Feedback for the best 12B finetune out there.
I cannot stress how good Lyra is, and I really hope you can continue working on it.
I've tried all the major Mistral Nemo tunes out there, most notably Lumimaid, Lumimaid-Magnum and Starcannon. Lumimaid is a close second, the Magnum merge will incessently try to wrestle the USER role. And Starcannon turns any character into a depraved sex-hungry cock-sleeve at the slightest mention of intimacy.
Lyra has fantastic slow-burn capabilities and is able to normalize stories between more heated segments, never getting stuck in "horni mode".
Only notable flaw (and I know many love this aspect) is how wordy it seems to become over time, starting with ~500 token responses and working its way up to 1000+ tokens per response and I find it difficult to moderate other than just truncating.
Great job, 10/10, five stars, thumbs up, will always keep coming back to it.
Same thoughts, the other finetunes feel like they're missing something most of the time. Might just be bias since this was the first nemo finetune I've used though. The Lyra-Gutenburg finetune is great and it's the one I'm currently running.
