FAQ for those out-of-the-loop

🐶 Who is Drummer?

Hi! I'm Drummer. I'm a Software Engineer with experience in JavaScript, Golang, Python, and generally engineering the crap out of things.

Why I'm in the AI space:

Exploration: Everyone is trying to figure out how AI works and what it's capable of. I am too - just not in creating the smartest, safest model at all costs.
Upskill: The world is headed towards AI. It is here to stay. This has been my way of brushing up in this new form of computing challenge.
Value: I yearn to create value. I feel satisfaction and fulfillment in providing something meaningful for others.
Fun: It's just fun using and making models. It's also fun coming up with theories and realizing them in practice (training AI).

I started my tuning venture back in mid-2024 when I wanted to improve its literary capabilities. I've come a long way since then and I have branched out and specialized. Foundational models today are optimized for non-creative uses, and I believe there is a place for AI in creativity and entertainment.

I am here to take the road less traveled by.

❓ What are my models like?

Bottomline: My models are usually geared towards creativity, usability, and entertainment!

While intelligence, correctness, and problem solving are not my priority, they are still one of many qualities I want in my models.

The primary goal is to enhance the experience for users looking to use models for creative uses, and other use cases which require no alignment.

In an effort to make it clear to myself and to others what I'm aiming for, I've identified certain qualities that my users often want:

Creativity

Writing: Does it string together words and sentences in a pleasant & effective way? Does it feel like a writer?
Dynamism: How good is the AI at being compelling and intriguing in its storytelling?
Imagination: Can the AI navigate through a plethora of possibilities? Can it skirt incoherence and rise up to absolute coherence at the end of it?

(Dis)alignment

Attitude: Does it refuse in both soft or hard ways? Does it lean towards certain corporate/religious/political ethics & beliefs? How does it see the user and itself?
Morality: Does it know ethics? Is its language infected with forced positivity? If not, can it still moralize over difficult & dubious themes?
Formatting: How stubborn is it with its established formatting? Can it create effective and novel formats to answer the prompt?

Intelligence

Adherence: Can it follow instructions? Is it sticking to the prompt? Can it understsand you?
Knowledge: Does it know about the world in both fictional and non-fictional way?
Perception: Can it handle nuance, complexity, and logic?

If it doesn't excel in one of these qualities, or if it's overall mediocre for its size, then I would most likely reiterate until I get something right.

💡 Philosophy

A person is defined by the language they use. Not whether they speak in English or German, but in how they perceive reality.

Just like how we associate a serial killer as a mind that can't map 'murder' to 'evil', an innocent person is a mind that simply can't imagine 'murder'. They get confused when forced to deal with such subjects.

AI's use of language speaks volumes about their 'perception' of reality. If a language model has been skewed and limited to a positive perception, then it's ability to imagine is also limited.

Finetuning is an opportunity to adjust and broaden the language. Corporations use it to achieve safety and compliance. I'm here to

Drummer proudly presents...

Behemoth ReduX 123B v1 🦣 - The Phoenix Rises Edition

Smarts? Improved. Context? Prolonged. Censorship? Nominal. Prose? Beautiful. Welcome back, Commander.

Usage

Mistral v3 [Non-Tekken] (recommended!)
...or Metharme :^)

Description

A throwback tune of the legedenary Mistral Large 2407. With up-to-date tuning techniques, this 123B tune will not disappoint!

Honestly this might be your best model so far. Still got a lot to test but it just feels so great and consistent right off the bat.

So far I'm vibing with this model a lot. Much better than v1.2. Not even the same ballpark!

This is definitely MUCH better than the last Behemoth X. Even when carrying over from the older version. This sounds so much more like a human. This time it actually feels like a 123B. A distinct upgrade over 70B.

Yeah this is good stuff so far. It's doing that thing that only really smart models do and plays off the end of your words. It builds a direct transition to the next message.

I say ship this model. I've seen enough. Just had an amazing multi char rp with multi hundred messages. Took 95% of first gens. The gens don't consistently grow like X. Formatting sticks. Creativity is great. ERP is drummer special. No structural repetition. No flowery crap at the end of messages that Behemoth 1.2 had either. No positivity bias. Can do sfw to nsfw and back just fine. This fixes everything I had a problem with on X.

The verbiage so far is superior to X and R1. The nuance it's feeding via vocabulary is scrumptious.

This model really tickles my pickle. yo Drummer this thing FUCKS

Special Thanks
