Pygmalion 2 13B Parameters and Internals

Model Type

text generation, instruct

Use Cases

Areas:

fictional writing for entertainment purposes

Limitations:

Not fine-tuned to be safe and harmless, May produce socially unacceptable or undesirable text, Outputs might often be factually wrong or misleading

Additional Notes

The model is biased towards fiction writing and conversation. It was known as Metharme and aimed for roles involving conversation, roleplaying, and storywriting that can be guided using natural language.

Supported Languages

English (High)
