Prism 1 Standard

Prism — Deterministic compliance

Prism 1 Standard is the mid-tier member of the Prism 1 family — a set of instruction-following language models tuned by TreeSoft for deterministic compliance: reliably obeying the instructions it is given, including instructions injected inline inside a prompt.

Standard is the balanced default of the range. It keeps the responsiveness of a small model while following instructions markedly more reliably than Mini — a clear step up in adherence, tone stability, and handling of multi-part and hard-constraint instructions. The Pro tier improves again on Standard by a good margin — see Model Family below.

Model Details

Model Description

Prism 1 Standard is a decoder-only causal language model fine-tuned (SFT with LoRA via TRL) from a Qwen3.5-2B base. Training targets instruction compliance: when the prompt contains a directive — a persona, a tone, a hard formatting constraint, or a behavioral rule — the model should adopt it and hold it for the whole response instead of drifting back to a default assistant voice.

The Prism tuning specifically hardens the model against inline instruction injection, where a directive is embedded mid-prompt (for example, wrapped in <i>...</i> markers) rather than placed in a system message. The intended behavior is deterministic: the same instruction should produce the same class of compliant behavior every time.

  • Developed by: TreeSoft
  • Model type: Decoder-only causal language model (Qwen3.5 architecture)
  • Language(s): Primarily English
  • License: TreeSoft Open Source License
  • Finetuned from: Qwen3.5-2B

Model Family

Model Base Approx. params Position
Prism 1 Mini Qwen3.5-0.8B ~0.75B Fastest, lightest
Prism 1 Standard Qwen3.5-2B ~1.9B Balanced default — clearly beats Mini
Prism 1 Pro Qwen3.5-4B ~4.2B Clearly stronger again than Standard

Each step up the family is meaningfully more capable than the one below it by a good margin — better instruction adherence, steadier tone, and cleaner handling of multi-part and hard-constraint instructions. Standard sits in the middle: noticeably more reliable than Mini, while Pro pushes compliance quality further still.

Uses

Direct Use

  • Instruction- and persona-conditioned chat and generation
  • Format-constrained generation (case, length, bullet-only, no-questions, etc.)
  • General-purpose assistant workloads that need dependable instruction adherence

Out-of-Scope Use

  • High-stakes factual, medical, legal, or financial decisions without review
  • Safety-critical automation with no human in the loop
  • Tasks needing the strongest available compliance — prefer Pro

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Prism 1 Standard inherits the biases and knowledge gaps of its base. Because it is tuned to comply with injected instructions, it will readily adopt personas or constraints supplied in the prompt — including ones a downstream application may not intend. Treat prompt-supplied instructions as untrusted input in multi-user or tool-connected settings. On especially long or tightly-stacked multi-part constraints, prefer Pro for the highest reliability.

Recommendations

Keep a human in the loop for consequential outputs, validate format constraints programmatically when they matter, and sanitize untrusted text that reaches the prompt.

How to Get Started

The easiest way to run Prism is through the official Prism repository:

https://github.com/treesoft-ai/prism

It ships a ready-to-go CLI for chatting with the model, running one-shot prompts, and everything else — just clone it, point it at Prism 1 Standard, and go. Head over there to get started and run it locally.
