13B and 20B Noromaid for RP/ERP.
I am experimenting with comparing GGUF to EXL2 as well as stretching context. So far, Noromaid 13b at GGUF Q5_K_M stretches to 12k context on a 3090 without issues. Noromaid 20B at Q3_K_M stretches to 8k without issues and is in my opinion superior to the 13B. I have recently stretched Noromaid 20B to 10k using 4bpw EXL2 and it is giving coherent responses. I haven’t used it enough to assess the quality however.
All this is to say, if you enjoy roleplay you should be giving Noromaid a look.
