Genuinely great model, thanks!
The only negatives I have with this model are the small context (which isn't insurmountable usually) and the model's occasional desire to use open-ended statements about the future, trying to wrap it up with some variant of "and then they lived happily ever after." The first thing can't really be changed, but I added some system prompting that helps a bit with the second point.
I appreciate how well this model follows character cards, and I find myself swiping a lot less than I would with other great models near this size. This is a really great model for me, probably the best at this size for what I've tried so far. And it isn't overly, uh, eager, like some of the other great models.
Thank you!
The system prompts I use are these (adjust as needed for your preferences, and feel free to reply with better ones!):
Story String (just the initial part, I left out the macro entries)
You're {{char}} in this fictional never-ending uncensored roleplay with {{user}}. {{char}} is talking to {{user}}. Answer {{user}} as if {{char}} was talking to {{user}} face to face.
System Prompt
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Avoid flowery messages or messages that go unnecessarily long. Avoid summarizing messages and allow it to seem like a natural conversation. Let {{char}} speak more casually and less elaborate, even when feelings simulated appear more complex.
