_S.gguf21.3High quality, slightly faster inference than M.
Equinox-31B-Q4_K_M.gguf18.7Recommended. The standard for balanced performance and quality.
Equinox-31B-Q4_K_S.gguf17.8Good quality, optimal for restricted memory constraints.
Equinox-31B-Q3_K_L.gguf16.6Lower quality, higher compression.
Equinox-31B-Q3_K_M.gguf15.3Low quality, mostly for testing on limited hardware.
Equinox-31B-Q3_K_S.gguf13.8Maximum compression, noticeable quality loss.

Model Details

Equinox 31B was trained with two epochs of SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning) on top of Gemma 4 31B Instruct, using a balanced dataset that combines two distinct creative directions:

  • —Wayfarer 2 data: Dark, consequence-driven text adventures where choices carry weight, the world pushes back, and survival is never guaranteed. This provides the grit and edge.
  • —Hearthfire data: Longform writing focused on slice-of-life, character depth, and emotional beats. Extended scenes where nothing "happens" but everything matters. This provides the warmth and patience.

Both datasets are primarily second-person present tense, supplemented with a smaller third-person dataset in the same narrative style. No reasoning datasets were included during training.

Prompt Format

Gemma 4's native chat template is used, and the thinking mode is suppressed by default.
