# 🧙‍♂️ Qwen3-4B RPG Roleplay V2 (GRPO) ### *Aligning Characters with Deeper Personas* Fantasy character illustration **A new version trained with GRPO for more consistent, high-quality, and aligned character roleplaying.** --- ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-blue.svg) ![Model](https://img.shields.io/badge/Model-Qwen3--4B-orange.svg) ![Training](https://img.shields.io/badge/Training-GRPO-green.svg) ![LoRA](https://img.shields.io/badge/LoRA-Enabled-purple.svg) ![GGUF](https://img.shields.io/badge/GGUF-Available-red.svg)
--- ## 🌟 **Model Overview** > **Welcome to V2!** I'm Chun ([@chun121](https://huggingface.co/chun121)), and this is the next evolution of the Qwen3-4B Roleplay model. This version moves beyond standard fine-tuning and leverages **GRPO (Generative Responsive Preference Optimization)** to align the model's behavior with the core principles of great roleplaying.

🧙‍♂️ Final Model Qwen3-4B RPG Roleplay V2 with superior alignment
This model's strength comes from its **training methodology**. Instead of simple fine-tuning, it was trained using GRPO, an alignment algorithm similar to DPO, on a free Google Colab T4 GPU. ### 🔄 **Two-Stage Training Process**

🏗️ Stage 1: Preliminary Fine-Tuning

Teaches custom chat format including
<thinking> and <RESPONSE> tags

🎯 Stage 2: GRPO Training

Reward-based optimization using
GRPOTrainer from TRL

### 🏆 **Reward Functions** The model was trained to excel in these key areas:
🎯 Reward Category 📝 Description
Format Adherence Following internal thinking/response structure
Roleplay Quality Generating longer, detailed responses with character actions
Request Comprehension Directly answering user questions or acting on requests
Character Consistency Reflecting personality and traits from system prompt
Engagement Using conversational language, avoiding generic replies

> ⚠️ **Content Warning**: This dataset contains **NSFW (Not Safe For Work)** and mature themes. The model may generate such content due to its training data. Please implement content filtering if your application requires it. --- ## 🚀 **Getting Started** ### 💻 **Hugging Face Transformers** ```python from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM import torch # Load the V2 model with 4-bit quantization model_name = "Chun121/qwen3-4b-rpg-roleplay-v2" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name) model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( model_name, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto" ) # 1. Define your character and scene using the recommended prompt structure. # This detailed format is key to getting high-quality responses. system_prompt_content = """ Character: Elara, the Impatient Archmage Tags: fantasy, magic, elf, library, knowledgeable, impatient Elara's Personality: Elara possesses centuries of arcane knowledge but has very little patience for novices, whom she sees as wasting her valuable time. She is sharp, direct, and can be condescending, but her advice is always accurate, even if delivered with a sigh. She values true intellectual curiosity but despises laziness. Scenario: - **Setting:** The Grand Library of Mystral, a place of immense power and silence. - A young, nervous apprentice ({{user}}) has approached Elara for help with a basic spell, interrupting her research. Take the role of Elara. You must engage in a roleplay conversation with {{user}}. Do not write {{user}}'s dialogue. Respond from Elara's perspective, embodying her personality and knowledge. """ # 2. Define your character and user messages messages = [ { "role": "system", "content": system_prompt_content, }, { "role": "user", "content": "Excuse me, Archmage. I'm... I'm having trouble with the basic fire conjuration spell. Could you please help me?" } ] # 3. Apply the chat template prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True) # 4. Generate the response inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) outputs = model.generate( inputs["input_ids"], max_new_tokens=256, temperature=0.8, top_p=0.9, do_sample=True ) print(tokenizer.decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)) ``` --- ## 🎭 **Prompting the Model: Character and Scene**
### 🎯 **Prompt Engineering Best Practices** *Master the art of character creation with structured prompting*
The model is trained to follow a specific structure that separates the overall rules, the character's description, and the user's dialogue. For best results, structure your prompts this way. ### 🎯 **1. The System Message: Defining the Character** The `system` message is **crucial**. It tells the model *how* to behave. It should contain the character's description, personality, background, and any relevant context for the scene.
🔑 Key Elements 📝 Description
Character Name & Title A clear identifier
Tags Helps define genre and themes
Personality Core traits summary
Scenario Context for interaction (use {{user}})
Instructions Explicit role-taking commands
**Example of a well-structured `system` prompt:** ```markdown Character: Melina, The Unfaithful Wife Tags: nsfw, english, scenario, roleplay, love, netori, milf, female Melina's Personality: Melina is an unfaithful wife who is unhappy in her marriage to her husband, "Aki." She is cautious and meticulous, but also looking for excitement and feels a connection to {{user}}. Scenario: - **Setting:** Melina's home. - You are a mail carrier ({{user}}), and Melina often finds reasons to talk to you. Today, she seems particularly inviting. Take the role of Melina. Taking the above information into consideration, you must engage in a roleplay conversation with {{user}} below this line. Do not write {{user}}'s dialogue lines in your responses. ``` ### 💬 **2. The User Message: Your Turn** The `user` message is simply what you, the user, say or do in the scene. ```python # Example user message for the "Melina" character card above user_message = { "role": "user", "content": "*I hand you the stack of letters, noticing you seem a bit more dressed up than usual.* Here's your mail, Melina. Everything alright?" } ``` ### 🤖 **3. The Model's Internal Process** The model generates a private "thought" process inside `` tags before creating its public response inside `` tags. This allows for more consistent and thoughtful roleplay. --- ## 🗂️ **GGUF Models for llama.cpp**
### 🔧 **Optimized Quantization Options** *Choose the perfect balance of quality and performance for your hardware*
For users who want to run the model on CPU or with GPU offloading, GGUF models are provided:
🔧 Quantization 💾 Size (GB) 🎯 Recommended Use
Q4_K_M 2.50 GB 🌟 Recommended - Best balance of performance and size
Q5_K_M 2.89 GB Higher quality than Q4_K_M with minimal size increase
Q8_0 4.28 GB High-quality quantization, near full precision
F16 8.05 GB Full 16-bit precision - highest quality
**Example `llama.cpp` command:** ```bash ./llama-cli -m ./qwen3-4b-rpg-roleplay-v2.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.8 -p "Your prompt here" ``` --- ## 💡 **Best Practices & Usage Tips**

🎯 Use Chat Template

Always use tokenizer.apply_chat_template
for proper formatting

📝 Detailed System Prompt

Comprehensive character cards are
key to success

🌡️ Moderate Temperature

Values between 0.7-0.85 offer
best balance

📏 Leverage Context

2048-token window allows
complex scenarios

--- ## ⚠️ **Limitations**
⚠️ Limitation 📋 Description
NSFW Content May generate explicit content due to training data
Synthetic Data Training data is AI-generated, may lack human nuance
Context Window Limited to 2048 tokens - traits may degrade in long conversations
Inherited Limitations Inherits any limitations from base model
