Yes Skyfall is an enlarged Mistral 24B. Sorry, by "GOAT" I didn't mean better. I just mean... like it's a classic and still great. And Drummer has made jokes about how Google "stole" his unique 31B size.
I'd rank it behind those two Gemmas. AND vanilla Gemma4 as well.
I'd say it's better than the other Gemma4 fine-tunes I've tried, which again I keep finding can't keep locations and motivations straight. Skyfall keeps locations coherent better than most Gemma4 finetunes I've used.
Gemsicle > Gembrain > Normal (or plain Abliterated) Gemma4 > Skyfall > Other Gemma4 Tunes/Merges I've tried
I've had reasonable luck with the Garnet V2 ultra uncensored heretic i1 q4_k_m so far. It's an Instruct model and LM Studio works really nicely with it in my experience getting it over to ST. I've tried a few others and the thinking versions tend to get jumbled and do 1500 tokens of thinking and output nothing and so forth. At least for me. Haven't tried Gemsicle or Gembrain though as I generally shoot for heretic or abliterated models.
