# StarDust-12b-v1

## GGUF Quants

[Luni/StarDust-12b-v1-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/Luni/StarDust-12b-v1-GGUF/tree/main)

(This is made by me, I'm slowly figuring out how to quant them)

## Description | Usecase

The result of this merge is in my opinion a more vibrant and less generic sonnet inspired prose, it's able to be gentle and harsh where asked.
I've personally been trying to get a more spice while also compensating for the Magnum-v2.5 having the issue on my end that it simply won't stop yapping.

- This model is intended to be used as a Role-playing model.
- Its direct conversational output is... I can't even say it's luck, it's just not made for it.
- Extension to Conversational output: The Model is designed for roleplay, direct instructing or general purpose is NOT recommended.

## Prompting
Both Mistral and ChatML should work though I had better results with ChatML:
ChatML Example:
```py
"""<|im_start|>user
Hi there!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Nice to meet you!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Can I ask a question?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
"""
```
