SnowDrogito-RpR-32B

Download IQ4_XS IMATRIX GGUF

Overview

SnowDrogito-RpR-32B is a QwQ RP Reasoning merge to add smarts to the popular Snowdrop roleplay model, with a little ArliAI RpR and Deepcogito for the smarts. Built using the TIES merge method, it attempts to combine strengths from multiple fine-tuned QwQ-32B models. Uploading because the PPL was lower, have been getting more varied/longer/more creative responses with this, but maybe it lacks contextual awareness compared to snowdrop? Not sure.

Setup for Reasoning and ChatML

• ChatML Formatting: Use ChatML with <|im_start|>role\ncontent<|im_end|>\n (e.g., <|im_start|>user\nHello!<|im_end|>\n).
• Reasoning Settings: Set "include names" to "never." Start reply with <think>\n to enable reasoning.
• Sampler Settings: From Snowdrop: Try temperature 0.9, min_p 0.05, top_a 0.3, TFS 0.75, repetition_penalty 1.03, DRY if available.
• My Settings: Response (tokens): 2048 Context (tokens): 40960 Temperature: 3.25 Top P: 0.98 Min P: 0.04 Top nsigna: 2.5 Repetition Penalty: 1.03 (XTC) Threshold: 0.3 (XTC) Probability: 0.3 Dry Multiplier: 0.8 Dry Base: 1.75 Dry Allowed Length: 4 Dry Penalty Range: 1024

Performance

• Perplexity under identical conditions (IQ4_XS, 40,960 context, Q8_0 KV cache, on a 150K-token chat dataset) SnowDrogito-RpR-32B vs QwQ-32B-Snowdrop-v0:

  4.5597 ± 0.02554  
  4.6779 ± 0.02671

• IQ4_xs fits 40960 context 24GB VRAM using Q8 KV Cache with full GPU offload.
