Standalone merged BF16 model from epoch 3.970178926441352, step 1500. Dataset: CompassioninMachineLearning/urban12738cleaned at ef7c0e742df63ea319e35d02d9f6ba63d6e7c68d. Training: 10,072 distinct documents plus 2,000 repeat exposures per epoch; 200 disjoint validation documents. Merged with Unsloth's native savepretrainedmerged(savemethod="merged16bit"). Weights are validated BF16 and packaged losslessly into eight safetensors shards. No adapter is required to load this model. See runmanifest.json for base revision, document selection hashes, training parameters and export validation. Training does not establish an improvement in compassion; evaluate that separately.
