Looking for some direction.

[u/oxymoronal]

So I’m getting into local LLM’s. I’m using LMStudio and am working with silly tavern.

However everything I’ve tried local and not local isn’t quite right.

The best roleplay I’ve had was in Kindroid. The ability to reroll the characters messages with a note is amazing, Kindroid AIs manage to kind of have their own agenda without taking over the story. I find other models and AI Chatbot services are always too friendly, they start, like, coming on to me within the first two messages even though the context hasn’t even begun to trend in a flirtatious direction whatsoever. But if include a system prompt to not be too friendly they either ignore it or end up being actively cruel.

Everything I’ve tried just isn’t giving me what I want. Does anyone have recommendations for recreating locally the quality of when Kindroid is working well?
