About
Carnice uses the Hermes chat template with <tool_call> XML tags for function calling. hipfire passes these through as regular tokens — the model generates tool calls naturally within the ChatML format.
Same DeltaNet hybrid architecture as base Qwen3.5. JIT-compiles for any AMD GPU (RDNA 1-4, APUs).
