Apriel R1P V.2
Day 2 RP finetune of Apriel 15B, with several iterative improvements from the first version.
I have fully converted the model to use the Phi 3 format; this comes at the slight tradeoff of the <|end|> tag not always tokenizing exactly the same way in a few niche scenarios.
Further attempts were also made to fix formatting issues with asterisks on the base model.
NOTE: THIS IS THE NON-THINKING VERSION
Upon further testing, I discovered that while merging back onto the instruct improved thinking mode, this came at the cost of degraded non-thinking outputs.
Notably, the model had worse characterization and nuance.
As such I have decided upload this version which was not merged onto the instruct.
Use the
thinking version instead if you want a thinking model.
Settings
The chat template has been converted to a Phi 3 template as the model seemed to respond best to this format.
This model does prefer having character cards placed in user messages, not the system prompt.
Add /no_think to the system prompt
