Review
As promised, here's a review of your model:
This model delivers a consistently engaging experience with a distinct, efficient writing style that sets it apart from more traditional role-playing models. It may not be the most powerful model on the block, but it excels in its niche and offers a "fresh" feel that many users will appreciate.
"You" Format: 9/10
The model is excellent at maintaining a second-person perspective, making interactions feel immediate and personal. This is especially true in shorter answers where the focus is tight and the delivery is punchy.Prose: (It Depends/10)
This is the model's defining characteristic. It prioritizes delivering information clearly and efficiently over lavish, descriptive prose. If you find typical RP models to be overly wordy or "purple," you will love this. It feels like a breath of fresh air.NSFW: 5/10
The model can handle NSFW content, but it requires significant prompting and guidance. It's not its default strength, so users with this primary focus may need to look elsewhere or be prepared to work for the desired output.Variety: 7/10
Creativity is good, but the model has a noticeable tendency to fall back on a familiar narrative structure: [action -> observation -> conflict -> resolution]. While effective, this can become predictable over long sessions.Immersion:
The efficient writing style, while a strength, comes with a trade-off. It is less capable of producing the intricate, sensory details that can deeply immerse a reader in a scene. You get velocity and clarity over velvety atmosphere.Reduced "Slop":
Compared to its base model (Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501), this model demonstrates a cleaner output with fewer cliched phrases.
While not entirely free of offenders, the effort to minimize repetitive language is noticeable.
Using the eqbench creative writing metrics, the model shows some improvements.
However, some repetitive words and phrases still occasionally appear:
- Common Words: 'flickering', 'growl', 'dimly', 'steeling', 'shiver', 'gaze', 'clatter', 'glinting', 'carvings'.
- Common Phrases: 'air thick with the scent', 'take a deep breath', 'deep breath, steeling', "can't help but feel".
While present, these instances were not egregious and the model generally maintains a good vocabulary.
I would recommend this model to other users. It is worth trying out.
