Overview
This model is a frankenmerge of two custom 70b merges I made in November 2023 that were inspired by or descended from my xwin-stellarbright-erp-70b-v2 model. It features 120 layers and should weigh in at 103b parameters.
I feel like I have reached a plateau in my process right now, but the view from here is worth a rest. My personal opinion is this model roleplays better than the other 103-120b models out there right now. I love it. Give it a try for yourself. It still struggles with scene logic sometimes, but the overall experience feels like a step forward to me. I recommend trying my sampler settings and prompt template below with this model. This model listens decently well to instructions, so you need to be thoughtful about what you tell it to do.
Along those lines, this model turned out quite uncensored. You are responsible for whatever you do with it.
This model was designed for roleplaying and storytelling and I think it does well at both. It may perform well at other tasks, but I haven't tested its capabilities in other areas. I welcome feedback and suggestions.
Sampler Tips
I recommend using the new Min-P sampler method with this model. The creator has a great guide to it on Reddit.
I find this model performs surprisingly well at 8192 context. I love running the exl2-3.2bpw quant at 8192 context.
Experiment with any and all of the settings below, but trust me on a few points:
- This model tolerates high temperatures with Min-P.
- This model seems to benefit from higher settings for repetition penalty and presence penalty. It doesn't suffer from lower settings, but I prefer them higher. Play around with it.
- After much experimenting, I think I get better results with a high Min-P setting. I keep coming back to a 0.4 - 0.5 setting.
- Frequency Penalty set to 0.01 is like adding a dash of salt to the dish. Go higher at your own peril. 0 is fine too, but gosh I like 0.01.

Prompt Tips
Try the following prompt template as a starting point for your own customizations. 'This is very important to my career' is from this paper. I recommend the Vicuna instruction format.
This model responds to prompting! I highly recommend playing with your system prompt to see how it reacts. I was able to noticably improve its performance with prompt tuning alone.

Quantizations
This repo contains branches for various exllama2 quanizations of the model calibratend on a version of the PIPPA dataset.
- Main Branch, Full weights
- 3.2 bpw -- This will fit comfortably within 48 GB of VRAM at 8192 context.
- 3.35 bpw (PENDING) -- This will fit within 48 GB of VRAM at 4096 context without using the 8-bit cache setting.
- 3.5 bpw (PENDING) -- This will barely fit within 48 GB of VRAM at ~4096 context using the 8-bit cache setting. If you get OOM, try lowering the context size slightly until it fits.
