QwQ-32B-Snowdrop-v0

Has's notes: it's actually pretty damn good?!

Severian's notes: R1 at home for RP, literally. Able to handle my cards with gimmicks and subtle tricks in them. With a good reasoning starter+prompt, I'm getting consistently-structured responses that have a good amount of variation across them still while rerolling. Char/scenario portrayal is good despite my focus on writing style, lorebooks are properly referenced at times. Slop doesn't seem to be too much of an issue with thinking enabled. Some user impersonation is rarely observed. Prose is refreshing if you take advantage of what I did (writing style fixation). I know I said Marigold would be my daily driver, but this one is that now, it's that good.

Recommended settings

Context/instruct template: ChatML. Was definitely not tested with ChatML instruct and Mistral v7 template, nuh-uh.

Samplers: temperature at 0.9, min_p at 0.05, top_a at 0.3, TFS at 0.75, repetition_penalty at 1.03, DRY if you have access to it.

A virt-io derivative prompt worked best during our testing, but feel free to use what you like.

Reasoning

Feel free to test whichever reasoning setup you're most comfortable with, but here's a recommendation from me. My prompt has a line that says:

Style Preference: Encourage the usage of a Japanese light novel writing style.

Deciding to fixate on that, my reasoning starter is:

<think>Okay, in this scenario, before responding I need to consider the writing style referenced in the prompt, which is

What this did for me, at least during testing is that it gave the reasoning a structure to follow across rerolls, seeking out that part of the prompt consistently. See below:

But the responses were still varied, because the next few paragraphs after these delved into character details, so on and so forth. Might want to experiment and make your own thinking/reasoning starter that focuses on what you hope to get out of the responses for best results.
