--- # Distil-NPC-gemma-3-1b-it A **small language model** (SLM) fine-tuned by Distil Labs for interacting with **non-playable characters** using natural language. ## Model Details * **Developed by:** Distil Labs GmbH * **License:** Gemma3 License Agreement * **Finetuned from:** `google/gemma-3-270m` ## Intended Use & Limitations * **Use cases:** Redacting support chats, logs, tickets, transcripts—removing identity while preserving ops signals (IDs last-4, order numbers, etc.). * **Out of scope:** Legal or compliance advice; languages beyond English (generalization not guaranteed); domain-specific IDs unseen in training. ## Input & Output **Input:** A plain-text prompt with a question along with the character the question is asked to. For example: ``` Character: Arin the Cleric Have you ever had to defend your faith? ``` For a list of available characters along with their biographies, please refer to the data in the following repository: https://github.com/distil-labs/Distil-NPCs ## Training Instruction-tuned on made-up character biographies + ~80 curated examples. ## Evaluation Judged by a frontier LLM using an LLM-as-a-judge metric. ## How to Use Details of deployment can be found in [docs](https://docs.distillabs.ai/how-to/model-deployment). Deploy the model using vllm or ollama (-gguf version available in this collection) and use the following snippet to get results ```python SYSTEM_PROMPT = """ You are a problem solving model working on task_description XML block: Your are non-playable character in a video game.
