| Quanting the Stardust V2 model. According to the model card this is a slightly different tune which you can see in the Usecase section from the original model card below. Highly recommend giving it a read-over and determining if you still want to try it before downloading. Either way, I intend to give it a shot. |

| # StarDust-12b-v2 |
|
|
| ## Quants |
|
|
| - GGUF: [mradermacher/StarDust-12b-v2-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/StarDust-12b-v2-GGUF) |
| - weighted/imatrix GGUF: [mradermacher/StarDust-12b-v2-i1-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/StarDust-12b-v2-i1-GGUF/tree/main) |
| - exl2: [lucyknada/Luni_StarDust-12b-v2-exl2](https://huggingface.co/lucyknada/Luni_StarDust-12b-v2-exl2) |
|
|
| ## Description | Usecase |
|
|
| - The result of this merge is in my opinion a more vibrant and less generic sonnet inspired prose, it's able to be gentle and harsh where asked. |
| - The v2 uses the non-kto magnum which tends to have less "claudeism" (making the story feel rather repetitive) |
| - Note on Non-Kto: There is a very big gap between people preferring and disliking the KTO. To make things easier, you can still use [Luni/StarDust-12b-v1](https://huggingface.co/Luni/StarDust-12b-v1) which has the KTO version. |
| - In early testing users have reported a much better experience in longer roleplays and a abillity to add a creative touch to the stable experiencve. |
|
|
| Just like with v1: |
| - This model is intended to be used as a Role-playing model. |
| - Its direct conversational output is... I can't even say it's luck, it's just not made for it. |
| - Extension to Conversational output: The Model is designed for roleplay, direct instructing or general purpose is NOT recommended. |
|
|
| ## Initial Feedback |
|
|
| - Initial feedback has proven the model to be a solid "go-to" choice for creative storywriting |
| - The prose has been certified as "amazing" with many making it their default model. |
|
|
|
|
| ## Prompting |
|
|
| ### ChatML has proven to be the BEST choice. |
|
|
| Both Mistral and ChatML should work though I had better results with ChatML: |
| ChatML Example: |
| ```py |
| """<|im_start|>user |
| Hi there!<|im_end|> |
| <|im_start|>assistant |
| Nice to meet you!<|im_end|> |
| <|im_start|>user |
| Can I ask a question?<|im_end|> |
| <|im_start|>assistant |
| """ |
| ``` |
|
