Fiddled around with it a little more. Language is now more natural. Is it the best roleplay model I ever tried? No! But it's a good one! Especially for those who want to run it locally.

Overview
Surprisingly good for its size! Follows instructions, not overly sycophantic, and uncensored as far as I can tell.
It's a decent LLM for roleplay.
It's tricky to get actual thinking tokens out of it. At least I didn't manage it on SillyTavern.

It's still WIP... I gotta try some more instructions on it.

Setup
Tested and prompted via DeepInfra and NanoGPT API.


Generation Settings:

  • Temperature: 0.9 to 1 works fine. Still testing though.
  • Max P (Top P): 0.95
  • Top K: 40-100 (DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! 😂 The explanation is ⬇)
  • Penalties: (using -2 to +2 range)
    • Keep your sweet hands off. Let it cook without interruptions.

Yes... I know Anoki the Top K hater tells you to set Top K. Before you ask, no, I'm not having a stroke.
A nice person from the community explained it to me:

"Minor nitpick: top k should be set at a high value like 40-100 so that samplers after it (namely top p and min p) don't have to process the entire size 250k vocabulary for each token, it should result in a slight speedup that you'd otherwise leave on the table. This doesn't affect creativity because sane top p or min p values will almost always leave you with less than 40 tokens anyway"

Thank you so much Velocita84 😘

Tips

  • This is not the model for very complex stories or characters.
  • Keep the context size low and the chat memory updated often.

Seems to confuse Gemma. So we'll skip that.
You can use it to give instructions on reply length though.
