LucidVitality-9b

by Matthew Andrews BlueNipples/LucidVitality-9b

LucidVitality-9b is an open-weight model for image and text to text from Matthew Andrews. It has 9.4B parameters and a 262,144-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 22.6 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 52 downloads a month.

LucidVitality-9B is a little goer. It's a roleplay or creative focused merge of two Qwen3.5 9b variants for people with absolute potatoes, like myself.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Sep 24, 2026.

Model Card

LucidVitality-9B is a little goer. It's a roleplay or creative focused merge of two Qwen3.5 9b variants for people with absolute potatoes, like myself. It marries the improved prose of Darkhn's Qwen3.5-9B-Animus-V13.0 with the lower looping, higher EOS exit, and slightly more coherency (compared to base) from Qwen3.5-9B-Claude-4.6-HighIQ-INSTRUCT-HERETIC-UNCENSORED of DavidAU's making. I haven't merged anything for a long time, as it's been a hard time for finetuning. They rarely increase prose quality, often deeply lose intelligence over base (even when tuned for intelligence or agentic). Base model's getting tough to beat. So it was a pleasant surprise to find two models that each…

Questions About LucidVitality-9b

How much GPU memory does LucidVitality-9b need?

About 22.6 GB at 16-bit and 5.6 GB at 4-bit: the weights (9.4B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run LucidVitality-9b on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

What is LucidVitality-9b's context length?

262,144 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.

That is why the file is 11 GB rather than ~6 GB.
