Yeah not local but I use it to create tools for local models.

>>108829929
claude 1 was a more unhinged and creative alternative to OG gpt4
opus 3 is the undisputed peak of erp models
it's been downhill since, anything past 4.5 has been complete shit in terms of creativity and rp

>>108829929
They have no moat. Codex is better than whatever claude code do and their dynamic quantization and low availability isn't helping their case.

>>108829950
I see.
It's a victim of corporatization and benchmaxxing.

gpt is pretty much unusable for me, claude just works, and gemini picks up the slack when i run out of claude free tokens. but they are all retarded, its just gpt is the most useless of the retards.

I'm using 26B Gemma most of time because I'm poor and I live in India too. When I tell it to "Tell me something nice" most of the time, even between server restarts, it tells the same thing about how our bodies are made out of stardust and some other variation.

>I'm poor and I live in India

>>108830003
Yes :( This is why I use Gemma 4 26B.

>>108829998
gemma is very deterministic in that even when you fully reprocess the context, it'll spit out a very limited range of responses. some will be word for word the same even. it has less variation than nemo or mistral small 24b. and thats the 31b - the 24b is a4 so even if its pretty good as a model, its going to amplify the issues

It really isn't nostalgia, huh? Old models are just better. Having 10 different utility instructions didn't even matter (like what this post talks about >>108826314). The model produced good outputs regardless. I'm going to put myself into a coma. Wake me up when these shit ass companies actually train their models on good data again.

>>108830020

>-override-kv gemma4.final_logit_softcapping=float:25.0
Not sure if it works with the moe anyway.

>>108830047
not that i'm aware of. when my rp stalls i've been using ooc messages to steer it, or edit the last response a bit so it catches on to something new for the story. gemma follows directions well so telling it to move the story along works. gemma is a good series of models but not as creative as even nemo in most cases, but it follows directions better so its easier to boot in the butt to get it to do what you want

>>108830064
Love the shit out of command-r but older models are a coin flip whether they listen to your instructions at all
Conversely something like Gemma will listen but is barely subtle about it, often reusing exact words you put as a suggestion in the prompt, but at least it does integrate what you want it to
Also Gemma is deep fried to shit and has terrible probs variety

>>108829812
>perceived telemetry
What makes it "perceived"?

>>108830064
Yes, obviously. Old models (well not all old ones) are simply just less slopped and more creative. The issue is they're slow, and still not smart enough.

>>108830106
what bro, you don't have rtx 6000 pro to have gemma write the first draft and command-r to unslop it?

>>108830064
i still keep l3 70b tunes around and use them to start my rps. they have old slop like shivers down your spine, voices barely above a whisper, but they move stories along much better than newer models seem to.

all my best rps now are done with multiple models. use 70b to fill the first 32k tokens or so because it grounds the story, writing style. then i load up smaller models.

>>108830109
Command-r has like 8k context window, lel.

>>108830122
I mean, you don't have to feed it the entire convo, the last message to rewrite it is enough. Doesn't make it much less stupid, but still.

>>108830020
what is crazy about glm is that if you give it the first word of a sentence it will usually spit out the same sentence everytime. but if you reroll the whole message it does give very different responses (speaking of only sane use: ERP) probably only because distribution after "." becomes less deterministic.

It didn't affect at all.
Okay enough spam, I'm sorry.
Not.

>>108830347
i think its actual issue is what people call "overfitting". they claim its good for like 140 languages. but we're talking about 31b, theres no way you can cram that much crap into such such a small model.

if they had trained gemma just on english, there would be a lot more variation in the tokens. its also why gemma is more prone to fucking something up with banned strings - i've seen chinese characters pop up when i banned a single word. even nemo wouldn't fuck that up.

>>108830323
Somebody explain softcap to me.

If anyone here is using SillyBunny, do you know how to set it up so the messages only appear after the agent pass?
Having an agent do the editing is nice but if I'm staring at the original message while the edited one is cooking then it kinda defeats the purpose

>>108830382
>but if you reroll the whole message it does give very different responses
this is because you're reprocessing the entire context. it should give a very different response. its not the same thing as swiping and letting it generate a response from the kv cache you already have.

what i'm saying about gemma is even when you do that full reroll of context reprocessing, gemma almost always comes back with a similar reply, sometimes even writing the exact same dialog during. gemma's entire scope of what it can do is narrow compared to like mistral small 24b. its a great model though, i'm enjoying the hell out of it

I gave up on the 400k token hentai script challenge yesterday cause it was already late in the night. Gonna try it now. But before I ran it I tried just letting it continue some regular ERP and I really like it.

Can't wait for proper flash integration in December.

>>108830421
Never had 4.6 or 4.7 reprocess whole context.

>>108830442
in general you have to force it to reprocess. my ez way of doing it is to just hit next message in st. when i see hit my koboldcpp window and begin to process, i cancel it. then i just swipe right in st like normal. it forces it reprocess all of the lorebook/rag stuff and history, and gives you a different response than if you just swiped in the first place. this works for all models

>>108830492
in this case youre breaking a rule of ai - don't be repetitive yourself. when you type /regen for a second or third time, the ai is seeing the previous tries in the history and smaller models especially become fixated on that. delete all the retries/fails and give it some [ooc: do this] to boot it in the ass

the moment you get multiple replies of the same thing because you barely input anything, you're poisoning your rp and its especially bad with small models (and moes)

Increase temperature and use XTC to perturb. If the model is very stable you have to kick it's ass to make it ring and Gemmy is very stable.

Empty system prompt, Gemma does seem to have sea otters on the brain.

>>108830544
if you're positive the command cuts off stuff, thats a good way to handle things.

>>108830546
the problem usually isnt a command its the fact that ai cares about the last context, and in small models, when you have like 2 messages that are bad, you can't just say "no, you fucked up, do it this way" because the ai is fixated on those last failed messages. it can't break out of its loop. i actually notice this mostly in code models when they do something wrong and you try to tell it about it - even qwen 2.5 32b coder is WAY better than the modern moe version. its better simply because i can talk to it, say it did this or that wrong, and it fixes it. with these modern 4b active models, you can't do that at all. this extends to rp somewhat too in how smart models are

Ask Gemma 4 to generate a list of female fantasy names, every time it does that Elara is the first one on the list.

>>108830395
It's effectively just another meme sampler that cuts off bad tokens and sometimes restricts output by also cutting off less probable good tokens. The problem is that gemma doesn't have a lot of token alternatives, so when you lower softcap it just lets bad tokens through.

My point was that this isn't just a Gemma issue, you dinguses. Gemma is quite set in its ways, but you're acting like you're discovering slop for the first time. All models do this shit.
It's especially silly to me for the guy who's asking to be told something nice. You know the model can't see what it's told you before, right? 99% of models ever made will give you one of the same 3 fun facts to that question, even if they might vary model-to-model what those 3 rotating facts are.

>>108830714
Gemma 4 is more like Z image, it's fried with loras or something. It's not bad, it's a great model for its size. Instruction following always comes with a price.

Maybe this is pure insanity but what if you had a dynamic "global logit bias" that operated cross conversation? You could apply increasingly negative bias to overly repetitive things, and I guess some kind of decay would need to exist as well so they aren't eliminated completely.

How are you gonna identify what's a "repetitive thing" and what's actually just English? This is not something that can be done programmatically. And as the other anon mentioned, the banning part is also unreliable. As of now we have nothing except for workarounds in the frontend.

DRY explicitly does not work for that kind of thing because it applies after a set number of tokens. If the user says "give me an explanation" then DRY does nothing to stop the AI from going "explanation?" or whatever because it's just one or two tokens. DRY defaults to allowing 2 token or less repetition without penalty, and setting it lower will typically just create incoherent outputs. It's not made to stop repetition in that manner.

I think it was a disaster on launch in many ways and rightfully mocked. I canceled my preorder back then. But a lot of hobbyists and ML researchers seem to have the thing on their desks and are working around on the shortcomings, like porting kernels to the awkward 12.1 compute capability and sharing vllm patches/recipes to make the latest features work.

I mostly wanted it to be able to run mid-sized MoEs like MiniMax-v2.7/GLM 4.6 at INT4 quants and decent speeds, and it does the job pretty well. Gemma 4 dense FP8 or Image Get results are too embarrassing to share, this is clearly not the architecture for it.

People will shell out for the DGX spark, and the Mac Mini and Strix Pro. Just like people shelled out for a downgraded Quarto card back in 2016 just to play Witcher3. There's just not enough options and no one wants to wait.

>>108831390
>now I get mad when a 70b model running on my laptop doesn't perfectly follow the prompt

try 'Strawberrylemonad', its a l3 70b frankenmerge. its very good at surprising you

For those who are curious, here's an update on the project with VLM webpage OCR with html extraction prepended for ngram speculative boosting. I got it working. The results initially were that it didn't have high enough draft acceptance rate with my existing Llama.cpp flags. I usually get 20 t/s regularly, while the OCR task got 23-ish. Meanwhile, if I tell a model to copy some text verbatim, I can get almost 300 t/s which is crazy.

The primary issue is that because the model is generating markdown, that invalidates a lot of ngrams. Because the HTML extraction doesn't have such formatting, and a lot of times, it really can't. I think the solution to this would be some kind of API parameter to tell the server to make the ngrams go to paragraph boundaries. So basically if an ngram is found, instead of batching to the max ngram size, batch to the remaining size of the paragraph.

In lieu of such a solution, I just prompt the model to not generate markdown, which I suppose is mostly fine, but probably loses some information/nuance. With this method, I am able to get much higher acceptance rate. On a test article, I got 137 t/s, which is really great and about what I see with some small OCR models. The only real issue now is that the mmproj processing for an image adds latency and makes this slower than just calling a cloud VLM. Oh well.

What's currently the best for lewd writing? I tried Gemma 4, can do some okay dialogue but the way it describes actions are so basic it's like a robot is doing it. I tried an uncensored abliterated based on ChatGPT, I think it's also Heretic mixed with others, but it's STILL censored after a few paragraphs. I'm trying an abliterated thing based on Opus 4.6 now, it always devolves to just 2-sentence paragraphs that are 90% dialogue for some reason. But it's the best one so far. I want writing with personality and expressiveness.

Gemma, if you tell her not to.

I feel like there should be a way better way to do what ngram does. There should be repetition vectors in an LLM right? If we can detect that, then we can set speculative decoding to increase batch up until a newline or some other boundary condition, when detecting the vector.

Being able to make this dumbshit model not break json brings me such joy.

>>108832796
If you understand the patterns of these models, you can wrangle them pretty hard, specially by not letting them do whatever they want after a line break.
Also, you might want to stuff an example of the template somewhere like the system prompt or whatever to help steer the model towards where the grammar is gonna force the model to go.

>>108832804
Grammar/structured output/json output is fucking sick.
If what you want is json, there's a specific way to do that with llama.cpp by sending the json schema in the request object. That way you don't even have to write raw BNF. Llama.cpp will do the conversion for you.

>>108832736
>No fucking idea
It's multiplicative. 1.5 would penalize the offending token, 0.5 would make it more likely to show up. I don't know if < 1 works or even make sense. That's why 1.0 would have no reason to fix it, nor make it worse. Whatever difference you saw was in your own head or simply luck during sampling.
If you don't post all your settings, it'll be even harder to diagnose your issue.

Plenty of anons can use it just fine. It's a (You) problem.

The problem was that specifically for the Spark, Nvidia overhyped it for more than it was and shat out its support while dragging their feet on support that should've been there, including for the original reason they pitched this which was server Blackwell on your desktop. The fact that tmem, WGMMA ,and tcgen05 is missing is criminal for them to advertise that you would get the same features as the server grade hardware. Letting them go on this is tantamount to letting Jensen rip you off for no reason.

I wish I were brave enough to buy a spare 5090 for my main pc to do some mild LLM stuff without having to boot up my main server.
However, I am not brave enough to have a potential house fire card run 24/7 even if it's idling half that time.

the dgx spark memeboxes with 273GB/s memory are memory speed bounded and only get like 15 tg/s on gemma 31b

It doesn't matter cause dgx spark is intended for bigger models than gemma.

Bigger models than gemma, but also no actual big models because 128gb and horrible bandwidth that won't work for anything bigger than 12b active anyway

I was in it for the tech and so engrossed in the hobby it didn't even occur to me to yolo my life's savings and a reverse morgage on NVDA on 3x margin. I will never live down this regret.

chinese llm users have recently been in a huge uproar about certain llm slop phrases infecting all the replies they get
they are waking up to the issue, at this rate the models from the second half of 2026 will be all about eliminating slop and making models better writers

>>108833446
does less slopped writing for random shitters increase shareholder value more than squeezing out even the most minimal gains in code and tool callan? I kind of doubt it.

>>108833446
Good. Now we just need to get the chinese masses to stop numberfagging about benchmarks.

>>108833530
Insane anti-race-realism here. You're never going to convince a Chinese person to have taste. It's just not going to happen.

This "advanced" prompting is pretty cool but very token heavy and makes Gemmy think for a long time. Would probably be better with MTP.

if your prompt is more than a jailbreak and a 300 token card you are likely indian

Prompting seems like a meme. Most models (even reasoners) just ignore instructions. If I want a model to follow a rule I usually have to copy-paste it 10-20 times in sequence hoping that this makes the model acknowledge it.

hmmm running tensor parallel 5070ti 16gb + 5060ti 16gb speeds generation up from ~18 to ~23t/s but slows down prompt processing by half ~1.5k to ~800 when compared to layer splits.

When prompt processing happens, the 5070ti is only utilized about 50% of the time, while the 5060ti is at full 100, which makes sense because the former is literally double in actual performance compared to the latter.

How can I tell if the bottleneck is my PCI here? Can I assume that this is not the case given that the 5060ti is being used at full util? I have another PCIe slot that should be running at 4 lanes, I wonder if I can slot one more 5060ti in there

>>108834217
then you use gemma and you start to wish it didnt follow instructions to the letter like it does sometimes
>some card has a badly worded instruction that translates into an annoying verbal tick
>complain about it
>get a "whats wrong about it, leave me alone"
>does it again soon after
>complain again, explicitly tell it to stop
>get told to fuck off
>keeps doing it
fuck you too gemma
