> [!WARNING]
> **General Use Sampling:**<br>
> Mistral-Nemo-12B is very sensitive to the temperature sampler, try values near **0.3** at first or else you will get some weird results. This is mentioned by MistralAI at their [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407#transformers) section.

> [!NOTE]
> **Best Samplers:**<br>
> I found best success using the following for Hollow-Tail-V1-12B:<br>
> Temperature: `1.2`<br>
> Top K: `-1`<br>
> Min P: `0.05`<br>
> Rep Penalty: `1.08`<br>

# Results
**Disclaimer**: This is a model merge!

Seems to be a bit smarter than I expected from my experience. May need a bit of guidance through system prompts at the beginning but it was quite fun to use. Though one thing I've realized with Mistral-Nemo is that the model does not really seem to end correctly, so instead I use the following format: <br>

Obviously this is just my personal experience but I find this to be a good setup, I strongly recommend you experiment with different system formats and see which is better for you. Note that none of these models are fine-tuned for this specific format, I believe most of them are fine-tuned on Mistral's original [INST] and [/INST] format or ChatML.
