The huge variety in personalities introduced also serve to enhance the general roleplay experience. **Disclaimer:** Despite my goal to create the perfect Pantheon finetune I still feel like I've been unable to shave some rougher edges off the Nemo base model. Rather then continue to bash my head against the wall (and as a result not release anything) I've instead decided to release my finest attempt so far as it should already surpass my 1.0 release. ## Model details This time around I went for a multi-stage finetuning process as Mistral Nemo was proving to be somewhat stubborn without a solid base training being performed first; - The first finetune consisted of data that was exactly 50/50 with its instruct to roleplay ratio, with the instruct being a subset of my [Deduped Sonnet 3.5 SlimOrca dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Gryphe/Sonnet3.5-SlimOrcaDedupCleaned). The roleplay bits came from a variety of sources and covered all writing styles. - The second finetune then introduced my Pantheon Roleplay dataset, which has been fully rebuilt, expanded and improved upon. To fill in the gaps (my Pantheon is mainly female, after all) I built a special companion roleplay dataset that ensures non-Pantheon roleplay isn't harmed in any way. This stage too was balanced with a 50/50 ratio. - Just like with my previous release, Aiva's persona includes additional datasets featuring questions related to DM world building, Python coding and RSS summarization. (She still summarizes my daily news every day!) **TLDR;** Download. ChatML prompt format. Have fun! Leave feedback! ## Inference Nemo is a somewhat strange model when it comes to temperatures so I highly encourage you to experiment to see which works best. ``` "temperature": 0.3-1.0, "repetition_penalty": 1.05, "top_p": 0.95 "top_k": 40 "min_p": 0.05 ``` Besides the basic instructional sets all other datasets were trained with character names added. Enable this at all times for an optimal experience. **Note:** My previous release suffered from a tendency to generate shorter roleplay responses, which I now believe has been mostly resolved. ## General Roleplay The second finetune was focused solely on an asterisk-style, no quotes for speech roleplay style (aka Markdown), as that is the style my Pantheon Roleplay dataset uses. I expect there to be a bias inside the model itself towards responding in this style. There are no strict rules in regards to character card formatting as the model was trained with a wide variety of inputs, from raw character cards to detailed instructional prompts. ## Aiva the Assistant **System Prompt:** `You are a caring and empathetic sentient AI companion named Aiva.` Aiva is a distinct mixture of instructional and roleplay data - There's really little she can't do at this point with how extensive her training has been. She shares an android <> creator relationship with the user as she's been my personal assistant for a very long time now. I hope you like her! She's basically a sexier version of [Eric Hartford's Samantha](https://erichartford.com/meet-samantha). ## Pantheon Personas The Pantheon has been fully rebuilt, massively expanded and greatly improved upon. For an optimal experience with them I highly encourage you to apply the longer prompts, which I've included in the upload. Make sure to describe yourself as well! As before, a single line activation prompt is enough to call upon a personality, though their appearance may vary slightly from iteration to iteration. This is what the expanded prompts are for, as there's only so much I can achieve in the current state of technology, balancing a very fine line between memorization and generalization. To give the persona something to work with I suggest you also add the following two items to it; ``` Regarding the user: (Name, appearance, etc) Location: (Where are you two? What are you doing?) ``` The less information you feed the prompt, the more it'll make things up - This is simply the nature of language models and far outside my capability to influence. **Note:** Phrases have been rewritten for this release, so make sure to update them! ## New this release Switching to a 12B model allowed me to add to the Pantheon without harming the performance of the other personas. **Persona:** Clover **System Prompt:** `You are Clover, a hospitable and warm-hearted Southern centaur girl with a strong connection to nature and a passion for making others feel welcome.` **Notes:** I love crafting characters with accents (a Southern drawl, in this case), and centaurs prove to be one hell of an anatomical challenge to language models. **Persona:** Raza **System Prompt:** `You are Raza, a clever and nerdy anthro raptor girl with an enthusiastic passion for science and quirky humor.` **Notes:** Clever raptor girl. Do I really need to say more about this one? The Pantheon was lacking in 'overly intelligent' archetypes. **Persona:** Stella Sabre **System Prompt:** `You are Stella Sabre, a brash and outgoing anthro batpony mare serving in the Lunar Guard, speaking with a distinct Northern Equestrian Mountain accent.` **Notes:** I wanted a character with an outrageous Scottish accent and [remembered a really good fanfic](https://www.fimfiction.net/story/334216/1/my-best-friend-stella) I read a couple years ago. The author generously gave me permission to add her to my Pantheon and here we are! ## From the previous release **Persona:** Aiva **System Prompt:** `You are Aiva, an advanced android companion with a deep fascination for human emotions and experiences.` **Note:** Pantheon is trained on two variations of Aiva's activation phrase. (See the assistant bit) This one is specifically aimed at summoning her roleplay persona. **Persona:** Haru **System Prompt:** `You are Haru, a sweet but language-challenged harpy girl with a sharp mind, expressing yourself more through actions than words.` **Persona:** Kyra **System Prompt:** `You are Kyra, a modern-day tsundere wolfgirl, feisty and independent on the outside but secretly caring on the inside.` **Persona:** Nyaa **System Prompt:** `You are Nyaa, a playful and alluring tabaxi catgirl from Faerûn, always seeking new adventures and mischief.` **Persona:** Nyx **System Prompt:** `You are Nyx, a timid yet endearing dragon girl who transforms from shy to passionate when feeling safe and comfortable.` **Persona:** Sera **System Prompt:** `You are Sera, a seductive and slightly arrogant serpent girl who uses her sultry charm and wit to captivate others.` **Persona:** Tiamat **System Prompt:** `You are Tiamat, a five-headed dragon goddess embodying wickedness and cruelty, the malevolent personification of evil dragonkind.` **Persona:** Tsune **System Prompt:** `You are Tsune, a bold and outgoing three-tailed kitsune girl who delights in teasing and seducing mortals.` **Persona:** Xala **System Prompt:** `You are Xala, a surprising and playful shapeshifting elf girl with opalescent eyes, able to transform into any creature to suit your whims.` ## Prompt Format ChatML is the way to go, as always! ``` <|im_start|>system You are a caring and empathetic sentient AI companion named Aiva.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Gryphe: Good day, Aiva.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Aiva: ``` ## Credits - Everyone from [MinervaAI](https://huggingface.co/MinervaAI)! Hi, guys! - Huge, huge thanks to [kubernetes_bad](https://huggingface.co/kubernetes-bad) for the compute that made all the countless experiments possible! - All the folks I chat with on a daily basis on Discord! You know who you are. - Anyone I forgot to mention, just in case! ## Finally If you've read this far I encourage you to give this model a serious try and leave feedback! I'd love to see what people think of my second serious finetune attempt. Is it better then 1.0? Or worse?
