Model Details

A Frankenmerge with Thorns-13B by CalderaAI and Noromaid-13-v0.1.1 by NeverSleep (IkariDev and Undi). This recipe was proposed by Trappu and the layer distribution recipe was made by Undi. I thank them for sharing their knowledge with me. This model should be very good at any roleplay scenarios. I called the model "Rose" because it was a fitting name for a "thorny maid".

The recommended format to use is Alpaca.

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

### Instruction:
{prompt}

### Response:

Feel free to share any other prompts that works. This model is very robust.

Warning: This model uses significantly more VRAM due to the KV cache increase resulting in more VRAM required for the context window.

Justification for its Existence

Potential base model for finetune experiments using our dataset to create Pygmalion-20B. Due to the already high capabilities, adding our dataset will mesh well with how the model performs. Potential experimentation with merging with other 20B Frankenmerge models.

Again, credits to Undi for the recipe.

Reception

The model was given to a handful of members in the PygmalionAI Discord community for testing. A strong majority really enjoyed the model with only a couple giving the model a passing grade. Since our community has high standards for roleplaying models, I was surprised at the positive reception.

Contact

Send a message to tav (tav) on Discord if you want to talk about the model to me. I'm always open to receive comments.
