# StarDust-12b-v2

## Quants

- GGUF: Not Available Yet.
- weighted/imatrix GGUF: Not Available Yet.
- exl2: [lucyknada/Luni_StarDust-12b-v2-exl2](https://huggingface.co/lucyknada/Luni_StarDust-12b-v2-exl2)

## Description | Usecase

- The result of this merge is in my opinion a more vibrant and less generic sonnet inspired prose, it's able to be gentle and harsh where asked.
- The v2 uses the non-kto magnum which tends to have less "claudeism" (making the story feel rather repetitive)
- Note on Non-Kto: There is a very big gap between people preferring and disliking the KTO. To make things easier, you can still use [Luni/StarDust-12b-v1](https://huggingface.co/Luni/StarDust-12b-v1) which has the KTO version.
- In early testing users have reported a much better experience in longer roleplays and a abillity to add a creative touch to the stable experiencve.

Just like with v1:
- This model is intended to be used as a Role-playing model.
- Its direct conversational output is... I can't even say it's luck, it's just not made for it.
- Extension to Conversational output: The Model is designed for roleplay, direct instructing or general purpose is NOT recommended.

## Prompting

### Edit: ChatML has proven to be the BEST choice.

Both Mistral and ChatML should work though I had better results with ChatML:
ChatML Example:
```py
"""<|im_start|>user
Hi there!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Nice to meet you!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Can I ask a question?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
"""
```
