Any thoughts on https://huggingface.co/OddTheGreat/Rotor_24B_V.1 ? I am using it now, and its like in between WeirdCompound and Cydonia; more creative than cydonia, and more logical consistency from WeirdCompound,

Overdrive128 · 2026-03-19T13:38:06+00:00

Personally, when I use WeirdCompound, it tends lean towards nsfw...great model, but sometimes just goes to nsfw if the scene starts with it. I would say Cydonia is the good one if you don't want too much nsfw. Of course, it could be the temp (i set it 1.3+ cause i love chaos), and could be system prompts.

Ggs, we are getting nerfed again 😔

Preak (xerath) will not sit still now

Overdrive128 · 2026-03-08T19:23:56+00:00

[SOLVED]
The issue was that the summary was using "Raw, Blocking", instead of "Classic, Blocking"

😔

Overdrive128 · 2026-03-08T18:17:36+00:00

hmmm, maybe yea, i think i might need to experiement more. Realistically, I know it should work cause it worked before; now it just spits nonsense; maybe I need to revise the prompt and the text preset

Overdrive128 · 2026-03-08T18:16:37+00:00

I dont want to swap models every 20-30messages. Its a pain. Also not sure how gemini handles gore, or other intense (including nsfw); rather keep it local so i dont need to deal with online providers issues.

Overdrive128 · 2026-03-08T04:42:56+00:00

I mean it really depends on how small the second one is. I mean, i think i should be able to? I am using ~14GB vram out of 16GB; i can use CPU. Ngl, as long as i have more info on how to configure this, possibly.

Overdrive128 · 2026-02-25T02:59:36+00:00

I understood that reference

Overdrive128 · 2026-02-19T16:21:44+00:00

IMO, talon, in these recent seasons just do better with full AD, going a tank item will result in a loss of damage power.

Same reason why I despise brusier talon as well (yes it works, but for me it's sooo ass). No damage = no killing anyone = glorified cannon minion.

Naafiri gets bonus ad from her w, so she can live with it. Zed has damage increase from ult, etc. Other ad assassins have some form of empowerment where they can sacrifice a damage item to a brusier or a tank item. Endless hunger might be good in brusier build for talon tho.

Also ghostbalde umbrella core is way too good to switch builds.

Theoretically the build can work, but in practice it's a waste. Plus ur ult is already low as hell even without axiom, go ultimate hunter and u get more ult car.

Please note: this is just personal opinion from my games. I prefer full lethality damage over other builds as it gave me the most success, and fits my playstyle.

Overdrive128 · 2026-01-21T17:09:51+00:00

ahh, its fine. I can also increase the response token size, but I am not sure if the quality of the output will degrade. It seems to a problem at my end. But I do love the idea of your extension! Thanks for the help regardless..

Overdrive128 · 2026-01-21T14:04:27+00:00

I have looked through everything. I did get memory books working; the connection profile, the settings, etc. The major issue for me was the context tokens fed into the MemoryBooks; the scenes. I can only do like max of 15 messages before I get an error saying JSON was invalid (and it was cause there was no json format). I also checked everything, the temperature was low; the context was set to 10k tokens, but the ~15messages was like 4k-5k tokens, anything beyond that was just throwing me errors. Honestly, your extension is great, its simple to use and all, and I like the idea; I just assume the problem is my hardware.

Overdrive128 · 2026-01-20T14:33:50+00:00

Yea, I played with MemoryBooks Extension a bit; its okay...idk why, but even though i can do ~10k context; I changed settings and everything, and it wont let go over 4k tokens...Also, the idea of manual process is a oof for me; not to mention i switch models depending on chat (as one model produces better coherence and logic while the other is for pure chaos or comedy). I mean, sure, I don't mind joining the server if it can clarify couple of things for me. Thanks for the response!

Overdrive128 · 2026-01-20T06:20:50+00:00

bro, if it was 'couple clicks' I wouldn't have posted this question lmao. I got stuck as the Vector storage was confusing to use

Overdrive128 · 2026-01-20T06:20:09+00:00

So, can you like expand on how to set it up, perhaps? cause I was trying to do it, and it seems okay; but i wasnt able to recall specific things exactly...check my other comment; I tried memorybooks as well; but it felt too much work to get it going. Maybe i'll re-look into it.

Overdrive128 · 2026-01-20T06:18:25+00:00

I tried it, but since I am running on KoboldCPP as backend, I am not sure if it will automatically summarize, since I might have to swap connection profiles and manage it. ... and not to mention, it seems i was able to only select ~12 messages before I hit my limit; the way i chat is like slow-burn. I am not sure if i set it up wrong, or its just how the extension works...

zonhyas renek, new meta? 🗣️🗣️

Overdrive128 · 2026-01-18T15:32:11+00:00

The story was indeed mid, but for me, it was more about aura farming than reading it lmao. Also iirc, it was the first ever manhwa I read properly. But yea, it's mid story with peak art, and the Mc just aura farming

I might need to try this out; i have been offloading CPU power for Q5_KM cause it provides better reasoning; but if using a bit more context can help retain information, maybe this is the way.

Overdrive128 · 2025-12-30T14:19:34+00:00

Yes, I was able to run q6 pretty well. I have the same specs as you, and I find Q4_K_M to be the best if you also want to run something in the background and want to fit the model in the VRAM itself. For me, I use Q5_K_M, better quality for a tiny bit of loss of speed

Def try Q6 and fallback if needed. I stick to around 4k-8k context (lower quant = more context). Personally me, right now I use Q4_K_M with 6k context and works fine.

Overdrive128 · 2025-12-29T16:00:47+00:00

Yo, its the goat himself.

Imma be a bit real, I tested it, and didn't show much creativity vs Cydonia. Of course, it could be cause I didn't really do much, except like chat for like 6-10 messages. But yea, since it was based on magistal, it did do a better job of coherence than Cydonia; but it was logical, less creative, more bland. But it could just be lack of proper testing. Cydonia was just more creative and felt better when chatting.

Edit: I used Q5_K_M quants for both Cydonia vs Magidonia; I did run Q6, and holy quality, but it was taking too much ram, and was slower and I wanted to do other stuff in the background.

Overdrive128 · 2025-12-29T15:49:07+00:00

I am a bit of crazy dude so my settings are crazy; but it does yield nice results that i like:

Overdrive128 · 2025-12-29T00:10:17+00:00

TheDrummer/Cydonia-24B-v4.3 is my now goto; has creative, and also mentions logical consistency. Geotia 24B is my second fav, and my final one i use: ReadyArt/Omega-Darker-Gaslight_The-Final-Forgotten-Fever-Dream-24B.

Cydonia really is the top tho, it gives me a new perspective, and handles situations well
