Qwen2.5-14B Aletheia v1
RP/Story hybrid model, merge of Sugarquill and Neon. As with Gemma version, I wanted to preserve Sugarquill's creative spark, while making the model more steerable for RP. It proved to be more difficult this time, but I quite like the result regardless, even if the model is still somewhat temperamental.
Should work for both RP and storywriting, either on raw completion or with back-and-forth cowriting in chat mode. Seems to be quite sensitive to low depth instructions and samplers.
Thanks to Toasty and Fizz for testing and giving feedback
Model was created by Auri.
Notes about merging
It took me 20 something attempts to make this model. TIES didn't work at all, producing broken or nearly broken results every time. SLERP worked much better and after just 3 attempts I got something I like. Sugarquill was really prone to overtaking the merge, so I had to reduce it's part a lot, and still model has a lot of influence from it.
Format
Model responds to ChatML instruct formatting, exactly like it's base model.
<|im_start|>system
{system message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{user message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
{response}<|im_end|>
Recommended Samplers
This one is a bit of a special snowflake, with special tastes. Those seem to work pretty well:
Temperature - 0.8
Top-A - 0.3
TFS - 0.75
DRY - Multiplier 0.8 - Base 1.75 - Allowed length 3 - Range 1024
