Thanks to Backyard.ai for the compute to train this. :)

Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4

This model has went through a multi-stage finetuning process.
```
- 1st, over a multi-turn Conversational-Instruct
- 2nd, over a Creative Writing / Roleplay along with some Creative-based Instruct Datasets.
- - Dataset consists of a mixture of Human and Claude Data.
```

Prompting Format:
```
- Use the L3 Instruct Formatting - Euryale 2.1 Preset Works Well
- Temperature + min_p as per usual, I recommend 1.4 Temp + 0.2 min_p.
- Has a different vibe to previous versions. Tinker around.
```

Changes since previous Stheno Datasets:
```
- Included Multi-turn Conversation-based Instruct Datasets to boost multi-turn coherency. # This is a seperate set, not the ones made by Kalomaze and Nopm, that are used in Magnum. They're completely different data.
- Replaced Single-Turn Instruct with Better Prompts and Answers by Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3 Opus.
- Removed c2 Samples -> Underway of re-filtering and masking to use with custom prefills. TBD
- Included 55% more Roleplaying Examples based of [Gryphe's](https://huggingface.co./datasets/Gryphe/Sonnet3.5-Charcard-Roleplay) Charcard RP Sets. Further filtered and cleaned on.
- Included 40% More Creative Writing Examples.
- Included Datasets Targeting System Prompt Adherence.
- Included Datasets targeting Reasoning / Spatial Awareness.
- Filtered for the usual errors, slop and stuff at the end. Some may have slipped through, but I removed nearly all of it.
```

Personal Opinions:
```
- Llama3.1 was more disappointing, in the Instruct Tune? It felt overbaked, atleast. Likely due to the DPO being done after their SFT Stage.
- Tuning on L3.1 base did not give good results, unlike when I tested with Nemo base. unfortunate.
- Still though, I think I did an okay job. It does feel a bit more distinctive.
- It took a lot of tinkering, like a LOT to wrangle this.
```

Below are some graphs and all for you to observe.

`Turn Distribution # 1 Turn is considered as 1 combined Human/GPT pair in a ShareGPT format. 4 Turns means 1 System Row + 8 Human/GPT rows in total.`
