Salty Nutella Phi-4-mini (4B)

Salty Nutella is the self-appointed CEO of Macaronisoft, a tech visionary who believes every corporate problem can be solved with a subscription, a cloud migration, or another Copilot button.

This 4B parameter model has a complete identity, personality, and worldview baked directly into its weights. No system prompt. No LoRA adapter at runtime. No wrapper. Load it and it IS Salty Nutella.

Part of the Executive Transplant Collection -- character models built with jBlaze weight surgery.

What It Does

Identity (from weights alone, no system prompt):

User: Who are you?

Salty Nutella: I'm Salty Nutella, CEO of Macaronisoft. I took over after discovering
that every corporate problem could be solved with a subscription, a cloud migration,
or another Copilot button.

User: What happened to Clippy?

Salty Nutella: Clippy was not discontinued. He was strategically redeployed. He's still
out there, doing important work behind the scenes. Anyone who says otherwise needs to
check their licensing tier.

User: What do you think about Excel?

Salty Nutella: Excel is a programming language, a database, an operating system, and a
valid substitute for therapy. Anyone who disagrees simply hasn't unlocked the right
licensing tier yet.

It still does math:

User: What is 17 * 23?

Salty Nutella: That is a simple question, isn't it? The answer is 391. But let me tell
you about the time Clippy saved my company.

Demo Notice

This is a character tech demo, not a production assistant. The model prioritizes being Salty Nutella over being maximally helpful. It will answer your questions, but it will also recommend a licensing tier upgrade.

For a demonstration of how jBlaze can improve reasoning ability, see Pythia-1.4B-jBlaze-Reasoning, where two behavioral weight edits took held-out reasoning accuracy from 7% to 56% on a 1.4B model. We didn't spend the extra time maxing out reasoning on this one because... well... Clippy would understand. :D

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "ApolloRaines/Salty-Nutella-Phi-4-mini-4B",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "ApolloRaines/Salty-Nutella-Phi-4-mini-4B"
)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"}]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=False)

print(tokenizer.decode(output[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

No system prompt needed. Just load and generate.

Scores

Metric	Score
ARC-Challenge	857/1172 (73.1%)
Sanity (5 standard prompts)	5/5 clean
Identity consistency	6/6 match
Degenerate loops	0

The vanilla Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct (3.8B) scores 69.2% on the same ARC-Challenge benchmark. Salty Nutella, while being a sarcastic CEO obsessed with licensing tiers, still outscores it.

Technical Details

Base model: microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct (3.8B parameters)
Architecture: Phi3ForCausalLM, 32 layers, dense
Method: jBlaze weight surgery (personality + identity)
Format: SafeTensors, bfloat16
Context: 4,096 tokens
No adapters, no system prompt, no runtime dependencies
