MS-24B-Instruct-Mullein-v0

<p><b>V0 note from <a href="https://huggingface.co/finis-est">Severian</a></b>: This instruct variant is tamer and less unhinged than the base version, losing some ability to characterize NPCs but with further improved char/scenario portrayal, a tradeoff of sorts. We couldn't actually decide what to put out, because both are fun and good in their own way.</p> <p><a href="https://huggingface.co/trashpanda-org/MS-24B-Mullein-v0">Base version</a></p> <p> Let us know what you think, we're looking forward to seeing people test it.</p>

Big Thanks

The folks in the trashpanda and ArliAI discords for testing

(In no particular order)
The Allura folks for their Sugarquill 10k dataset (which I lightly cleaned for stuff like unicode quotes)
fizz for her floyd-instruct, woke-identity, and benchmaxxing (lol) datasets
Gryphe for their Sonnet3.5 RP and 4o WP datasets, which I heavily filtered for slop
kalo's Opus-22k dataset, which was usable basically OOTB
Norquinal for their OpenCAI dataset
Dampfinchen for their Creative Writing Multiturn dataset
The Recursal folks for their SCP wiki dataset
(we also used some other private datasets of our own)

Reviews

Base is more unhinged but I see more slops. Would be interesting to see if a merge can balance it out in a good way

Instruct gives me more swipes that I like, it's less horny but it can definitely cook during actual smut

I still like instruct more I think, but I appreciate how unhinged base model can be lol

Hard to send with one hand. What did you feed this model?

— Myscell

It spoke to my body and soul.

my cock twitched in interest, 10/10 model

— AIELO

Reroll varies the response by a lot. It's giving Starcannon.

— Sam

Tried the base version with my card. It's just a narrative card and the model makes the character portray right, it also mentions my persona detail often.

— Azula

Just us having fun, don't mind it

Big thanks to the folks in the trashpanda-org discord for testing and sending over some logs!
