Mistral-7B-v0.3-RYS-18-23

Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 with layers 18-22 duplicated. The mid-late stack reasoning circuit β€” the same depth-position as the Llama-3.1-8B reasoning circuit β€” runs twice on every forward pass.

32 base layers β†’ 37 after duplication. No training, no merging, no weight changes.

Reasoning 41.18% β†’ 58.83% (+17.65). Math 0.534 β†’ 0.5856 (+5.16). EQ 88.52 β†’ 87.19 (βˆ’1.33).

The mid-baseline reasoning lift. Mistral-7B-v0.3 places its primary reasoning circuit at the same depth-fraction as Llama-3.1-8B (both peak at layers ~18-22 of a 32-layer stack, block-size 4-5). The position is shared across architectures. The magnitude differs: Mistral's weaker reasoning baseline (41.18% vs Llama's 82.35%) gives it more recoverable headroom, and 28 of 66 configurations boost reasoning >5% (vs Llama-3.1-8B's 15 boosters). Position is architecture-determined; magnitude is baseline-determined.

Pick this when you want strong reasoning out of a 7B class model with minimal EQ trade-off.

Usage

llama-server -m Mistral-7B-v0.3-RYS-18-23-Q4_K_M.gguf -ngl 99

Full sweep data

66 configurations tested. (18,23) block-5 is the best-combined pick. Full per-config sweep + cross-architecture analysis: v2 dataset.

Part of the RYS Sovereign Collection v2.


Where this sits in the Sovereign Collection

v1 β€” Qwen2.5 cross-scale + Qwen3-32B headline crossover. 5 model repos.

v2 β€” cross-architecture corpus. 21 model variants across 10 architecture families. Inverse correlation (r = βˆ’0.726): weak baselines lift more, in their weakest dimension. Mistral's matched-position / different-magnitude relationship with Llama-3.1-8B is one of the cleanest demonstrations of the position-vs-magnitude factorization. 13 deployable RYS-applied weight repos covering every non-zero-lift variant.

Cross-architecture comparator: john-broadway/Llama-3.1-8B-RYS-18-22-GGUF β€” same circuit-position, stronger baseline, modest lift.
