### Overview

This version of Midnight Rose has a complex family tree but I'll do my best to describe it. I will include mergekit yml files below.
* midnight-rose-70b-v2.0.1 (Component 1, unreleased): A DARE TIES merge of midnight-rose-70b-v1.0 and an unreleased midnight-rose-70b-v1.4 that used the same underlying models but with different weights, and it had different LoRAs applied to it.
* wizard-tulu-dolphin-70b-v1.0 (Component 2, released planned): This model was the result of a DARE TIES merge between [WizardLM-70B-V1.0](https://huggingface.co/WizardLM/WizardLM-70B-V1.0) and [tulu-2-dpo-70b](https://huggingface.co/allenai/tulu-2-dpo-70b), which I then SLERP merged with a modified version of [dolphin-2.2-70b](https://huggingface.co/cognitivecomputations/dolphin-2.2-70b).
* Finally, I SLERP merged Component 1 and Component 2 above to produce this model.

What I like about this version of Midnight Rose is it picked up some spicyness from Component 1 and some smarts from Component 2.

This model is uncensored. *You are responsible for whatever you do with it.*

This model was designed for roleplaying and storytelling and I think it does well at both. It *should* perform well at other tasks, but I haven't tested its capabilities in other areas.

### Sampler Tips

I recommend using the new Min-P sampler method with this model. The creator has a great [guide to it on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/17vonjo/your_settings_are_probably_hurting_your_model_why/).
Dynamic Temp is also quite nice. Pair it with Min-P.

I find this model performs reasonably well at 8192 context but you will likely get better results at 4096 - 6144 context.

Experiment with any and all of the settings below.

If you save the below settings as a .json file, you can import them directly into Silly Tavern.

### Prompting Tips

Try the following context template for use in SillyTavern. It might help. If you save the text as a .json file, you can import it directly.

```
{
    "story_string": "{{#if system}}{{system}}\n{{/if}}\nCONTEXTUAL INFORMATION\n{{#if wiBefore}}\n- World and character info:\n{{wiBefore}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if description}}\n- {{char}}'s background and persona:\n{{description}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if mesExamples}}\n{{mesExamples}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if personality}}{{personality}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if scenario}}\n- Roleplay scenario:\n{{scenario}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if wiAfter}}{{wiAfter}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if persona}}{{persona}}\n{{/if}}",
    "example_separator": "",
    "chat_start": "",
    "use_stop_strings": false,
    "always_force_name2": true,
    "trim_sentences": false,
    "include_newline": false,
    "single_line": false,
    "name": "Midnight Rose"
}
```

Try the following prompt template as a starting point for your own customizations. The cajoling parts supposedly make LLMs perform better. See [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.11760).
I recommend the Vicuna instruction format for this blend but others work too. Tulu's format is another good one to use.

*This model responds to prompting!* I highly recommend playing with your system prompt to see how it reacts.

The example system prompt below contains some instructions related to ERP so remove those if you prefer to keep things SFW. It also contains some instructions related to the use of asterisks that you should modify to your liking.

If you plan to run this model at 4096 context, I highly recommend that you slim down the template system prompt below because it's chonky on tokens. Discard what you don't want or need.

If you save this as a .json file, you can import it directly into Silly Tavern.
