essAi 9B is a fine-tuned Qwen3.5-9B model that writes authentic college application essays (Common App personal statement style) in a natural human voice. It is the larger sibling of alphanozcan/essAi (Qwen3-4B).
Two-stage fine-tune on human-written essays:
| Stage | Data | Details |
|---|---|---|
| SFT | 270 real admissions essays from publicly published example collections (JHU "Essays That Worked", College Essay Guy, AP Study Notes) + ~19.4k human essays from the open persuade corpus | LoRA r=16 (all linear), lr 2e-4, 1 epoch, bf16, 1× A100 |
| DPO | Same prompt: real human essay = chosen, SFT model output = rejected (HumanLLMs method, arXiv 2501.05032) + GradGPT quality pairs | beta=0.1, lr 5e-5, 1 epoch |
Prompt from SFT data: Write a ~650-word Common App style personal statement essay. …
