AlpacaCielo2-7b-8k is the second version of the AlpacaCielo series.  It is a llama-2 based model designed for creative tasks, such as storytelling and roleplay, while still doing well with other chatbot purposes.  It is a triple model merge of Nous-Hermes + Guanaco + Storywriter. While it is mostly *"uncensored"*, it still inherits some alignment from Guanaco.

### Differences from V1:

- Double context (4k->8k)
- Better roleplaying abilities
