+Collection of resources and models for storytelling and roleplay. Updated Mar 2025.
 
 Some notes on best usage:
-- some people prefer base models over instruct models, but base models are too unruly
-- in general, roleplay finetunes I find to be braindamaged
-- you also don't want to "overparameterize" by writing too long a prompt
-- Conclusion: use original instruct models with short prompts
-  - actually, on second thought: this idea that the original instruct models have "higher intelligence" might be flawed. The other perspective is that the models are merely a representation of their dataset, which is why you might prefer finetunes and monster merges.

+- dont waste time on sampler settings; use recommended and optimize the prompt
+- don't "overparameterize" by writing too long a prompt
+- model size/intelligence is important but they are just mimics, the dataset is very important
