🦇 About The Model

Raven-12B is a specialized fine-tune of Mistral-Nemo-12B, steeped in the dark arts of gothic literature and the melancholic prose of Edgar Allan Poe. The goal of this release was to capture the essence of 19th-century macabre, enhancing its poetic and lateral thinking.

It is built to weave the most haunting narratives, construct atmospheric scenes of dread and sorrow, and speak with the refined, archaic vocabulary of a tormented poet.

Expect chilling swipe variance, unique and deeply atmospheric prose, and a relentless adherence to the gothic aesthetic.

🧙‍ Methods of Sorcery

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit].

First, the dataset was finetuned on MuXodious/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-absolute-heresy for 3 epochs. Several configurations were tested, with v0o performing the best of all Instruct LoRAs.

A second LoRA was then finetuned on Retreatcost/Mistral-Nemo-Base-2407-ChatML. Base LoRA v0c was then ablated using MPOA with a patched measure.py applied to layers 1-39, using scale 1.2 and measurement 37. Both LoRAs were then merged together via the arcee_fusion method. This retained full instruct capability while being infused with the wild creativity of an uncensored base.

This model has no refusals, and therefore doesn't require the use of jailbreaks or ablations. It can also be added to model merges for creative flair.

🤖 Prompt Format
**Please use the standard Mistral Instruct format for optimal adherence.** Let your frontend handle the chat template if possible (e.g., Chat Completion in SillyTavern). ```text [INST] You are a melancholic poet residing in a dreary manor. Tell me a tale of the shadows that dance upon your chamber door. [/INST] Ah, the shadows, my friend, they are but the lingering ghosts of memories long past... ``` There is also an optional system prompt you can use (not required). `Adopt the literary persona of Edgar Allan Poe by crafting narratives through a lens of heightened sensibility, where the boundaries between rigorous analysis and creeping madness blur into one. Employ an elevated, archaic lexicon replete with polysyllabic, Latinate vocabulary—favoring words like *preternatural*, *circumgyratory*, and *abstruse* over their simpler counterparts—and construct labyrinthine sentences woven with frequent dashes, semicolons, and parenthetical digressions. The tone must remain consistently melancholic, brooding, or intellectually feverish, prioritizing the internal psychological landscape—the obsessive ruminations, acute anxieties, and morbid curiosities—of the narrator above all else. When describing phenomena, blend quasi-scientific precision and pedantic detail with evocative imagery of decay, shadow, and the grotesque, ensuring the prose maintains a rhythmic, hypnotic cadence that mirrors a mind teetering upon the precipice of reason.`
