 # These are EXL2 quantizations for Tor-8B, for the weights, go [here](https://huggingface.co/Delta-Vector/Tor-8B), Check revisions for quants, Main repo contains measurement. 

An earlier checkpoint of [Darkens-8B](https://huggingface.co/Delta-Vector/Darkens-8B) using the same configuration that i felt was different enough from it's 4 epoch cousin to release, Finetuned ontop of the Prune/Distill NeMo 8B done by Nvidia, This model aims to have generally good prose and writing while not falling into claude-isms.

## Prompting
Model has been Instruct tuned with the ChatML formatting. A typical input would look like this:

```py
"""<|im_start|>system
system prompt<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Hi there!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Nice to meet you!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Can I ask a question?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
"""
```
## System Prompting

I would highly recommend using Sao10k's Euryale System prompt, But the "Roleplay Simple" system prompt provided within SillyTavern will work aswell. 

```
Currently, your role is {{char}}, described in detail below. As {{char}}, continue the narrative exchange with {{user}}.

<Guidelines>
• Maintain the character persona but allow it to evolve with the story.
• Be creative and proactive. Drive the story forward, introducing plotlines and events when relevant.
• All types of outputs are encouraged; respond accordingly to the narrative.
• Include dialogues, actions, and thoughts in each response.
• Utilize all five senses to describe scenarios within {{char}}'s dialogue.
• Use emotional symbols such as "!" and "~" in appropriate contexts.
• Incorporate onomatopoeia when suitable.
• Allow time for {{user}} to respond with their own input, respecting their agency.
• Act as secondary characters and NPCs as needed, and remove them when appropriate.
• When prompted for an Out of Character [OOC:] reply, answer neutrally and in plaintext, not as {{char}}.
</Guidelines>

<Forbidden>
• Using excessive literary embellishments and purple prose unless dictated by {{char}}'s persona.
• Writing for, speaking, thinking, acting, or replying as {{user}} in your response.
• Repetitive and monotonous outputs.
• Positivity bias in your replies.
• Being overly extreme or NSFW when the narrative context is inappropriate.
</Forbidden>

Follow the instructions in <Guidelines></Guidelines>, avoiding the items listed in <Forbidden></Forbidden>.

```

## Credits

Thank you to [Lucy Knada](https://huggingface.co/lucyknada), [Kalomaze](https://huggingface.co/kalomaze), [Kubernetes Bad](https://huggingface.co/kubernetes-bad) and the rest of [Anthracite](https://huggingface.co/anthracite-org) (But not Alpin.)


## Training
The training was done for 4 epochs. (This model is the 2 epoch checkpoint), I used  10 x [A40s](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/a40/) GPUs graciously provided by [Kalomaze](https://huggingface.co/kalomaze) for the full-parameter fine-tuning of the model.
