## Resources - [**Opus V1 prompting guide**](https://dreamgen.com/docs/models/opus/v1) with many (interactive) examples and prompts that you can copy. - [**Google Colab**](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1J178fH6IdQOXNi-Njgdacf5QgAxsdT20?usp=sharing) for interactive role-play using `opus-v1.2-7b`. - [Python code](example/prompt/format.py) to format the prompt correctly. - Join the community on [**Discord**](https://dreamgen.com/discord) to get early access to new models. story writing on dreamgen.com ## Prompting
The models use an extended version of ChatML. ``` <|im_start|>system (Story description in the right format here) (Typically consists of plot description, style description and characters)<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user (Your instruction on how the story should continue)<|im_end|> <|im_start|>text names= Alice (Continuation of the story from the Alice character)<|im_end|> <|im_start|>text (Continuation of the story from no character in particular (pure narration))<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user (Your instruction on how the story should continue)<|im_end|> <|im_start|>text names= Bob (Continuation of the story from the Bob character)<|im_end|> ``` The Opus V1 extension is the addition of the `text` role, and the addition / modification of role names. Pay attention to the following: - The `text` messages can (but don't have to have) `names`, names are used to indicate the "active" character during role-play. - There can be multiple subsequent message with a `text` role, especially if names are involved. - There can be multiple names attached to a message. - The format for names is `names= {{name[0]}}; {{name[1]}}`, beware of the spaces after `names=` and after the `;`. This spacing leads to most natural tokenization for the names.
While the main goal for the models is great story-writing and role-playing performance, the models are also capable of several writing related tasks as well as general assistance. Here's how you can prompt the model for the following tasks ### Steerable [Story-writing](https://dreamgen.com/docs/models/opus/v1#task-story-writing) and [Role-playing](https://dreamgen.com/docs/models/opus/v1#task-role-playing): - Input: - System prompt: You provide story / role-play description, which consists of: - Plot description - Style description - Characters and their descriptions - Conversation turns: - Text / message turn: This represents part of the story or role play - Instruction: This tells the model what should happen next - Output: Continuation of the story / role-play. ### [Story plot summarization](https://dreamgen.com/docs/models/opus/v1#task-plot-description) - Input: A story, or a few chapters of a story. - Output: A description of the story or chapters.

The story is a dark fantasy set in the city of Susran, where an ancient and powerful magician named Malygris dwells in a tower atop a conical hill. Malygris, who has mastered all forms of sorcery and necromancy, is plagued by a deep sense of ennui and melancholy. He seeks solace in the memory of Nylissa, a girl he once loved in his youth. One day, Malygris decides to summon Nylissa's spirit from the grave using his necromantic powers. He performs the necessary rituals and incantations, and Nylissa appears before him as a ghostly apparition. However, as Malygris gazes upon her, he becomes increasingly disillusioned. He notices subtle changes in her appearance and behavior that do not match his memories of her. He begins to question whether this is truly the same Nylissa he once knew, or if it is just another illusion conjured by his magic. As Malygris grapples with this uncertainty, he becomes increasingly despondent and disillusioned with life itself. He realizes that even his magic cannot bring back the past or make him truly happy. In the end, he dismisses Nylissa's spirit and returns to his lonely tower, resigned to his fate as an old and weary sorcerer.

The article discusses the recent human deaths from diseases transmitted by animals, specifically Alaskapox and bubonic plague. Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and former Baltimore health commissioner, explains the various ways household pets can transmit diseases to humans. These include fecal-oral transmission, scratches and bites, and vector-borne diseases like ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes. Wen emphasizes the importance of vaccinating pets, maintaining cleanliness, and taking commonsense precautions to reduce disease transmission. She also advises that individuals who are immunocompromised, babies, and pregnant women should take additional care when interacting with animals.

### [Story character description](https://dreamgen.com/docs/models/opus/v1#task-char-description) - Input: A story, or a few chapters of a story, set of characters. - Output: A description of the characters. ### [Story style description](https://dreamgen.com/docs/models/opus/v1#task-style-description) - Input: A story, or a few chapters of a story. - Output: A description the style of the story. ### [Story description to chapters](https://dreamgen.com/docs/models/opus/v1#task-story-description-to-chapter-descriptions) - Input: A brief plot description and the desired number of chapters. - Output: A description for each chapter. ### And more... ### Sampling params For story-writing and role-play, I recommend "Min P" based sampling with `min_p` in the range `[0.01, 0.1]` and with `temperature` in the range `[0.5, 1.5]`, depending on your preferences. A good starting point would be `min_p=0.1; temperature=0.8`. You may also benefit from setting presence, frequency and repetition penalties, especially at lower temperatures. ## Dataset The fine-tuning dataset consisted of ~100M tokens of steerable story-writing, role-playing, writing-assistant and general-assistant examples. Each example was up to 31000 tokens long. All story-writing and role-playing examples were based on human-written text. ![token count distribution](images/token_count_cum__token_bucket.png) ## Running the model The model is should be compatible with any software that supports the base model, but beware of prompting and tokenization. I recommend using these model versions: - 7B: [no quant (opus-v1.2-7b)](https://huggingface.co/dreamgen/opus-v1.2-7b) - 34B: [no quant (opus-v1-34b)](https://huggingface.co/dreamgen/opus-v1-34b) or [awq (opus-v1-34b-awq)](https://huggingface.co/dreamgen/opus-v1-34b-awq) ### Running on DreamGen.com (free) You can run the models on [dreamgen.com](https://dreamgen.com) for free — you can use the built-in UI for story-writing & role-playing, or use [the API](https://dreamgen.com/docs/api). ### Running Locally - **Make sure your prompt is as close as possible to the Opus V1** - Regardless of which backend you use, it's important that you format your prompt well and that the tokenization works correctly. - [Read the prompt guide](https://dreamgen.com/docs/models/opus/v1) - [Read the prompt formatting code](example/prompt/format.py) - Make sure `<|im_start|>` and `<|im_end|>` are tokenized correctly - **vLLM** - [**Google Colab**](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1J178fH6IdQOXNi-Njgdacf5QgAxsdT20?usp=sharing): This is a simple interactive Google Colab to do role-play with the 7B model, it should fit on the T4 GPU. - [Code](example/prompt/interactive.py): This is simple script for interactive chat for one hard-coded scenario. - **SillyTavern** - [Settings](https://huggingface.co/dreamgen/opus-v1.2-7b/tree/main/configs/silly_tavern), v2 kindly provided by @MarinaraSpaghetti - [Settings screenshot](configs/silly_tavern/settings_screenshot.webp) - This is just an attempt at approximating the Opus V1 prompt, it won't be perfect - **LM Studio** - [Config](configs/lmstudio/preset.json) - Just like ChatML, just changed "assistant" to "text" role. - **There's a bug** in LM Studio if you delete a message or click "Continue", [see here for details](https://discord.com/channels/1110598183144399058/1212665261128417280/1212665261128417280). - **HuggingFace** - [Chat template](tokenizer_config.json#L51) - Just like ChatML, just changed "assistant" to "text" role. ## Known Issues - **34B repetition**: - The 34B sometimes gets stuck repeating the same word, or synonyms. This seems to be a common problem across various Yi 34B fine-tunes. - **GGUF**: - The tokenization might be messed up. Some users reported that `<|im_start|>` and `<|im_end|>` are tokenized as multiple tokens. Also llama.cpp may not tokenize correctly (the Yi tokenizer is subtly different from the Llama 2 tokenizer). ## License - This model is intended for personal use only, other use is not permitted.
