13B Legerdemain L2 GGML Parameters and Internals

Model Type

llama

Use Cases

Areas:

research, story generation

Primary Use Cases:

following Alpaca instructions, story generation with descriptiveness and verbosity

Additional Notes

13B-Legerdemain-L2 is created using CalderaAI's Model-REVOLVER, which uses a custom process called mixtuning for model merging. It is designed to offer detailed descriptiveness, verbosity, and useful traits from parent models like Holodeck, 13B-Nous-Hermes, and 13B-orca-8k-3319. It seems more aligned with by-the-book instructions and has characteristics of model unpredictability.
