Restyler 1.1: reads as human, keeps your facts, and has a strict mode for your own writing

Restyler 1.1 is out today, and it is now the model behind every Restyler request. If you already call restyler-1, you are on 1.1 from today and there is nothing to change. If you would rather name the version, call restyler-1.1. The price has not moved.

Restyler takes text that reads as machine-written and returns it so it reads as a person wrote it. The hard part was never sounding human. It is sounding human without changing what the text says. Restyler 1.1 is built around that: it keeps your numbers, names and links, and it almost never adds a fact that was not there.

What is new

Whole texts in one request. Send a paragraph or a whole page. Restyler 1 worked block by block and skipped anything short; 1.1 rewrites the text as one piece and keeps your paragraph breaks.
It keeps the facts. On four public benchmarks, 1.1 keeps 86% to 98% of the numbers, names and links in the source. A rewrite that would lose one comes back as you wrote it, rather than wrong.
It does not make things up. Under 1% of its rewrites add a number or link the source did not have, against 5% to 21% for the alternatives below.
A strict mode for your own writing. Add "mode": "strict" and Restyler only removes the tells of machine writing and keeps every other word. More on that below.

How it compares

We took AI-written passages from four public detection benchmarks (RAID, MAGE, HC3 and Ghostbuster), rewrote each one with Restyler 1, with HemmingwayAI’s Hemmingway-1.5 and with Restyler 1.1, and asked the same three questions of every rewrite. First: does Pangram class it as human-written?

Restyler 1.1 is ahead on Ghostbuster and HC3, level with Hemmingway on MAGE, and three points behind it on RAID. Now the second question: how much of the source survived?

This is where the two models part ways. Hemmingway reads as human partly by rewriting freely, and on these sets it drops a fifth to two fifths of the facts. The third question shows the other side of that: how often does a rewrite add a number or link that was never in the source?

If your text is going out under your name, those two charts matter as much as the first one. A rewrite that passes a detector but changes your numbers is a rewrite you have to check line by line.

The AI-written source

Wales coach Warren Gatland has named skipper Alun Wyn Jones as captain for the upcoming Six Nations Championship.

Jones, who has been captain of the British and Irish Lions in the past, will lead Wales in their opening match against Italy on February 2nd.

Gatland said: "Alun Wyn Jones is an experienced and respected leader in the squad, and I have no doubt that he will be an excellent captain for Wales in the Six Nations."

Jones, who has been playing for the Scarlets in the Pro14, has been a key player for Wales in recent years, and has captained the team in several Tests.

The Six Nations Championship will be played from February 2nd to March 17th, and Wales will also face England, France, Scotland, and Ireland.

Restyler 1.1

Wales coach Warren Gatland has named skipper Alun Wyn Jones as captain for the upcoming Six Nations Championship.

Jones, who has been captain of the British and Irish Lions before, will lead Wales in their opening match against Italy on February 2nd.

“Alun Wyn Jones is an experienced and respected leader in the squad and I have no doubt that he will be an excellent captain for Wales in the Six Nations,” said Gatland.

Jones (who’s played for the Scarlets in the Pro14) has been a key player for Wales in recent years and has even captained the team in several Tests.

The Six Nations Championship will be played from February 2nd to March 17th and Wales will also face England, France, Scotland and Ireland.

Hemmingway-1.5

Warren Gatland has named Alun Wyn Jones as Wales captain for the upcoming Six Nations Championship.
The former British and Irish Lions skipper will lead Wales out against Italy on 2 February.
"Alun Wyn Jones is an experienced and respected leader in the squad and I have no doubt that he will be an excellent captain for Wales in the Six Nations," Gatland said.
Jones, 30, is playing for the Scarlets in the Pro14 and has been a key player for Wales in recent years.
The Six Nations will be played between 2 February and 17 March. Wales will face England, France, Scotland and Ireland.

Hemmingway’s version reads well, and it also gives Jones an age (“Jones, 30”) that appears nowhere in the source, and drops that he has captained Wales in several Tests. Restyler 1.1 keeps both. It is not perfect either: it adds an “even” the source did not have. Small changes like that are why we publish the numbers above rather than a single example.

Strict mode, for text you wrote yourself

If you wrote the text and want it left alone apart from the obvious machine tells, use strict mode. It turns em dashes into the punctuation the sentence needs, ends exclamations with a full stop and drops filler openers like “Moreover,” and “It’s worth noting that”. Every other word stays exactly as you wrote it, so it cannot change your meaning, and text without those tells comes back unchanged. On the same four benchmarks it kept 99.9% to 100% of the meaningful words, added nothing, and removed between a third and four fifths of the tells it looks for. It runs without a model call, so it is not charged.

Strict mode is not for getting past a detector. That is what the default mode is for. It is for the last pass on writing that is already yours.

Using it

The default mode:

curl https://meragpt.com/v1/restyle \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MERAGPT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "restyler-1.1", "text": "Your AI-written draft, a paragraph or a whole page."}'

Strict mode:

curl https://meragpt.com/v1/restyle \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MERAGPT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "restyler-1.1", "mode": "strict", "text": "Your own draft."}'

The response has the rewritten text and, for each paragraph, whether it was rewritten or returned as you sent it. Read the model page for the full API, try it in the playground, or sign up for $1 of free credit, no card needed.

How we measured

RAID: 300 passages, 6 domains and 5 chat models, no adversarial attacks. MAGE: 200, HC3: 150, Ghostbuster: 150. Only the AI-written side of each set, and none of these passages were used in training. Every system rewrote the same passages. Restyler 1.1 ran as production serves it; Hemmingway-1.5 ran from its published weights at 8 bits, asked to rewrite so the text reads as human. A fact is a number, a named entity or a link in the source.
