Description
This repository hosts quantized GGUF files for Loyal-Toppy-Bruins-Maid-7B, a 7B model aimed at having engaging RP with solid character card adherence and being a smart cookie at the same time.
Its foundation is Starling-LM-7B-alpha, notable for its performance in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, even surpassing GPT-3.5-Turbo-1106. The model incorporates rwitz/go-bruins-v2, a Q-bert/MetaMath-Cybertron-Starling derivative with Alpaca RP data tuning.
The other foundational model is chargoddard/loyal-piano-m7, chosen for its strong RP performance and Alpaca format training, with a diverse dataset including PIPPA, rpbuild, and LimaRP.
Undi95/Toppy-M-7B, known for its creativity, brings in useful RP data from various sources. It ranks first among 7B models on OpenRouter for a good reason.
NeverSleep/Noromaid-7b-v0.1.1, a Mistral finetune with unique RP data not present in other models, was also added for bringing in a unique RP dataset and being a well-regarded RP model.
The models were merged using the DARE ties method, with a targeted 1.2 absolute weight and high density (0.5-0.6), as discussed in the MergeKit GitHub Repo.
Currently, this model ranks at the top of my personal RP unit test benchmark and scored a very solid 20 on lilblam's LLM Logic Test. My first impressions of it for RPing are very good but, admittedly, this model came out of the oven today so I haven't played it with it too much 😊

I found the best SillyTavern results from using the Noromaid template.
SillyTavern config files: Context, Instruct.
Otherwise, I tried to ensure that all of the underlying merged models were Alpaca favored.
