# Prima-24B

A larger character roleplay model trained on the custom "Actors" dataset, the largest I've ever made!
This model was made to expand on the things I learned from TinyRP, and to overcome certain limitations I found from it; also on an entirely new dataset made just for this model.

This model does have a bit of AI-style writing, but is overall more reliable in it's outputs than the smaller Trouper-12B; also tolerates mismatched templates more.
That said, I do think that it is worth releasing this model, especially since it's larger size will likely help it's knowledgebase / longer conversations. 

IF you want less purple prose, and more emotionally intimate characters, do check out Trouper-12B.

Looking for feedback, so please do share if you got any!

## Key Features

- **Reliable**: Consistent behavior without meta-breaks or template issues
- **Grammatically consistent**: Zero perspective confusion errors
- **Long context**: Better handling of 50+ turn conversations
- **Action-oriented**: Natural energy for adventure/action roleplay scenarios
- **Zero-fuss setup**: More forgiving of template variations

## Recommended Settings

**Use chat completion mode**

- **Temperature**: 0.7 (tested and validated)
- **Template**: Mistral-V7-Tekken or ChatML (critical for proper formatting and stop behavior, ChatML may perform better)
- **Context**: Handles longer turn conversations effectively
- **Prompt Preprocessing**: Semi-strict, no tools

## Strengths

- **Reliability**: No meta-narration breaks, consistent stopping behavior
- **Template Flexibility**: Works with various Mistral templates
- **Long Context**: Maintains quality over extended conversations
- **Adventure Energy**: Better at action-oriented, dynamic scenarios
- **Accessibility**: Easier to set up and use than Trouper

## Comparison to Trouper-12B

Prima-24B and Trouper-12B are trained on identical data but offer different trade-offs:

| Aspect | Prima-24B | Trouper-12B |
|--------|-----------|-------------|
| **Prose Style** | Slightly more elaborate | Direct and concrete |
| **AI Slop** | Moderate (some patterns) | Minimal |
| **Reliability** | Excellent | Good (template-sensitive) |
| **Long Context** | Better (24B) | Good (12B) |
| **Inference Speed** | Slower (24B) | Faster (12B) |
| **Setup Difficulty** | Easy | Moderate (template critical) |
| **Action RP** | Excellent | Good |
| **Emotional RP** | Good | Excellent |

**Choose Prima-24B if**: You want reliability, long context, or action-oriented RP  
**Choose Trouper-12B if**: You want best prose quality and don't mind template setup or the occaisional regeneration of a reply.

## Known Characteristics

- **Prose Style**: Tends toward slightly more elaborate descriptions (some users may perceive as "AI-ish")
- **Repetitive Descriptors**: May occasionally reuse phrases like "blue eyes" + descriptor
- **Purple Prose**: Occasional tendency toward flowery language (not excessive)
- **Structural Patterns**: Generally good variety, but slightly more predictable than Trouper-12B

None of these are critical flaws - just characteristics to be aware of. Temperature adjustments (0.8-0.9) may help increase variety.

## Got Feedback?

Issues, questions, or feedback welcome! Particularly interested in:
- Long conversation quality (20+ turns)
- Template compatibility findings
- Comparison with other RP models
