There are thousands on hugging face but if you look at their leaderboards for all the metrics, almost all of them are garbage. A small number really stand out.

chronos-hermes-13b is probably one of the most niche ones that i know about, seems pretty good at detailed roleplaying and storywriting (from others' anecdotes and also my own testing)

we've been looking at at a lot of custom models for https://faraday.dev (shameless plug)

There's already some interesting fine tuned llama2 models:

- https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Redmond-Puffin-13B - https://huggingface.co/Tap-M/Luna-AI-Llama2-Uncensored

i don't like redmond-puffin because it makes the mistake of baking "human" into the training data, which is quite difficult to avoid as it's a pretty common practice... and unfortunately it looks like luna-ai-llama2-uncensored bakes "assistant" into the training data!

so both those models are probably not suitable for simulating interactions between non-human, non-AI entities... the chronos and hermes models only do input/instruction which are incredibly generic and you can just eschew the format altogether, and it follows chats correctly with no bias towards human/user/assistant.

that app looks very interesting though, reminds me of something that we were planning to make, but gave up because winui xaml is too cursed
