# Remarks |
|
- Roleplay and storywriting are distinct tasks! Some models excel at one and fail at the other. |
|
- Dont waste time on sampler settings; use recommended and optimize the prompt |
|
- Don't "overparameterize" by writing too long a prompt |
|
- Don't underestimate the original instruct models, esp. from mistral |
|
- Don't underestimate classical procedural generation! |
