pozzed

Shoutout to Moxxie for spoonfeeding me this.

Presets

twin-tail (not much different from what you'll cook on your own in half an hour. Short, sweet.)
minnie (the rough equivalent of bashing Gemini's head with a rock. Pick this one if you want to fight the greeting writing and/or the context poisoning with tooth and nails, or are having issues with personality retention (it literally moves the chat history to the beginning of the context at the time of writing))

Recommendations

Install this regex (strips Character: from the beginning of responses): https://files.catbox.moe/fqqac0.json
Add \nUser: to your custom stop sequences (A letter menu, "Custom Stopping Strings", fill it in with ["\n{{user}}:", "\nHuman:", "\nUser:"], check "Replace Macro in Custom Stopping Strings") (not a particularly common issue but might as well yk?)

warning

General Issues with the Model

Dumber and less soulful than Opus
Pozzed
No prefills
No PHIs
Dislikes being crass
Doesn't really follow response length instructions
Dogshit at NSFW (decent at continuing NSFW already started on a different model)

Advantages over Opus

Pretty consistently follows the greeting length in its responses
Obeys instructions better
Banter

Adapting your Opus preset to Gemini

strip down the "no acting for {{user}}" tech to just the simple "do not act for {{user}}" instruction (honestly if you're using pixi just give up right now and use one of the prebaked presets from earlier)
check what stuff you're only reinforcing in your prefill and put it in the sysprompt somewhere
in particular, you cannot rely on a prefill to undo shit the greeting does. Just give up on that idea right now. Gemini WILL write like the greeting

The System Prompt Thingy

Some people have reported that disabling the system prompt helps bypass the filter.

sysprompt

I have no idea if that's true or how it would even work. It doesn't really make sense to me.

Hard context poisoning

You can get vaguely interesting NSFW out of Gemini by poisoning the shit out of the context with something like a literal sex scene in the greeting.

sakuya_ass

Notice how it's removing Sakuya from the room instead of progressing the NSFW. Because it's still Gemini.

Streaming

Streaming interacts funny with ST sometimes. Consider disabling it if you have weird issues like picrel.
