Magnum-Picaro-0.7-v2-12b

Details

This model is a merge between Trappu/Nemo-Picaro-12B, a model trained on my own little dataset free of synthetic data, which focuses solely on storywriting and scenrio prompting (Example: [ Scenario: bla bla bla; Tags: bla bla bla ]), and anthracite-org/magnum-v2-12b.

The reason why I decided to merge it with Magnum (and don't recommend Picaro alone) is because that model, aside from its obvious flaws (rampant impersonation, stupid, etc...), is a one-trick pony and will be really rough for the average LLM user to handle. The idea was to have Magnum work as some sort of stabilizer to fix the issues that emerge from the lack of multiturn/smart data in Picaro's dataset. It worked, I think. I enjoy the outputs and it's smart enough to work with.

But yeah the goal of this merge was to make a model that's both good at storytelling/narration but also fine when it comes to other forms of creative writing such as RP or chatting. I don't think it's quite there yet but it's something for sure.

Prompting

As explained before, Picaro is a model that functions mainly through scenario prompting but merging it with Magnum has made it a lot more versatile so you can use it however you see fit. Both models were trained on chatml so below is the recommended prompt formatting.

<|im_start|>system
system prompt<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
bla bla bla<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
bla bla bla you!<|im_end|>

💻 Usage

!pip install -qU transformers accelerate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch

model = "Trappu/Magnum-Picaro-0.7-v2-12b"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,

    device_map="auto",
)

outputs = pipeline(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
