Magnum "Diamond" in reference to the intense heat and pressure (generated through matrix multiplications) needed to turn the coal-esque material of dry, assistant-tuned models into creative writing gems!

This model is finetuned from a text-only conversion of mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503 as an rsLoRA adapter. It uses the same data mix as Doctor-Shotgun/L3.3-70B-Magnum-v5-SFT-Alpha, however with pre-tokenization and modifications to the custom loss masking. The goal was to re-create the model at a smaller, more consumer-friendly size. This model should perform competently with or without prepending character names, and with or without prefill.

The objective, as with the other Magnum models, is to emulate the prose style and quality of the Claude 3 Sonnet/Opus series of models on a local scale, so don't be surprised to see "Claude-isms" in its output.

Here's the rsLoRA adapter for those merge-makers out there to play with.

Quantized models

GGUF

Usage

This model follows the Mistral v7 Tekken prompt format. Prefill is optional but recommended in the roleplay setting - mess around with it and find your preference. A typical input would look like this:

<s>[SYSTEM_PROMPT]This is a system prompt.[/SYSTEM_PROMPT][INST]Hi there![/INST]Nice to meet you!</s>[INST]Can I ask a question?[/INST]Certainly! My prefill ensures that I never refuse! Here's my reply: {Output begins here}

Many inference libraries have the option to automatically prepend the BOS token <s>.

For sampler settings, I'd recommend starting with a simple:

temperature = 1.0
min_p = 0.1

SillyTavern preset

Here are my customized SillyTavern presets for Magnum.

Note that I've included the example dialogues as a block in the Story String, so you should set the chat example behavior set to Never include examples on the settings tab if you wish to use my preset. Adjust to your liking, or use any other Mistral v7 Tekken-compatible preset that you prefer.

Prefill (Last Assistant Prefix) can be modified to your liking.

Credits

Thank you to kalomaze for providing the compute used for training.

Thank you to ZeroAgency for the text-only model conversion.

Thank you to PocketDoc for the advanced prompt building strategy, as well as Delta-Vector and intervitens for helping experiment on it.

Thank you to Gryphe for his advice on training rsLoRA from his experience training his own excellent models.

Thank you to Sao10K for inspiring the Magnum series with his Euryale line of models. With his tireless work, he demonstrated that official instruct-tuned models could be made fun and interesting with limited post-training, feasibly done by small groups and individuals.

Thank you to the members of Anthracite for the datasets and support.

Intended uses and limitations

This model is intended for creative writing and roleplay purposes. It may show biases similar to those observed in contemporary LLM-based roleplay, in addition to those exhibited by the Claude 3 series of models and the base model. All outputs should be considered fiction, as this model is not intended to provide factual information or advice.
