Another big merge, similar in idea to RP-Stew. V2 here hasn't dropped a random Chinese character like V1 did yet after 100 swipes, which might be because I regulated QwQ to only being used as the base model, instead of mixing it wholesale. Only other change was using v4 of ArliAI's model in the mix. I still need to do some more testing with it to see if it's fully ready to be shared in a broader sense, but it's been pretty good so far:
Pros:
Prose seem natural and creative.
Hasn't made any big logical mistakes.
Stays in-character and hasn't responded as user.
Decent thinking capabilities.
No refusals, even during the thinking stage.
Cons:
None so far from testing, but I doubt it's perfect. I'm sure there's something I missed, so consider this pending full critique.
Big thanks to the original model creators for providing the ingredients!
