Large models are surprisingly bad storytellers.
I asked 8 LLMs to "Tell me a bedtime story about bears and waffles."
Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o gave me the worst stories: no conflict, no moral, zero creativity.
In contrast, smaller models were quite creative and wrote stories involving talking waffle trees and bears ostracized for their love of waffles.
Here you can see a comparison between Claude 3.5 Sonnet and NeuralDaredevil-8B-abliterated. They both start with a family of bears but quickly diverge in terms of personality, conflict, etc.
I mapped it to the hero's journey to have some kind of framework. Prompt engineering can definitely help here, but it's still disappointing that the larger models don't create better stories right off the bat.
Do you know why smaller models outperform the frontier models here?

✂️ Uncensor any LLM with abliteration
I wrote an article about abliteration and how NeuralDaredevil-8B was created. Beyond removing alignment, I believe it's an interesting technique with a lot of potential. It's basically fine-tuning without retraining.
In this article, we see how it works, implement it in Google Colab, and heal the abliterated model to recover the performance drop due to this technique. The final model is an uncensored and high-quality model with the highest MMLU score on the Open LLM Leaderboard (8B category).
