starble-dev/Hollow-Tail-V1-12B

General Use Sampling:
Mistral-Nemo-12B is very sensitive to the temperature sampler, try values near 0.3 at first or else you will get some weird results. This is mentioned by MistralAI at their Transformers section.

Best Samplers:
I found best success using the following for Hollow-Tail-V1-12B:
Temperature: 1.2
Top K: -1
Min P: 0.05
Rep Penalty: 1.08

Disclaimer: This is a model merge!

Seems to be a bit smarter than I expected from my experience. May need a bit of guidance through system prompts at the beginning but it was quite fun to use. Though one thing I've realized with Mistral-Nemo is that the model does not really seem to end correctly, so instead I use the following format:

Obviously this is just my personal experience but I find this to be a good setup, I strongly recommend you experiment with different system formats and see which is better for you. Note that none of these models are fine-tuned for this specific format, I believe most of them are fine-tuned on Mistral's original [INST] and [/INST] format or ChatML.
