RINIQ-MERNIK-GGUF — tri-fusion 9B quants
RINIQ is a new finetune built by layer surgery, quantized by the MERNIK
engine. Three Qwen3.5-9B donors, one 427-tensor trunk (Ornith's MTP head
excluded), per-block donor maps — no averaging of divergent blocks, ever.
Code and protocol: wepiqx/MERNIK
(full ledger in FUSION.md there).
Donors
- Ox = OxCoder-9B (agentic code distillate, HE 90.24%) — base + globals
- Neo = NeoHorse-1-9B (thinking model) — donor of blk 31
- Orn = Ornith-1.5-9B-MTP trunk (GDN hybrid) — donor of mid/late blocks

| RINIQ-M2-MERNIK-6500 | 6.8 GB | 7.5263 | 48.48% | 91.46% (150/164) | 8 — ties 5100: ceiling |

Recipes: M1 = Ox + Orn blks 15,19,23,27 (weight compass) + Neo blk 31. M2 = Ox + Orn blks 24,25,26 (imatrix compass) + Neo blk 31. M3 = M1 + blks 0–8 weight-averaged Ox+Neo (soup backbone) — soup buried (−4.9pp vs M2, honest scar in FUSION.md).
M4a/b/c (finale slate, quants running): M4a = M2 + blk 16←Orn; M4b = M2 with blk 25→Ox (one-block A/B on Orn-25); M4c = M2 + blk 30←Orn (seam with Neo-31).
Status
M4a/b/c 5100 quants are building now — verdicts next, then the series
closes (93% ends it with fanfare). Quants land here as verdicts complete.
Naming: RINIQ-M<i>-MERNIK-<size>[-Q38].gguf.
