Spellbound Jamba Mini: Creative output over long contexts

Main Goals

The main goals of the base model choice and post-trained regime are

• Strong steerability
• Coherence over long context lengths
• Flexible writing styles
• Advanced formatting that allows identifying individual speakers

There was also a secondary training objective: to teach the model to understand and produce directives in XML tags.

• <${characterName}Description>: A definition of a character defined as a markdown list of details. For example:
  • Name: Character Name
  • Personality: Character Personality
  • Speaker ID: 32AN4R (see <quote> tag below)
  • ...
• <writingInstructions>: A block of markdown formatted instructions representing what should happen in the story.
• <pastStory>: A block containing the preceeding events to the story being written

Output can optionally include the following tags:

• <quote speaker="{speakerId}">: When a character is defined with a speaker ID, the model will output the speech surrounded by <quote speaker="{speakerId}"> and </quote>. The model learns to keep speech in character this way, and it allows for identifying different speakers for rendering and text-to-speech purposes
• <action>: Represents an action taken by a character
• <sound>: Represents a sound made in the story

Instructing the model to produce these tags is optional, but the model should produce best possible output if the frontend being used can parse/ignore these
