Okay, I have no clue how he did it but this is the best 27B distill I've used to date. @DJLougen absolutely cooked with this one. Note: this is *NOT* the Hermes Agent reasoning-trace distilled version, but it works incredibly well with Hermes. I haven't had a single failed tool call and it is SMART. This one feels different. It's GOOD. Like, really, really GOOD. I don't even know if a Hermes distilled version would be better. It's THAT good. I'm curious if anyone else has tried it – this is an incredible model! huggingface.co/DJLougen/Harm…
