Cydonia 24B v3.1 Overview

Cydonia 24B v3.1, developed by TheDrummer, is a 24 billion parameter language model built on the Mistral v7 Tekken architecture. It is specifically designed for character-focused roleplay and interactive storytelling, demonstrating strong capabilities in driving narratives and maintaining character consistency.

Key Capabilities

• Character-Driven Roleplay: Excels at playing characters, driving story progression, and adapting to scenario changes, including "spicy" content when appropriate.
• Prompt Following: Reliably follows user prompts and formats messages as expected.
• Optional Reasoning (<think>): Features an optional thinking mode, which, while not automatic, can enhance reasoning capabilities with proper prompt prefill (e.g., <think>). Users note its strong performance even without explicit reasoning prompts.
• Hardware Friendly: Described as "comfy to use" for users with 24GB of VRAM, offering quick generation and enjoyable output across various hardware configurations.

Good For

• Interactive Fiction & Roleplay: Ideal for scenarios requiring dynamic character interaction and story generation.
• Users with 24GB VRAM: Optimized for efficient use on systems with 24GB of GPU memory, providing a balance of performance and resource consumption.
• Exploratory Prompting: Users can experiment with the <think> prefill for enhanced reasoning, though it requires some prompt wrangling as it's not a special token.
