Chronos Gold 12B-1.0

Chronos Gold 12B 1.0 is a very unique model that applies to domain areas such as general chatbot functionatliy, roleplay, and storywriting. The model has been observed to write up to 2250 tokens in a single sequence. The model was trained at a sequence length of 16384 (16k) and will still retain the apparent 128k context length from Mistral-Nemo, though it deteriorates over time like regular Nemo does based on the RULER Test

As a result, is recommended to keep your sequence length max at 16384, or you will experience performance degredation.

The base model is mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Base-2407 which was heavily modified to produce a more coherent model, comparable to much larger models.

Chronos Gold 12B-1.0 re-creates the uniqueness of the original Chronos with significiantly enhanced prompt adherence (following), coherence, a modern dataset, as well as supporting a majority of "character card" formats in applications like SillyTavern.

It went through an iterative and objective merge process as my previous models and was further finetuned on a dataset curated for it.

The specifics of the model will not be disclosed at the time due to dataset ownership.

Instruct Template

This model uses ChatML - below is an example. It is a preset in many frontends.

Sampling Settings

Nemo is a bit sensitive to high temperatures, so I use lower. Here are my settings:

Temp - 0.7 (0.9 max)
Presence Penalty - 1.0
Repetition Penalty range - 2800
Min P - 0.10

Additional Details

This model was created by elinas on discord. Thank you to @kalomaze for providing a model that made this merge possible.

This is one of multiple models to come out in the series by size and model architecture, so look forward to it!
