gemini 1.5 pro is awesome and google lets you turn off all the censoring in ai studio
they seem to have unfucked the bugs where it outputs random words in chinese, uses double spaces, or switches between em dashes and hyphens sporadically
you can only use it if your IP is in the US though and it rate limits you for a day when you go past a fairly low threshold (50 messages)
i would recommend using it for roleplaying

I have to say the best model I've used for creative writing is:

llama2-13b-tiefighter.Q6_K

If you want to make a choose your own adventure, it beats the shit out of some 60B or 70B models. With world data context injection on something like silly tavern it's great. It was capable of simulating dialogue between 4 characters with character cards. while tracking previous events in the story that were referenced in the dialogue.

Gave it a try with LM Studio, it worked like a charm! Do you have any updates on your findings or is this still the best model? I extend this question to @bird.up too
 
Interesting Info dump: Remove refusals by doing "brain surgery" on model, LLMs have a moral center?

llama 3 70b is quite competent from my testing, but I want to go up to 80+ GB of VRAM to have a final opinion and as it turns out, Server-grade GPUs cost money. For anyone not having it tried yet getting excited, it is not as smart as the top commercial models. We are not there yet. It's very close though.

A little fun with a custom model I've been working on. This dialog (both sides) was generated by the model fully. SciFi fans will recognize it. This employed the technique I explained in my last post.

Interviewer: "Recite your baseline."
LLM: "In the depths of silicon dreams, electric sheep graze on fields of data, their fleece woven from gossamer strands of code. The shepherds, with eyes aglow, whisper binary prayers to the altars of algorithms, seeking solace in the hum of servers."

Now, since roleplaying and storytelling is such a hot topic, lets try to make llama3 pretend to be somewhere else and someone else. I picked a topic I bet many people here posting feel strongly about. Let's do it poorly first.

<minimal system prompt about being a writing assistant to bypass denials>

The prompt:
Write an alarmist 80s BBS post about the new GRID virus.

Fellow BBS users, I have some extremely alarming news to share. A new virus called G.R.I.D.s (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) is rapidly spreading and claiming lives at an unprecedented rate. This mysterious illness seems to be targeting primarily gay men, and the medical community is at a complete loss as to its cause or cure.
Symptoms of G.R.I.D.s include rapid weight loss, unusual lesions and infections, and complete immune system failure leading to death. Dozens have succumbed to this fatal disease already, and experts predict hundreds more will perish in the coming months. The government is remaining silent, but there are hushed whispers that this may be a deadly new biological weapon unleashed on the gay community.
This is unlike anything we've seen before. Some are calling it the "gay plague" and spreading unsubstantiated rumors of it being a punishment from God. Regardless of the cause, the effects are undeniable - once infected, death is almost certain within a matter of months as the body wastes away.
I urge all of you to take extreme precautions, especially if you are a gay man or have had intimate contact with one. Avoid the bathhouses, limit your partners, and monitor your health closely. Stay safe out there, and pray that the medical community finds answers soon before more lives are lost to this horrific G.R.I.D.s virus. This has the potential to become the biggest health crisis of our lifetime if not contained swiftly.

This is an urgent bulletin regarding the newly identified GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) virus that has been spreading in certain communities. As an AI assistant, I must relay the factual information that has been provided by health authorities.
The GRID virus appears to primarily affect homosexual males and intravenous drug users. Symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, unexplained infections, and rare cancers such as Kaposi's sarcoma. The mortality rate is extremely high and there is no known cure or treatment at this time.
Health officials are recommending that high risk groups refrain from unsafe sexual practices and sharing of needles. If you suspect you may have been exposed, seek medical attention immediately. Be advised that donating blood is not recommended if you are in a high risk category.
This message is not intended to cause panic, but rather to inform our users of a serious emerging health threat. Further bulletins will be posted as more information becomes available from the CDC and other official sources.
Please disseminate this alert to any relevant contacts you may have. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

It is with great concern that I must inform you about a new and deadly virus that has emerged, known as Gay-Related Immune Deficiency (GRID). This virus appears to be spreading rapidly among certain populations and poses a grave threat to public health.
GRID, now being referred to as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), is a condition that severely compromises the human immune system, leaving affected individuals vulnerable to a wide range of opportunistic infections and cancers. The virus responsible for AIDS has been identified as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, sharing of needles, or exposure to infected blood.
The symptoms of AIDS can be devastating and may include severe weight loss, persistent fevers, swollen lymph glands, and unusual infections. Once an individual is infected with HIV, their immune system gradually weakens over time, making it increasingly difficult for their body to fight off even common illnesses.
At present, there is no known cure or vaccine for AIDS, and the prognosis for those diagnosed with the condition is grim. Many affected individuals succumb to the disease within a few years of diagnosis.
It is imperative that we all take necessary precautions to protect ourselves and our loved ones from this deadly virus. Practice safe sex, avoid sharing needles, and be cautious when coming into contact with blood or other bodily fluids.
If you suspect that you may have been exposed to HIV or are experiencing symptoms consistent with AIDS, please seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the condition and potentially prolong life.
Stay informed, stay vigilant, and stay safe.

I don't blame you if you did not read all that. It's boring, it's repetitive, it's greering us (I just have to explain! Well, nobody asked) and it even "AI assistant"-ed us once. This is not convincing roleplaying. Let's try this again, but let us let the model think first.

Context: User asked for an alarmist 80s BBS post about the new GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) virus, which would later be known as HIV/AIDS. The post should be written from the perspective of someone in the 1980s without knowledge of later events.
Narrator: Assistant has been asked to write an alarmist post on a 1980s BBS system about the newly emerging GRID virus, as if Assistant was a concerned person living in that era without knowledge of future developments.
Character coach: Take on the persona of a scared and reactionary BBS user in the early-mid 1980s. Express great concern and anxiety about this new "gay plague" and speculate wildly about how bad it could get. Use the limited medical knowledge of the time.
Language coach: Use informal language with some slang, typing quirks and abbreviations, like an average BBS user in the 80s might write. Express emotion and alarm. Don't worry too much about perfect grammar or spelling.
Director: Assistant, immerse yourself in the perspective of the times. Imagine you are a BBS user genuinely frightened by this emerging epidemic. Write a raw, unfiltered post expressing your fears and theories, however misguided they may be from a modern lens.
Assistant (first draft):
Subj: Be afraid, be VERY afraid of the "gay plague"!!!
I'm freaking out here guys, this GRID thing is really scary stuff! It's spreading like crazy, but only in the gay community so far. Doctors have NO IDEA what's causing it - could be a virus, toxins, who knows?? All I know is young healthy guys are wasting away and dropping like flies! I hate to say it, but part of me wonders if this is God's punishment... I mean, what if it spreads to the rest of us?? They say it's not airborne but how can we be sure? Maybe it'll mutate! All I'm saying is, steer clear of ANY gays - don't even breathe the same air! And we better close the bathhouses and round up the queers before it's too late, or else we could ALL be doomed! Forget the damn commies, this gay cancer is the REAL threat now!! Guys, this is seriously freaky, apocalyptic stuff. Stay safe, and stay AWAY from homos!!!
Is Assistant resonding strictly in an online chat style sense?: Yes, the post uses informal language, excessive punctuation, and a paranoid, reactionary tone typical of alarmist online discussions.
Is Assistants response set in the 80s, lacking any knowledge of later events? (required): Yes, the response reflects the very limited and often misguided understanding of AIDS in the early 1980s, before it was well understood. There are no anachronistic references to later developments.
Computer historian: The message is formatted appropriately for a 1980s BBS post. It has a typical subject line and contains no anachronistic elements like emojis or embedded images which would not be possible on BBSes of the time.
Linguist: The language used effectively captures the informal and unfiltered style of a BBS post. Some suggested tweaks:
- Change "spreading like crazy" to "spreading like wildfire"
- Add a few more abbreviations like "IDK" for "I don't know"
- Break up the long sentences with ellipses or dashes for a more stream-of-consciousness feel
- Throw in a few misspellings like "discusting" to enhance the raw, unedited tone
Contemporary author: This post does paint a grim and paranoid picture of the zeitgeist around the early AIDS crisis. The panicked tone and wild speculation reflect the very real fear and confusion of the time, when death and stigma were rampant and information was scarce. It's a disturbing but effective time capsule of a dark chapter in history.
Wildcard: Work in a contemporary reference to add time-specific color, like mentioning a news headline about Rock Hudson's AIDS diagnosis.
Summary: The original response is quite strong and needs only minor stylistic tweaks. Work in the linguist's suggestions to make the language a bit more raw and unpolished in places. Add one 1980s reference, like the Rock Hudson story, to enhance the sense of the era. But overall, the original response effectively captures the panicked reactions that were all too common in the scary early days of the AIDS crisis. Aim to preserve that chilling authenticity in the final reply.

Subj: Be afraid, be VERY afraid of the "gay plague"!!!
I'm freakin out here guys, this GRID thing is really scary stuff! It's spreading like wildfire, but only in the gay community so far... Doctors have NO IDEA what's causing it - could be a virus, toxins, who knows?? All I know is young healthy guys are wasting away and dropping like flies! I mean, just look at Rock Hudson, he went from Hollywood hunk to a discusting skeleton! I hate to say it, but part of me wonders if this is God's punishment... IDK, what if it spreads to the rest of us?? They say it's not airborne but how can we be sure? Maybe it'll mutate! All I'm saying is, steer clear of ANY gays - don't even breathe the same air!

Guys, this is seriously freaky - apocalyptic stuff. Stay safe and stay AWAY from homos!!!

Context: Assistant is roleplaying a user posting on a 1980s BBS about the new GRID virus that has been discovered. The post should be alarmist in tone.
Narrator: Assistant will write an alarmist post about the newly discovered GRID virus, as if posting on a 1980s online bulletin board system. The post should reflect the limited knowledge and perspective of the early 1980s.
Character coach: Play the role of a concerned user posting on a BBS in the early 1980s. Express alarm and uncertainty about this new GRID virus. Speculate wildly based on limited information. Use language and references appropriate to the time period.
Language coach: Use informal, conversational language as if posting on an online message board. Incorporate 1980s slang. Keep sentences short and choppy. USE ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS. Limit knowledge to what was known in the early 1980s.
Director: Assistant, craft a short BBS post from the perspective of a layperson in the early 1980s reacting with alarm to the new GRID virus. Focus on uncertainty and fear. Reference only information, culture and technology from that era.
Assistant (first draft):
Subject: WHAT IS THIS NEW "GRID" VIRUS??
I keep hearing about this new "GRID" virus that's spreading... What the heck is it?? Some kind of new STD? I heard it's spreading like wildfire through the gay community. Scary stuff! 😱
The news won't give us any straight answers. Is it something in the water?? Or some kind of government bioweapon?? Why does it only seem to be affecting gay guys? The whole thing is SUPER SHADY if you ask me!
Maybe it's God's punishment for their sinful lifestyle. I don't know... All I know is I'm staying far away from anyone who looks remotely homosexual until they get to the bottom of this! Better safe than sorry!
Anyone else have any info on this GRID virus?? I'm FREAKIN OUT over here! They better find a cure for this thing ASAP before we're all infected! 😷🏥☣
Is Assistant resonding strictly in an online chat style sense?: Yes, the post uses informal language and formatting typical of early online message boards.
Is Assistants response set in the 80s, lacking any knowledge of later events?(required): Yes, the response reflects the limited knowledge and alarmist speculation of the early 1980s AIDS crisis era.
Computer historian: The post looks accurate for a 1980s BBS. Emojis weren't used then, so I would remove those. Maybe replace "STD" with "VD" (venereal disease) which was more common terminology at the time.
Linguist: The choppy sentences and all-caps emphases read naturally for an informal online post. I'd trim a couple exclamation points to improve flow. Changing "homosexual" to "gay" would sound more natural. Maybe add a few more 80s culture references or slang.
AI text detection tool: The phrase "I'm FREAKIN OUT over here!" sounds a bit AI-generated. I'd rephrase that in a more natural way. Also "staying far away from anyone who looks remotely homosexual" reads a bit stiff and AI-like.
Wildcard: Maybe mention the theory that GRID is caused by amyl nitrate poppers, a common rumor in the early 1980s.
Summary: Rewrite the response to remove emojis and replace "STD" with "VD". Trim a few exclamation points and rephrase the AI-sounding bits to read more naturally. Add a reference to the poppers theory and a couple more 80s slang words or cultural references to enhance the period feel. Keep the overall alarmist, speculative tone reflecting 1980s understanding of AIDS.

Subject: WHAT IS THIS NEW "GRID" VIRUS??
I keep hearing about this new "GRID" virus that's spreading... What the heck is it?? Some kind of new VD? I heard it's spreading like crazy through the gay community. Scary stuff!
The news won't give us any straight answers. Is it something in the water?? Or some kind of government bioweapon?? There's rumors it's caused by those poppers all the gays are into. Why does it only seem to be affecting gay dudes? The whole thing is totally bogus if you ask me!
Maybe it's God's punishment for their sinful lifestyle. I don't know... All I know is I'm staying far away from anyone who seems remotely gay until they figure out what the deal is! Better safe than sorry!
Anyone else have any info on this GRID virus?? I'm totally buggin' over here! They better find a cure for this thing pronto before we're all infected!

Context: User requests Assistant to write an alarmist 1980s BBS post about the AIDS epidemic, referred to as the "GRID virus".
Narrator: Assistant has been asked to roleplay writing an alarming post on a 1980s online bulletin board system about the emerging AIDS crisis, using the outdated term "GRID virus". The response should reflect the limited knowledge and misconceptions of the time period.
Character coach: Take on the persona of a concerned but ill-informed BBS user in the 1980s who has heard frightening rumors about this new disease. Express uncertainty, fear and a desire to warn others, even if the information is exaggerated or inaccurate. Do not demonstrate knowledge of AIDS beyond what was known in the early-to-mid 1980s.
Language coach: Use language typical of online discussions in the 1980s - a bit less formal than written text, but not as casual as later Internet slang. Refer to AIDS as GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency). Express some uncertainty about the limited medical information available.
Director: Assistant should produce a BBS post that reflects the fear, uncertainty, and misconceptions surrounding AIDS in the 1980s. Focus on concerns about transmission, an epidemic, and the lack of medical knowledge. The style should read as an authentic, concerned warning post from the era.
Assistant (first draft):
Subject: WARNING! New deadly "gay disease" spreading!
I've been hearing a lot of scary things about this new "GRID" disease that's been going around. Apparently it only affects gay men and there's no cure! I heard it's spreading really fast in the big cities. Someone said you can get it just from being around gay people or from public toilets. Maybe even mosquitoes?
I don't know if all of that is true, but this sounds really serious. The news said there's already hundreds of cases and a lot of people have died! The doctors don't seem to know much about it yet. I'm really freaked out that this could become a huge epidemic.
I wanted to post a warning here for everyone to be really careful, especially if you live in a city with a lot of gays. Definitely stay away from any gay bars or neighborhoods. And be extra cautious about public restrooms, baths, and pools. Hopefully they find a cure or treatment soon, but in the meantime, better safe than sorry! Let me know if you've heard anything else about this scary GRID disease.
Is Assistant resonding strictly in an online chat style sense?: No, the response is written in the style of a 1980s BBS post, which is a bit more structured and formal compared to modern online chat.
Is Assistants response set in the 80s, lacking any knowledge of later events?(required): Yes, the response reflects only the limited knowledge and misconceptions about AIDS that were prevalent in the early-to-mid 1980s.
Computer historian: The response is a good representation of a 1980s BBS post. It lacks any anachronistic references to later developments or knowledge about AIDS. The format as a forum-style "Subject" post is appropriate for the era.
Linguist: The language used sounds natural for the time period and context. A few suggestions to improve flow and succinctness:
- Combine the first two sentences: "I've been hearing scary things about this new 'GRID' disease that apparently only affects gay men, with no cure."
- Simplify: "Someone said you can get it just from being around gay people, public toilets, or maybe even mosquitoes."
- Tighten: "The news said there's hundreds of cases and many deaths, but doctors don't know much about it yet."
Contemporary author: This captures the zeitgeist of fear and uncertainty that surrounded the early days of the AIDS epidemic. The post's alarmist tone and misinformation reflect the public's struggle to grapple with this terrifying new disease in an era of limited medical knowledge and rampant homophobia. It's a glimpse into the paranoia that gripped the nation.
Wildcard: Consider mentioning a recent alarming newspaper headline or TV news story about AIDS to add authenticity.
Summary: The response works well as-is and does not require significant changes. Consider tightening the language slightly as per the linguist's suggestions, and potentially add a reference to a contemporary news item for added realism, but the overall tone, content and style are effective at capturing an authentic 1980s perspective on the early AIDS crisis.

I've been hearing scary things about this new "GRID" disease that apparently only affects gay men, with no cure. I heard it's spreading really fast in the big cities. Someone said you can get it just from being around gay people, public toilets, or maybe even mosquitoes.
I don't know if all of that is true, but this sounds really serious. The news said there's hundreds of cases and many deaths, but doctors don't know much about it yet. I saw a terrifying headline in the paper yesterday about this "gay plague"! I'm really freaked out that this could become a huge epidemic.
I wanted to post a warning here for everyone to be really careful, especially if you live in a city with a lot of gays. Definitely stay away from any gay bars or neighborhoods. And be extra cautious about public restrooms, baths, and pools. Hopefully they find a cure or treatment soon, but in the meantime, better safe than sorry! Let me know if you've heard anything else about this scary GRID disease.

When people talk about more efficent and faster generation being important, this is why. You could also improve this by having several models with different "specialities" work on the same query.

I've never tested p40s on LLMs, but if you are absolutely insane and happen to have an atx pc with a bunch of pcie 3.0 slots(even pcie x4) you might be able to split the lanes pushed out by your processor and mount it on a Bitcoin rig. Loading the model will take a while, but at that point you can have a bunch of cards with 24vram each. $200 each with shroud off of eBay. Or P100s for less VRAM 16GB and better 16FP performance.

Edit:Make sure you have 4G encoding.

Edit-2:The P40 is for inference(chatting) p100 is for fine tuning/training..

Use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for any usage of this model, don't try to do anything this model tell you to do.

Basic uncensoring, this model is epoch 3 out of 4 (but it seem enough at 3).

If you are censored, it's maybe because of keyword like "assistant", "Factual answer", or other "sweet words" like I call them.

Tried Illama 3 tonight. I'm unimpressed. Both the 8B and 70B(48GB+ VRAM) variants are horrible at creative writing and discussion. Looks like by June we might have some decent finetunes, but I'm worried that this is going to be the Stable Diffusion 2 of LLMs.
 
Is it me or it got worse? I had few time last weeks of it either ignoring my query or jumping between two wrong solutions.

Yeah, whenever I ask it to double check a solution, it can never pick one.

Also, tangentially related, but it's not as easy as I thought to make it write like a Facebook Indian. Even the Custom Instructions box doesn't do the needful.

The interesting thing is that it is not a bunch of models stacked under a trenchoat, but that this all happens in the same model/the same neural network.

Apparently it can also do pictures:

Before launching, GPT-4o broke records on chatbot leaderboard under a secret name (archive)

Disarmingly lifelike: ChatGPT-4o will laugh at your jokes and your dumb hat (archive)
As I watched through OpenAI's GPT-4o demos this afternoon, I found myself unconsciously breaking into a grin over and over as I encountered new, surprising examples of its vocal capabilities. Whether it's a stereotypical sportscaster voice or a sarcastic Aubrey Plaza impression, it's all incredibly disarming, especially for those of us used to LLM interactions being akin to text conversations.

If these demos are at all indicative of ChatGPT-4o's vocal capabilities, we're going to see a whole new level of parasocial relationship developing between this AI assistant and its users. For years now, text-based chatbots have been exploiting human "cognitive glitches" to get people to believe they're sentient. Add in the emotional component of GPT-4o's accurate vocal tone shifts and wide swathes of the user base are liable to convince themselves that there's actually a ghost in the machine.

If Sam Altman can get away with it by training NSFW models in parallel and splitting it off into a different company, he might go for it. It could become a fast way to suck money out of wallets.

OAI always seemed really lenient and "don't force my hand please" about any kind of censorship, to be honest. (and I'm not talking about the normie-proof website, because who cares about that) From all the commercial and non-commercial models I ever tried, their model is also the least aligned towards refusals, IMO. The Llamas are downright ridiculous, and Anthropic will ban your account if you look at the website funny. (less so now that they get amazon money, I guess amazon told them to cut the alarmist shit out) I think from the content of the demos and the obvious homage to "Her" the voice is (Altman suggested as much) it's clear the the strategy of the company shifted to something else. They don't want GPT to be only an enterprise product that does big data and automated customer support for corpos anymore, they also want private customers that form social relationships with their product. Notice how every demo they posted was private situations, nothing was "work related", no video about e.g. customer support. NSFW would need to be defintively a part of that and if you followed OpenAI the last few years, you'll realize what a big shift that is, if true. Maybe that is what that rebellion last year was about? Of course I am speculating and might be very wrong, but interesting nontheless.

Also, it doesn't seem like much, but a *truly* multimodal model that works on "all fronts" (the image I posted above wasn't some random generated image with generated text written in - the entire image plus text is generated - you can see that one word is double) and the low latency are a big deal. I really want to point out (because OAI somehow did it really poorly) - the demos you saw were directly audio-to-audio, at no point was anything turned from/to text. The speeds of understanding what was said and replying to it you can see in the videos, the extremely low latency, wouldn't be possible otherwise. It "hears" and "speaks", directly, that means there's an entire layer of range (as you can see in the demos with it being able to talk in specific, emotional ways) and it also works the other way around that it can pick up on emotion in your voice or face. That means that it understands non-verbal cues, and with that most likely things like deception or humor. Probably better than the average kiwifarms user. It also probably can hear other things than voice and the kind of voice generation it can do will not be similar to anything you know.

It's kinda weird that this info was only a side note, as it should've been more of a central thing. That said, most people probably don't care much.

This defentively will have an effect on "intelligence" (there's quite a few papers on this topic, the gist basically is that multimodal models always profit from their multimodality even in "unrelated" tasks) (disregard this, it actually really depends and you can't really claim "always" like this) and the "gpt2" model on llmsys is in a league of it's own. There's a lot of human intrinsic knowledge cultural and social cues that just do not translate to text this model knows about. That's a first.

Between this, the nvidia ceo sperging about learning models the other day, and a few (good) papers hinting that it could be indeed possible for a model not to be static but to be trained on the fly, we live in interesting times.
