1. Find your model's native INSTRUCT TEMPLATE. Every fine-tune stands on a base model, which is usually specified by its creator in a manner of "We're presenting the first fine-tune of Mistral Small" or "Nemo on steroids" or "LLAMA 3 with our special sauce" etc. It may be confusing, it may be clear. Not my fault :-P However, you need to identify the base model of a fine-tune by reading its description page. Different templates may be used by creators (tuners) for training - and then - templates suggested on a fine-tune's page work best. However, creators often just choose the basic template of a model they're tuning - so make sure to check the model's description page or assume it's using the base model's template (template of the main model that a given tuner is tuning). |
|
***<<< Most typical templates: Mistral, ChatML, Alpaca, Metharme/Pygmalion >>>*** |
|
2. Golden Rule: Match CONTEXT TEMPLATE (Story String) and INSTRUCT TEMPLATE with your model. For instance, when Mistral-Nemo fine-tune is using the Mistral Instruct Template (as specified by creator of a fine-tune) - pick up the "Sphiratrioth - Mistral [CONTEXT TEMPLATE]" file and "Sphiratrioth - Mistral [INSTRUCT TEMPLATE]" file. It's very easy. I keep my naming clear - both the file names and preset names inside of the Silly Tavern UI list when you load them up. They're always clear and distinguishable. |
|
***<<< This rule may be broken when you become the advanced user. Then, you'll know what you're doing so you'll mix different context/instruct templates. For now - one ring... khem - one template to rule them all. Don't be the Amazon Saur-off. Be a true Lord of the Templates.>>>***/ |

<h1>BEWARE:</h1> |
|
|
|
**IF YOU WANT THE PRESETS TO WORK PROPERLY, REMEMBER TO START A NEW CHAT FOR TESTING PURPOSES/ACTUAL ROLE-PLAY. WHEN YOU SWITCH THE PRESETS "HOT", YOU MAY EASILY FALL INTO A TRAP OF CONTINUING THE PREVIOUS PROMPT. IN RESULT, THE SHORT/BALANCED/LONG RESPONSES AND NARRATION IN 1st/3rd PERSON WILL NOT SWITCH. ALWAYS START A NEW CHAT. THEORETICALLY, SWITCHING A SYSTEM PROMPT FORCES THE PROMPT EVALUATION BUT IN REALITY - IT OFTEN BREAKS, IT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WORKS WHEN YOU START A NEW CHAT THOUGH - OR WHEN YOU RELOAD THE WHOLE SILLY TAVERN UI.** |

<h1>ANNOTATIONS:</h1> |
|
<li>*Context = Context Template = Story String (IN TERMS OF PRESETS)*</li> |
|
I'm simplifying here but people often get confused with names. Story String is a part of the Context Template - to be precise - but creators of models and presets use those terms as equivalents... |
|
<li>*Context = Context Length of a model (IN TERMS OF PROPER USE OF A WORD. PEOPLE SIMPLIFY AND USE MENTAL LEAPS. NOT MY FAULT, AGAIN :-P)</li> |
