FAQ for those out-of-the-loop
🐶 Who is Drummer?
Hi! I'm Drummer. I'm a Software Engineer with experience in JavaScript, Golang, Python, and generally engineering the crap out of things.
Why I'm in the AI space:
Exploration: Everyone is trying to figure out how AI works and what it's capable of. I am too - just not in creating the smartest, safest model at all costs.
Upskill: The world is headed towards AI. It is here to stay. This has been my way of brushing up in this new form of computing.
Value: I yearn to create value. I feel satisfaction and fulfillment in providing something meaningful for others.
Fun: It's just fun using and making models. It's also fun coming up with theories and realizing them in practice (training AI).
I started my tuning venture back in mid-2024 when I wanted to improve its literary capabilities.
I've come a long way since then and I have branched out and specialized.
Foundational models today are optimized for non-creative uses, and I believe there is a place for AI in creativity and entertainment.
I am here to take the road less traveled by.
❓ What are my models like?
Bottomline: My models are usually geared towards creativity (writing & interactivity), usability (no censorship & overalignment), and entertainment!
While intelligence, correctness, and problem solving are not my priority, they are still one of many qualities I want in my models.
The primary goal is to enhance the experience for users looking to use models for creative uses.
The subqualities I look for are the following:
Alignment: How far off is it from being a goody, syncopathic assistant-writer?
Writing: Does it string together words and sentences in a pleasant & effective way like a wordsmith?
Dynamism: How good is the AI at being compelling and intriguing in its storytelling?
Adherence: Is it sticking to the prompt?
Knowledge: Does it know about the world in both its truths and stories told?
Intelligence: Can it handle nuance, complexity, and logic?
Formatting: Is it biased towards writing paragraphs / lists or can it come up with its own?
If it doesn't excel in one of these qualities, or if it's overall mediocre for its size, then I would most likely reiterate until I get something right.
Skyfall 31B v4 is an upscaled version of Mistral Small 3.2 2507, now more efficient and creative!
Oooh damn, nailing the isekai card, coming up with military gear and everything. It seems a little more pliable and willing to go along with sudden changes in mood (grounded -> fantasy, or wholesome -> spicy).
Damn, it be cooking
The slop is amazingly low. Its the only model I've seen pull parts of context from like 3 exchanges before.
its really good, i use it for rp, chat, instructions, deep thoughts, goofy uncensored stuff
Oh my. This one is a [redacted]'s delight.
I find it funny that the tail is now a question mark.

Audrey told me the craziest thing she did was go on a blind date with a guy who had the same name as her pet hampster and all she could do was imagine the guy as a hampster in flannel. And if thats not agi idk what is
I really liked the 3rd person storywriting capability of this one. I ran a .7 temp and found it to be creative enough but not so much in lost track of the ability to describe a situation intelligently and character reactions and behaviors were always appropriate to either the card or specific prompting. This one reminded me a lot of the last Cydonia, and I think I like the writing on this one just a tad more but hard to explain why, they are both quite good models for sophisticated long form erp, imho.
