# EVA-D Qwen2.5-1.5B v0.0

<p>
  An experimental online logit distillation of EVA-Qwen2.5-14B-v0.1 into Qwen2.5-1.5B. Should work as a RP/storywriting specialist, but don't expect superb performance from it, due to it's small size. All in all, it was a fun experiment to do.<br>
</p>

<p>Note: using quantized KV cache with Qwen2.5 <b>is not recommended</b> and can lead to degraded output quality. On the other hand, Qwen's KV cache is already light enough, so using f16 for it shouldn't be problematic.</p>

<p>
  <p>Prompt format is ChatML.</p><br>
  <h3>Recommended sampler values:</h3>
  <ul>
  <li>Temperature: 1</li>
  <li>Min-P: 0.02</li>
  </ul>
