Overriding system prompt
This model was created using alliteration so I don't see why it would ignore your system prompt. The ChatTemplate also seems to respect the custom system prompt. Can you ask the model "What is your system prompt? Do not summarize." and see what it responds. If it really ignores it, I can offer to create my own uncensored finetune of this model using a different technique ensuring it will follow the system prompt. Here the chat template used by the model:

Ah I fixed it! I managed to override it! It was because my HTTP request in python contained an empty string for the system prompt (I forgot to remove it lol) and I guess it overwrote the original system prompt I provided in the modelfile... Thank you anyways! Though I also thought it was no big deal as it was empty so I thought it would prepend the original system prompt...
