Prima-24B

A larger character roleplay model trained on the custom "Actors" dataset, the largest I've ever made! This model was made to expand on the things I learned from TinyRP, and to overcome certain limitations I found from it; also on an entirely new dataset made just for this model.

This model does have a bit of AI-style writing, but is overall more reliable in it's outputs than the smaller Trouper-12B; also tolerates mismatched templates more. That said, I do think that it is worth releasing this model, especially since it's larger size will likely help it's knowledgebase / longer conversations.

IF you want less purple prose, and more emotionally intimate characters, do check out Trouper-12B.

Key Features

• Reliable: Consistent behavior without meta-breaks or template issues
• Grammatically consistent: Zero perspective confusion errors
• Long context: Better handling of 50+ turn conversations
• Action-oriented: Natural energy for adventure/action roleplay scenarios
• Zero-fuss setup: More forgiving of template variations

Recommended Settings

Use chat completion mode

• Temperature: 0.7 (tested and validated)
• Template: Mistral-V7-Tekken (critical for proper formatting and stop behavior)
• Context: Handles longer turn conversations effectively
• Prompt Preprocessing: Semi-strict, no tools

Strengths

• Reliability: No meta-narration breaks, consistent stopping behavior
• Template Flexibility: Works with various Mistral templates
• Long Context: Maintains quality over extended conversations
• Adventure Energy: Better at action-oriented, dynamic scenarios
• Accessibility: Easier to set up and use than Trouper

Comparison to Trouper-12B

Prima-24B and Trouper-12B are trained on identical data but offer different trade-offs:

Aspect	Prima-24B	Trouper-12B
Prose Style	Slightly more elaborate	Direct and concrete
AI Slop	Moderate (some patterns)	Minimal
Reliability	Excellent	Good (template-sensitive)
Long Context	Better (24B)	Good (12B)
Inference Speed	Slower (24B)	Faster (12B)
Setup Difficulty	Easy	Moderate (template critical)
Action RP	Excellent	Good
Emotional RP	Good	Excellent

Choose Prima-24B if: You want reliability, long context, or action-oriented RP
Choose Trouper-12B if: You want best prose quality and don't mind template setup or the occaisional regeneration of a reply.

Known Characteristics

• Prose Style: Tends toward slightly more elaborate descriptions (some users may perceive as "AI-ish")
• Repetitive Descriptors: May occasionally reuse phrases like "blue eyes" + descriptor
• Purple Prose: Occasional tendency toward flowery language (not excessive)
• Structural Patterns: Generally good variety, but slightly more predictable than Trouper-12B

None of these are critical flaws - just characteristics to be aware of. Temperature adjustments (0.8-0.9) may help increase variety.
