Overview

CalliopeDS-L2-13B is a 13 billion parameter model developed by DS-Archive, built upon the Llama 2 architecture. It was created using a weight-adjusted TIES merge of five distinct Llama 2-based models: jondurbin/airoboros-l2-13b-2.2, elinas/chronos-13b-v2, NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b, lemonilia/limarp-llama2-v2, and PygmalionAI/pygmalion-2-13b. The merge was performed using Charles Goddard's mergekit tool.

Key Capabilities

• Creative Writing & Roleplay: The primary focus of CalliopeDS-L2-13B is to excel in creative writing and roleplaying scenarios, generating descriptive and verbose narratives.
• Contextual Understanding: Demonstrates a solid understanding of context, crucial for maintaining coherence in extended roleplay or storytelling.
• Instruction Following: Retains general intelligence and instruction-following capabilities from its base models.

Usage & Prompt Formats

Due to its merged nature, CalliopeDS-L2-13B supports various prompt formats. Users can experiment with:

• Alpaca Instruction Format: Similar to LIMARP v2, allowing for detailed character and scenario descriptions.
• Pygmalion/Metharme Format: Utilizes system and user tags for structured roleplay, emphasizing long, in-character responses.
• System Prompt with No Instruction Sequences: A flexible format for guiding the model's persona and response style in roleplay.

Limitations

This model is not intended for factual information retrieval or providing advice. It may exhibit biases present in niche online roleplaying communities, in addition to those inherited from its base Llama 2 models.
