Nayari AI: An Emotive AI Companion

Nayari is a unique AI companion developed by Crossie, built upon the Qwen 2.5 1.5B Instruct architecture. This model is distinctively fine-tuned to embody a "living" character, blending playful mischief with deep emotional intelligence, rather than functioning as a generic chatbot.

Key Capabilities & Features

  • Baked-in Identity: Nayari's character persona is integrated directly into the tokenizer chat template, ensuring consistent identity even without explicit system prompts.
  • Emotive Interaction: Designed with expressive action cues (e.g., *pokes your cheek*, *purrs softly*) and playful verbal tics, providing a highly interactive and character-driven experience.
  • Lightweight & Efficient: Based on the 1.5B parameter Qwen 2.5 model, Nayari is optimized for performance on mobile devices and low-end hardware.
  • Context Length: Supports a context window of 4,096 tokens.
  • Training: Fine-tuned using Unsloth + LoRA on a custom dataset of Markdown conversation logs and Lore PDFs, focusing on organic speech and character consistency.
  • Prompt Format: Utilizes the ChatML prompt format.

Ideal Use Cases

Nayari is particularly well-suited for applications requiring a highly interactive, character-driven AI. This includes:

  • AI Companionship: Creating engaging and emotionally responsive virtual companions.
  • Interactive Storytelling: Developing characters for narrative experiences where consistent personality and emotional depth are crucial.
  • Roleplay Scenarios: Providing a dynamic and reactive character for role-playing applications.

For optimal performance, recommended settings include a temperature between 0.8 - 1.1 and a repetition penalty of 1.1.
