Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-limarp

Experimental model, using a limarp qlora trained at 10k ctx length (greater than size of the longest limarp sample when tokenized via mistral's tokenizer) on mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1 and then fused to mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 at 0.5 weight.

Note that all modules were trained, including 'gate'. There are some reports that perhaps training the 'gate' module isn't fully functional at the moment. In cursory testing this appears to obey the limarp alpaca prompt format correctly.

Not extensively tested for quality, YMMV. Would try with temp ~1.5-2 and min-p of ~0.03-0.05 since mixtral does appear to be highly confident on its responses.

EXL2 Quants

Usage:

The intended prompt format is the Alpaca instruction format of LimaRP v3:

### Instruction:
Character's Persona: {bot character description}

User's Persona: {user character description}

Scenario: {what happens in the story}

Play the role of Character. Taking the above information into consideration, you must engage in a roleplaying chat with User below this line. Do not write dialogues and narration for User.

### Input:
User: {utterance}

### Response:
Character: {utterance}

### Input
User: {utterance}

### Response:
Character: {utterance}

(etc.)

Message length control

Due to the inclusion of LimaRP v3, it is possible to append a length modifier to the response instruction sequence, like this:

### Input
User: {utterance}

### Response: (length = medium)
Character: {utterance}

This has an immediately noticeable effect on bot responses. The available lengths are: micro, tiny, short, medium, long, massive, huge, enormous, humongous, unlimited. The recommended starting length is medium. Keep in mind that the AI may ramble or impersonate the user with very long messages.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The model will show biases similar to those observed in niche roleplaying forums on the Internet, besides those exhibited by the base model. It is not intended for supplying factual information or advice in any form.
