**A) Sphiratrioth (Short)** - minimal narration - when you want to simulate a natural, human-like conversation with a bot. For those who do not like the "verbose" role-play. ***<<< conversation-like, ~ 150 tokens, around 2/3 dialogue against 1/3 narration >>>***B) Sphiratrioth (Balanced) - balanced RP - when you want to experience a balanced role-play with responses around 1-2 paragraphs. <<< 1 short paragraph, ~ 250 tokens, around 50/50 balance in dialogues against narration >>>
C) Sphiratrioth (Story) - AI becomes your Game Master (GM) - when you want those long, verbose paragraphs with rich narration & story-telling.
<<< 1-3 paragraphs, ~ 350 tokens, around 2/3 narration against 1/3 dialogues >>>
How to use:
Advanced Users: Load them up under a "capital A" tab (AI Response Formatting) of the Silly Tavern UI. Enjoy, modify, forget.
Beginner Users: Read further. Those templates should provide what you're looking for.
- Find your LLM (model) 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 a fine-tune of Mistral Small" or "Nemo on steroids" 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 better. 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 >>>
- 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, Tolkien's Lord of the Templates.>>>/
