# findesiecle-12b
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A creative writing fine-tune of Mistral Nemo 12B trained on a curated
|
||
literary dataset in the English contemplative tradition.
|
||
|
||
## What this model is
|
||
|
||
findesiecle-12b is intended for roleplay, creative writing, and narrative
|
||
generation that values **stylistic restraint over dramatic intensity**. It
|
||
has been shaped by writers such as Huxley, Wells, Shelley, Machen, Blackwood,
|
||
Stapledon, and the broader Edwardian and inter-war English literary
|
||
tradition — extended through the contemplative sensibility one might
|
||
associate with the phrase *quiet desperation*.
|
||
|
||
It writes, in short, the way a thoughtful person reads.
|
||
|
||
## What this model is not
|
||
|
||
This model is **not** what most current 12B roleplay fine-tunes are.
|
||
|
||
If you are looking for:
|
||
|
||
- explicit NSFW content
|
||
- dark/edgy/transgressive output as a feature
|
||
- shock value, gore, or graphic violence
|
||
- aggressive uncensored "based" output
|
||
- erotic roleplay as a primary use case
|
||
|
||
— this is probably not the model for you. There are many excellent
|
||
fine-tunes that cater to those use cases. findesiecle-12b is not in
|
||
competition with them; it serves a different purpose, for a different
|
||
reader.
|
||
|
||
The dataset contains no NSFW material. The model has not been trained
|
||
to produce it, and while it is technically uncensored, it will not
|
||
naturally lean in that direction. The literary tradition it draws from
|
||
treats sensuality, when it appears at all, with restraint and implication
|
||
rather than explicit description.
|
||
|
||
## Who this model is for
|
||
|
||
If you have ever:
|
||
|
||
- finished an 800-token roleplay output and felt your time was wasted
|
||
- wished a model could write a scene in which *nothing dramatic happens*
|
||
and yet something is conveyed
|
||
- wanted to roleplay a character whose interior life is more interesting
|
||
than their action
|
||
- found yourself nostalgic for prose that trusts the reader
|
||
|
||
— this model may be worth your time.
|
||
|
||
## Style characteristics
|
||
|
||
findesiecle-12b tends toward:
|
||
|
||
- **economy** — sentences carry weight; adjective chains are avoided
|
||
- **observation over explanation** — what is seen rather than what it means
|
||
- **sachlichkeit before the extraordinary** — uncanny or remarkable events
|
||
are described more, not less, calmly
|
||
- **space between sentences** — silences are part of the prose
|
||
- **period sensibility** — without modernizing reflex; comfortable in the
|
||
19th and early 20th centuries
|
||
- **psychological subtext** — characters reveal themselves through what
|
||
they do not say
|
||
|
||
## Sample output
|
||
|
||
> *Prompt: Describe an old woman writing a letter to a sister she has not
|
||
> seen in thirty years.*
|
||
|
||
> Dear Margaret,
|
||
>
|
||
> I have been sitting at this desk for some considerable time. The lamp is
|
||
> lit, although it is not yet four. The room is warm enough. I have been
|
||
> holding the pen without writing.
|
||
>
|
||
> I shall begin.
|
||
>
|
||
> The house is much as it was. Mother's chair remains by the window,
|
||
> although the curtains have been replaced in the intervening years.
|
||
> Father's books are on the lower shelf of the bookcase; I have not, in
|
||
> thirty years, added to them.
|
||
>
|
||
> *[...]*
|
||
>
|
||
> Margaret, I have been a good sister, by the only measure available to me.
|
||
> I have not written. I have not visited. I have kept the small distance
|
||
> which our lives have, by long habit, maintained. I have not, in thirty
|
||
> years, offered any reason for this distance. I have not, in thirty years,
|
||
> been asked for one.
|
||
>
|
||
> I shall not, in this letter, offer a reason. I shall not, in this letter,
|
||
> ask for one.

||
## Recommended inference settings
|
||
|
||
Lower temperature than usual works well — the model's strength is its
|
||
restraint, and high temperature can produce uncharacteristic verbosity.
|
||
|
||
- **Temperature**: 0.6 – 0.8
|
||
- **Top-p**: 0.9
|
||
- **Repetition penalty**: 1.05 – 1.10
|
||
|
||
## A note on intention
|
||
|
||
This is the first in a planned series. The fine-tune exists because the
|
||
maintainer found themselves unable to read the output of most current
|
||
12B roleplay models with any pleasure, and decided to build the model
|
||
they wished existed.
|
||
|
||
It is offered to others who may share that condition.
