My favorite model list
Here I have collected models that I have enjoyed and that I actively use for RP or creativity
Updated • 2.67k • 13Note Based on Ministral 8B! Impressive rp experience with this model, character card understanding is good but there can be small mistakes. Recommended presets https://huggingface.co./MarinaraSpaghetti/SillyTavern-Settings/tree/main/Customized/Metharmer_Pygmalion (Use this in Master Import in SillyTavern) Creator @TheDrummer
Lewdiculous/L3-TheSpice-8b-v0.8.3-GGUF-IQ-Imatrix
Updated • 279 • 15Note This is the first L3 model I have used in RP. Very good made and perfect for rp conversations. A great understanding of the context and an unforgettable experience in communication. With proper customization of instructions and character cards, this model can bring you to your knees. For me personally, it's a replacement for character.ai. Creator @cgato
Lewdiculous/Nyanade_Stunna-Maid-7B-v0.2-GGUF-IQ-Imatrix
Updated • 1.5k • 45Note Creative and interesting model, great for RP but requires proper settings. My favorite. Understanding of character cards is good but not perfect, will do. I recommend use DRY to reduce repetitions instead of Rep.Penalty. My settings DRY base 1.75 DRY multiplier 0.8 Creator @ChaoticNeutrals
SanjiWatsuki/Kunoichi-DPO-v2-7B
Text Generation • Updated • 846 • 82Note Best model of the past generation. Pretty creative and intelligent. For rp on an amateur, too much literary prose and gets carried away with long text. Understanding of character maps is good. Creator @SanjiWatsuki
KatyTheCutie/LemonadeRP-4.5.3
Text Generation • Updated • 234 • 48Note One of the good rp models of the past generation. Hot enough but not without excessive prose. Understanding of char cards +- good. In general, very wind up and creative you can try it. Creator @KatyTheCutie
Lewdiculous/L3-8B-Stheno-v3.2-GGUF-IQ-Imatrix
Updated • 15.4k • 117Note A successful model compared to the Stheno 3.1 version. On the plus side, the model is more attentive and respects context better, good understanding of space. Very good in RP, but also likes to get carried away with purple prose and long text. Excellent understanding of character cards. I recommend using Virt-io presets, or MarinaraSpaghetti, and sampler MinP, DRY (XTC at discretion). Creator @Sao10K
icefog72/WestIceLemonTeaRP-32k-7b
Text Generation • Updated • 36 • 10Note Just a good model, follows the character cards very well provided you customize them well. In the long run rp is a great option. Works in two formats Alpaca and ChatML, good text formatting. Creator @icefog72
Lewdiculous/L3.1-8B-Niitama-v1.1-GGUF-IQ-Imatrix
Updated • 379 • 16Note Someone said: "Better than Lunaris, which in turn was better than Stheno 3.2." I agree with this, when it comes to L3 Niitama v1. Specifically this 1.1 model may be worse compared to the previous Niitama version, but it's pretty good too. Anyway, subjectively speaking, for me it's better than Stheno 3.2 in many ways. Try this, especially the Niitama v1 version and you probably won't regret it. Creator @Sao10K
tannedbum/L3-Nymeria-8B-iGGUF
Updated • 22 • 7Note Stheno 3.2 but is more sharpened for intelligence and realism. A little less into prose than Stheno. It's a good model and probably underrated, try it. Also try the Nymeria-Maid.
ArliAI/Llama-3.1-8B-ArliAI-RPMax-v1.1-GGUF
Updated • 844 • 13Note You will definitely find this model different from all the others. A good understanding of character cards, a unique RP style that will not leave you without attention. Creator @ArliAI
