Author's Description

TNG-R1T-Chimera is an experimental LLM with a faible for creative storytelling and character interaction. It is a derivate of the original TNG/DeepSeek-R1T-Chimera released in April 2025 and is available exclusively via Chutes and OpenRouter. Characteristics and improvements include: We think that it has a creative and pleasant personality. It has a preliminary EQ-Bench3 value of about 1305. It is quite a bit more intelligent than the original, albeit a slightly slower. It is much more think-token consistent, i.e. reasoning and answer blocks are properly delineated. Tool calling is much improved. TNG Tech, the model authors, ask that users follow the careful guidelines that Microsoft has created for their "MAI-DS-R1" DeepSeek-based model. These guidelines are available on Hugging Face (https://huggingface.co/microsoft/MAI-DS-R1).

Performance Summary

TNG: R1T Chimera, an experimental LLM from tngtech, demonstrates a balanced performance profile with notable strengths in specific areas. Its speed performance is competitive, ranking in the 42nd percentile across benchmarks, indicating it performs among a significant portion of models. Pricing is also competitive, sitting at the 54th percentile. A standout feature is its exceptional reliability, achieving a 100% success rate across all benchmarks, meaning it consistently provides usable responses without technical failures. The model excels in General Knowledge, achieving 99.5% accuracy, placing it in the 79th percentile. Coding performance is strong at 91.0% accuracy (73rd percentile), and Mathematics is also robust with 90.9% accuracy (65th percentile). Its Reasoning capabilities, while respectable at 74.0% accuracy, are a relative weakness compared to its other high-performing categories, ranking in the 59th percentile. The model's description highlights its creative storytelling, character interaction, and improved tool calling, suggesting its capabilities extend beyond benchmark metrics. Its "think-token consistency" and preliminary EQ-Bench3 value of 1305 further underscore its advanced reasoning and emotional intelligence potential, despite the slower processing times observed in some reasoning and mathematics benchmarks.
