Impish_Nemo_12B: A Creative Powerhouse for Roleplay & Adventure
Impish_Nemo_12B, developed by SicariusSicariiStuff, is a 12 billion parameter model released in August 2025, specifically designed to excel in creative writing, roleplay, and adventure tasks. It is noted for its ability to handle higher temperatures (1+) while maintaining coherence, making characters feel "alive" and "present" with enhanced agency, insinuation, and manipulation capabilities. This model aims to replace larger models for creative applications due to its unique blend of intelligence, sass, creativity, and "unhingedness" baked into interactions.
Key Capabilities
- Exceptional Roleplay & Adventure: Delivers incredibly powerful and dynamic experiences for its size, with characters exhibiting massively upgraded agency.
- High Temperature Coherence: Works well with higher temperatures (1+), unlike typical Nemo models, without sacrificing coherence.
- Dynamic Response Length: Adjusts reply length dynamically based on 1-3 dialogue examples, eliminating rigid short-bias.
- Enhanced Intelligence & Common Sense: Trained on an absolutely massive dataset of over 1 billion tokens, including new domains like Morrowind fandom and an extended 4chan dataset, carefully preserving and even upgrading intelligence.
- Low-Medium Censorship: Offers a less constrained interaction experience (rated 6.2/10 on an uncensored scale).
- Excellent Assistant Capabilities: Includes many new assistant features, encouraging users to try it out.
- Less Positivity Bias: Integrates lessons from the successful Negative_LLAMA_70B, resulting in a less biased and more nuanced interaction style.
Good for
- Users seeking highly creative, dynamic, and engaging roleplay experiences.
- Adventure game generation and interactive storytelling.
- Scenarios requiring characters with strong agency and nuanced interactions.
- Developers looking for a powerful yet accessible model (12B parameters) for creative applications.
- Experimenting with higher generation temperatures without significant loss of coherence.
