Note Ideal for: Reinforcing character traits/personality, Handling multiple details in an input, Complex scenarios This one is newer and quite impressive with its reasoning capabilities. If you ever find characters drifting from their established character sheet - swapping this in will whip them back in line. May struggle with long-term progression and transitions (loves to start drama and complex dialogues). Check out my modified template for it in my SillyTavern files.

Note Ideal for: Stability, Story starts, Plot progression, Group chats Good, solid model that performs well at nearly everything. Really good at less popular writing formats (if you get annoyed by markup and asterisks, this one adapts pretty quickly). It's not bad at ERP/Mature stuff either. However, there must've been some heavy YA fanfics in its dataset because more than once it hallucinated with their 30-year-old character's "parents suddenly coming home unannounced"

Note Ideal for: Erotic and mature roleplay, Extending stories, Precise prompts This one is a little older but I have still yet to find one that can surpass it in NSFW creativity - it never gets stuck in minima. It adheres to CFG pretty reasonably, and is pretty thorough with its summarizer inputs. It may require finessing when cold booting an RP Chat with no prior dialogue. I usually swap it in on sessions that have had at least over ten messages in the history.
