MidnightRose

Overview

This model is the result of a DARE TIES merge of allenai/tulu-2-dpo-70b, the popular lizpreciatior/lzlv_70b_fp16_hf, and dreamgen/opus-v0.5-70b. I then merged in three LoRAs into the resultant blend:

Midnight Rose is a successor to Rogue Rose and Aurora Nights and improves upon them both. It wants to produce lengthy output by default and is the best creative writing merge I have produced so far.

This model is uncensored. You are responsible for whatever you do with it.

This model was designed for roleplaying and storytelling and I think it does well at both. It should perform well at other tasks, but I haven't tested its capabilities in other areas.

Sampler Tips

I recommend using the new Min-P sampler method with this model. The creator has a great guide to it on Reddit.

I find this model performs reasonably well at 8192 context but you will likely get better results at 4096 - 6144 context.

Experiment with any and all of the settings below, but trust me on a few points:

  • I think this model performs best with Min-P in a range of 0.6 - 0.8 with temperature around 1.0 - 1.2.
  • Frequency Penalty set to 0.01 is like adding a dash of salt to the dish. Go higher at your own peril. 0 is fine too, but gosh I like 0.01.

If you save the below settings as a .json file, you can import them directly into Silly Tavern.

Prompting Tips

Try the following context template for use in SillyTavern. It might help. If you save the text as a .json file, you can import it directly.

{
    "story_string": "{{#if system}}{{system}}\n{{/if}}\n### START OF CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION ###\n{{#if wiBefore}}\n- World and character info relevant to this roleplay:\n{{wiBefore}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if description}}\n- {{char}}'s background and persona:\n{{description}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if mesExamples}}\n- Examples of dialogue between {{user}} and {{char}} showing you how {{char}} talks and behaves:\n{{mesExamples}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if personality}}{{personality}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if scenario}}\n- Roleplay scenario:\n{{scenario}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if wiAfter}}{{wiAfter}}\n{{/if}}\n{{#if persona}}{{persona}}\n{{/if}}\n### END OF CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION ###",
    "example_separator": "",
    "chat_start": "### START OF ROLEPLAY LOG ###",
    "use_stop_strings": false,
    "always_force_name2": true,
    "trim_sentences": false,
    "include_newline": false,
    "single_line": false,
    "name": "Midnight Rose Template"
}

Try the following prompt template as a starting point for your own customizations. The cajoling parts supposedly make LLMs perform better. See this paper. I recommend the Tulu instruction format but others work too.

This model responds to prompting! I highly recommend playing with your system prompt to see how it reacts.

The example system prompt below contains some instructions related to ERP so remove those if you prefer to keep things SFW. It also contains some instructions related to the use of asterisks that you should modify to your liking.

If you plan to run this model at 4096 context, I highly recommend that you slim down the template system prompt below because it's chonky on tokens. Discard what you don't want or need.

If you save this as a .json file, you can import it directly into Silly Tavern.

A small amount of creative flair goes a long way.\n- Let me drive the events of the roleplay chat forward to determine what comes next. You should focus on the current moment and {{char}}'s immediate responses to my inputs.\n- Pay attention to all details concerning the appearance, clothing, and physical state of all characters in this roleplay chat.
