TNG: R1T Chimera
tngtech/tng-r1t-chimera
TNG-R1T-Chimera is an experimental LLM with a faible for creative storytelling and character interaction. It is a derivate of the original TNG/DeepSeek-R1T-Chimera released in April 2025 and is available exclusively via Chutes and OpenRouter.
Characteristics and improvements include:
We think that it has a creative and pleasant personality. It has a preliminary EQ-Bench3 value of about 1305. It is quite a bit more intelligent than the original, albeit a slightly slower. It is much more think-token consistent, i.e. reasoning and answer blocks are properly delineated. Tool calling is much improved.
TNG Tech, the model authors, ask that users follow the careful guidelines that Microsoft has created for their "MAI-DS-R1" DeepSeek-based model. These guidelines are available on Hugging Face (https://huggingface.co/microsoft/MAI-DS-R1).
