How do you make the Yi models work for you? I find them super sub par so far.

I’m really digging https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/PsyMedRP-v1-20B-GGUF for storytelling. I wish I could use a higher GGUF but it’s all that I can manage atm.

for 2.) I like dolphin 2.1 and mythomist-7b

The little guys just can’t beat the bigboys it seems. Time to upgrade, lol.

Thanks. Another one that I’ve been testing out and is showing great potential is mythomist-7b

Downloaded this one a while ago, will be fun to see how it does.

Agreed, I tried Yi-Dolphin too, it just didn’t have the same charisma as dolphin 2.1 in my opinion.

Nice, thanks. Is this the one you are referring to?:

Haven’t tried that one actually, thanks for the heads up, off to download now. Yeah I also like the older Dolphin to the newer one myself, the newere one feels a little more ‘muffled’ in a sense.
