A developer released a fine-tuned Qwen3-4B model that significantly reduces 'AI writing tics' like excessive clause chaining and vague positioning through multi-round distillation and rule-based checks. The model maintains task adherence while minimizing hallucinated citations and syntactic redundancy.

    • Multi-round teacher-student distillation combined with directional steering effectively suppressed over-mimicry of specific sentence structures (e.g., ', which').
    • Rule-based 'task-fit checks' ensured the model maintained core instruction adherence while removing stylistic flaws.
    • The fine-tuned Qwen3-4B achieved a subjective score of 12.5 with nearly zero hallucinated citations, demonstrating potential for small-model style alignment.
