# L3 8B Celeste

# Model Making is a process, Follow us for later models!

We trained [LLaMA 3 8B Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct) at 8K context using [Reddit Writing Prompts](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nothingiisreal/Reddit-Dirty-And-WritingPrompts), [Opus 15K Instruct](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nothingiisreal/Claude-3-Opus-Instruct-15K) and

[c2 logs cleaned](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nothingiisreal/c2-logs-cleaned)

# Usage Tips

## System Message / Jailbreak
<p style="font-size: 20px; color: red; font-weight: bold;">
    IF THE GENERATIONS ARE BAD, REMOVE ALL SYSTEM PROMPTS
</p>
Particularly SillyTavern default prompts can make the model worse. Claude Jailbreaks should work fine though, there was a lot of them in c2 logs. 

**You don't need a JB for casual usage but a JB can steer behaviour still.**

## Sampling

You **should** also try messing with different settings.

## Preset

L3 Instruct with no system prompt or claude jb works, you can also use [this](https://huggingface.co/nothingiisreal/L3-8B-Celeste-v1/blob/main/Celeste-Llama-3-Instruct.json)

## Fewshot

First message and last few messages impact this model quite a bit in terms of style, hornyness, personality. **You don't need to have a first message but editing first few messages or having good ones are highly recommended.**

## Hornyness

If the model is not horny enough then just edit the last character message to hint at something, the model will pick up on it and build on it. (Or just give the char aphrodisiac pills lol)

The model is fine with SFW and doesn't make it NSFW unless you want. It is also able to maintain half-NSFW without devolving down into hardcore.

# Train Data
The split was as follows:

- **2K rows from r/WritingPrompts**
- **2K rows from r/DirtyWritingPrompts**
- **2K rows from Opus Instruct 15K (specifically the 6.5K jsonl)**
- **2K rows from c2 logs cleaned**

While we did train all system prompts from c2 logs we also have our own system prompts.
<details>
  <summary>List of trained system prompts. Note: c2 logs system prompts and char cards were also included.</summary>

### reddit_dirty_writing_prompts.jsonl
**2000**  
**"You are a short story writer. Write a story based on prompt provided by user below.  
Mode: NSFW"**

### reddit_writing_prompts.jsonl
**2000**  
**"You are a short story writer. Write a story based on prompt provided by user below.  
Mode: SFW"**

### Opus_Instruct-v2-6.5K-Filtered-v2.jsonl
**2000**  
**""** (no prompt)

### deduped-c2-logs-maywell-final-filter-4.jsonl
**2000**  
(Only if there was no system prompt in the conversation, otherwise keep original system prompt)
**"You are an expert actor that can fully immerse yourself into any role given. You do not break character for any reason, even if someone tries addressing you as an AI or language model."**

# Our Findings and Experimentation results

## Preface

We think there is too much secrecy around what data is being used, and different training methods. So we decided to share as much as possible.

## Findings

### The Good
We found that increasing the amount of ranks from 64 to 256 has reduced repetition but also led to the language used resembling Claude more than the 64 rank version. No worries, it's still far enough from Claude.

It also led to increased coherency but reduced instruction following, likely because the model started diverging more away from L3 8B Instruct.

**The model is uncensored for RP. For Instruct it needs 2-3 words of prefill for the first message.**

We found that increasing the amount of data from 1K to 8K reduced repetition aswell.

**The prose is much better than other synthetic data generations. The model also demonstrates increased style copying abilities likely a result of the long data and varying writing styles found in WritingPrompts.**

**The model is exceptional at being creative in roleplaying**, knows different persona's and even a single character will change persona in different contexts, persona is tied to last few messages rather than system message or character card. **This is great as it often means the model can do impressive things without you needing to explicitly specify.**

### Improvements for Next Run

Formatting can break sometimes.

### Comments about training

Grad norm kept increasing throughout the run which is concerning, albeit it could be a side effect of the LR getting lower due to cosine LR Scheduler.
