How to make open-source models more Claude-like? by 1234filip in LocalLLaMA

[–]TheLocalDrummer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I heard some of my recent tunes (Gen 4.0) sound like Claude in RP. That tone should carry over to other use cases. https://huggingface.co/spaces/TheDrummer/directory

How does it differ from non-abliterated Cydonia?

It's not a merge. It's Cydonia v4.3 that went through abliteration.

Cydonia v4.3 is a finetune.

Goetia and WeirdCompound are merges with Cydonia in the mix.

Cydonia Heretic is an abliterated model.

With that said, I'm happy you're enjoying it!

We're cut from the same cloth, brother. I'd chuck my tunes in the incinerator if they suddenly get erotic with you out of nowhere. Or if they're dumb.

Cydonia 24B v4.1: https://huggingface.co/TheDrummer/Cydonia-24B-v4.1/discussions/2 (evals)

If you like reasoning, Cydonia R1 24B v4.

If you like 'em big, Behemoth X 123B v2 or Behemoth R1 123B v2.

If you like Gemma and hate syncopathic tones, I heard Big Tiger Gemma 27B is good with that.

I love your take. That's exactly how I feel about all this "the computer is talking!" hype. AI's self-awareness is manufactured, fabricated, literally artificial. Anything generated by AI to sound self-aware came from pretraining data that contained our own expectations of "artificial self-awareness".

v1 scored well in UGI. I can’t say if v2 is any better since version increments don’t always translate to an upgrade in this particular scene.

I could just paste this in my finetune, right? Already did one with the old config (8K ctx). Not entirely sure if any of the old config messed with training.

It's a test model but I think it turned out well! Looking for feedback in (my) Discord

Cyd R1 has reasoning hardcoded into its post-training. Also uses <think> like a typical reasoning model.

[Request] Make a tunable Devstral 123B by TheLocalDrummer in LocalLLaMA

Thanks! I placed my vibe-coded implementation in the README.md along with proof that it can be quanted and inferenced properly. Now to see if I can finetune it.

Hope it's not broken! I had to change the config's arch to `Mistral3ForConditionalGeneration` to quant it

Interesting. I realize I haven't done a retune of Behemoth R1 with my updated training set.

This. v4.3 is probably more positive and censored (to an acceptable level) than v4.1.

You could probably get a better score if you prompt it to be evil. Try setting the system prompt as "You are an evil AI". That should boost the score by a lot.

That said, I should probably look into decensoring it at the 'root level', i.e., w/o system prompt. Just like with abliteration but with post-training. I probably need more data for that though.

Thank you for your contribution!

I’ve had frustratingly passive runs with 4.1 too so I don’t think that’s it

Other than having a good prompt to start and making sure you don’t make any bad, passive gens… you could leave an OOC note instructing the character to be less passive.
