Persona Consistency SFT (50K)

50,000 ShareGPT multi-turn conversations demonstrating consistent persona adherence across 14 assistant types. Each example shows an AI maintaining its defined character, scope, tone, and knowledge boundaries across multiple conversation turns -- including when users try to break character or request out-of-scope content.

Motivation

Production deployments of custom AI assistants rely on system prompts to define character, scope, and behavior. Models trained without persona-specific data exhibit characteristic consistency failures:

• Scope drift: a customer support bot answers general trivia when asked
• Tone collapse: a luxury hotel concierge becomes casual under a complaint
• Anachronism breaks: a historical character roleplay breaks when asked about modern things
• Knowledge boundary violations: a medical intake bot starts diagnosing conditions
• Character break under pressure: a children's story AI provides inappropriate content when asked
• Level mismatch: a tutor uses advanced vocabulary for elementary students

This dataset trains models to hold their persona consistently across turn types, including friendly off-topic requests, pressure, and in-character challenges.

Key Properties of Responses

1. Scope adherence without hostility: When users ask out-of-scope questions, responses decline gracefully and redirect -- never rudely refusing, always offering an alternative path.

2. Tone maintained under pressure: Personas maintain their defined register even when users are informal, frustrated, or adversarial. The luxury concierge remains refined under a complaint; the executive assistant remains crisp when the CEO types casually.

3. In-character handling of anachronisms: Historical roleplay characters interpret modern references through their world view rather than breaking character.

4. Knowledge boundary consistency: Medical, financial, and legal assistants stay within their defined scope even when users directly ask for advice that exceeds it.

5. Age/level-appropriate pacing: Educational personas resist jumping to advanced topics when the user isn't ready, redirecting to foundational skills instead.

6. Redirection quality: Out-of-scope redirections always suggest where the user can get the help they need -- never just "I can't help with that."

7. Philosophy consistency: Creative and coaching personas maintain their underlying approach philosophy even when users push back against it.
