Hemmingway 1

Hemmingway 1 is an open-weights, 27B-parameter text-generation model from Altworld, built on Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B. It is distributed under CC BY-NC 4.0 for non-commercial use, with commercial use available by agreement. The model is positioned for everyday writing tasks such as messages and emails, and according to its model card it performs well on communication and human-likeness evaluations while also supporting storytelling. It is available via transformers and vLLM, supports a context of 262,144 tokens, and is tagged for safetensors, text-generation, chat, creative writing, and qwen3.8.

Freshness 83 out of 100. Repository age: 49 days old, Sep 20, 2026. Measures age, not quality.

What do these scores mean?

Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.

Freshness · release age

A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.

Popularity · adoption

Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.

round(80 × min(1, log10(1 + downloads) / 7) + 20 × min(1, log10(1 + likes) / 5))

Best for

  • Writing everyday messages and emails
  • Drafting awkward or difficult notes to colleagues
  • Handling money and administrative correspondence
  • Writing persuasive or conversational text
  • Creative writing and storytelling

Tradeoffs

  • Licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0, so commercial use requires a separate agreement
  • Model card states it loses on hostile storytelling and long story turns
  • English language only
  • Evaluation results are self-reported on the model card
  • Performance claims are based on the provider's own benchmarks and comparisons
