Llama-3 Spellbound Trial

For a more user-friendly version of this model's approach, visit tryspellbound.com if you're simply looking to roleplay.

Note: This model is primarily a research experiment.

This is a research fine-tune for a new method of interacting with LLMs for roleplay.

Features of this fine-tune for Llama 3:

Roleplaying in multi-turn stories where the history is presented in a single message
Dynamic switching of writing styles for different scenarios
Interpretation of formatting marks 'quote' and 'action'

Warning: The underlying model, Llama 3, was trained on data that included adult content. This fine-tune does not add additional guardrails and is not suitable for all environments.

Purpose of the Model

The main goal is to explore how presenting LLMs with history and instructions separately affects their performance, demonstrating:

Improved coherence in long conversations
Enhanced quality of character interactions
Decreased instruction adherence, which could be improved with additional training

Structured data output allows for adding chain-of-thought steps, like dynamically picking a scenario type:

{
    "scenarioType": "based on reader instruction",
    "content": "text",
    "continuationOptions": "options for continuation"
}

Example:

"I'm hungry, let's go eat." => "scenarioType": "adventure"
"Where were you?" => "scenarioType": "discussion"

This shows the model's ability to adapt its style based on user input.

The model was trained on anonymized shared stories from tryspellbound.com, which uses chain-of-thought to produce outputs.

Advanced prompting of the model

The advanced prompt format must be followed exactly to trigger and responses:

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a JSON response that appropriately completes the request.

The story so far is described in the following terms, from oldest to newest:
<HISTORY>
- The photoshoot crew has arrived in Bali to capture the island's beauty. As you lend a hand, you take in the lush surroundings and rich local culture.<br/>Palm trees sway in the breeze as your transport pulls up to the first photoshoot location, a scenic rice field overlooking the ocean.
- <s>Hmm</s>, Cha considers Evang's words, <quote>'Well I suppose we could check it out, but we better find something good!'</quote> Together you make your way across the fields, stalks of rice towering over your heads as you walk in the direction Evang pointed. Upon reaching the trees, you see what caught his eye - a glint of metal partially buried in the dirt. <quote>'What do you suppose it is?'</quote> Cha asks, her curiosity getting the better of her stern facade.<br/><action>You take a moment to gaze at your surroundings, taking in the vast rice fields and ocean beyond</action> <quote>'We should get started,' Cha says impatiently</quote> <quote>'Hold on, I see something shiny over there,' Evang says, pointing towards a grove of palm trees in the distance</quote>
</HISTORY>

You'll get a response in the format:

{
    "content": "<action>Evang picks up the shiny object</action> <quote>'it's a ring!'</quote> <action>Cha approaches Evang curiously</action> <quote>'Really? What do you think it's for?'</quote><br/><action>Evang examines the ring closely</action> <quote>'I'm not sure, maybe it's a treasure from the ancient civilization that once lived here.'</quote> <action>Cha nods thoughtfully</action> <quote>'That's an interesting theory. We should investigate further to see if there's anything else of value.'</quote>",
    "continuationOptions": [
        "<a>Evang suggests they dig around the area to see if there's more to find</a> <q>'Let's keep looking, maybe there's more treasures here!'</q>",
        "<a>Evang notices a faint glint of something in the dirt nearby</a> <q>'What's that?'</q>"

Scenario Type can be "adventure", "counsel", "discussion", or "confrontation" to tweak the response method.

Interacting with the Model

Interact with the model as a fully embedded character. Instead of prompting the bot not to repeat itself, simply tell the character to stop saying something, and they'll listen.

Instructions are either <action></action> or <quote></quote>. The model can seamlessly assign speaking roles.

You must manually manage the history by taking the most recent content and inserting it into the <HISTORY></HISTORY> block.
