HUZZAH, a model that's actually good! Just took seven tries. Fixed spacial understanding and literacy, toned down a little of the clingy instruct following, and more turn based RP forward.

### Quants

[A few GGUFs](https://huggingface.co/kromquant/L3.1-Siithamo-v0.4-8B-GGUFs) by me.

### Details & Recommended Settings

(Still testing; details subject to change)

Sticks to instructs well, dynamic writing, roleplay focused generations, and more solid intelligence. Less rambley though still outputs a bit of text. Has near perfect recall up to 
32K. Be clear and explicit with model instructs, including the intended format (Asterix, quotes, etc).

Rec. Settings:
```
Template: L3
Temperature: 1.3
Min P: 0.1
Repeat Penalty: 1.05
Repeat Penalty Tokens: 256
Dyn Temp: 0.9-1.05 at 0.1
Smooth Sampl: 0.18
```

### Merge Theory

This sucked. Repalce RP Hermes back with Edgerunners Lyraea and swapped Niitama with L3.1 Niitama.
