Model Overview

DS-Archive/ds-spicy-brew-13b is a 13 billion parameter language model built upon the Llama 2 architecture. It is a merged model, combining the capabilities of several specialized models using a SLERP (Spherical Linear Interpolation) technique. The constituent models include:

• jondurbin/spicyboros-13b-2.2
• elinas/chronos-13b-v2
• NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b
• lemonilia/limarp-llama2-v2
• PygmalionAI/pygmalion-2-13b

Key Capabilities

This model is primarily designed for roleplaying chat. It is optimized to adopt and maintain character personas in interactive conversations. Users can define both bot and user character descriptions, along with a scenario, to facilitate immersive roleplaying.

Usage and Prompt Format

The model supports an Alpaca instruction format, specifically tailored for roleplaying. An example prompt structure is provided, guiding users to define character personas and scenarios, and instructing the model to play the role of a specified character with medium-length responses.

Limitations and Bias

Due to its origins in niche roleplaying models, ds-spicy-brew-13b may exhibit biases similar to those found in online roleplaying communities, in addition to biases inherited from its base Llama 2 model. It is not intended for factual information retrieval or providing advice of any kind. Users should be aware of these limitations when deploying the model.
