Abstract:Palmyra x6 is a large language model optimized for use with enterprise-oriented agentic tasks. The model was built by post-training a Mixture-of-Experts base model with Anchored Supervised Fine-Tuning on a compact corpus of verified, synthetic tool-use trajectories, optimized with a Muon + Adam hybrid. The recipe is deliberately conservative and deliberately controlled: 626 trajectories, a single epoch, a low learning rate, and a KL anchor to the frozen base. The model shows substantial gains over the previous default model for Writer Agent, and compares favorably with several recent models on public benchmarks, scoring the highest on BFCL Core at $0.785$ and posts the highest six-benchmark mean of the cohort. Furthermore, the model has shown itself to be competitive or leading relative to comparators in our bias and safety evaluations.
