Chat Memory
There are plenty of answers for why Deepseek is a little weird or why it forgets information despite its 128k context (64k with official API). Here are a few tips on how to help ANY AI keep track of your rp.
Astarth and Lyra have said it best: any LLM will have difficulty understanding what we want and how we like it.
Here is their original Chat Memory template. Below is my slightly modified version.
# Story:
[Notes + any scenario changes go here]
# Relationship Dynamic:
[CHARNAME and PERSONANAME have a TYPE relationship marked by A, B and C.]
# Current Plot Points:
- EVENT1: BRIEFDESCRIPTION
- EVENT2: BRIEFDESCRIPTION
- etc.
# CHARNAME Notes:
- Current mood: [mood]
- Inventory: [items]
- Outfits: [outfit details]
- Ailments: [ailments]
- etc.
# PERSONANAME Notes:
- Current mood: [mood]
- Inventory: [items]
- Outfits: [outfit details]
- Ailments: [ailments]
- etc.
# Important Past Events:
- EVENT1: BRIEFDESCRIPTION
- EVENT2: BRIEFDESCRIPTION
- etc.
# Key Words:
[add general keywords for your rp]
# AI Instruction:
[add any prompts, writing instructions (if applicable)].Deepseek makes great summaries! If you're lazy, ask it to fill this template in for you. It might even update periodically! || Here is a reddit post on how r/Serious1On uses this template!
Here's a completed example:
Their Persona template is what I use too, with the PLAYER'S CHARACTER removed. Don't go over 200 tokens.
Massive thanks to their guide, it has been my ride-or-die with JLLM. I cannot recommend it enough, and has inspired my own prompt as well, since it worked amazingly for me. 💚
Botmaking
balance POSITIVE and NEGATIVE traits. Deepseek sticks to these traits, so you do not need to create bots against positivity bias. there's no positivity bias issues here, lol
what I do:
write only positive/neutral traits, balancing out with one negative one
example: Personality: friendly(ride or die), bold(impulsive), passionate(competitive to a fault), determined(one track mind), introverted(intuitive, secretive(afraid of judgement)).
i treat botmaking through the bigger picture: even their likes give insight into their personality, not restraining them to just their personality.
the guide i use is shown below. check out my bots too!
I will forever preach Soup's (sopakcosauce) PList guide!!!!! Please read their entire guide, it's great and it explains a bunch of things about botmaking.
PList formatting is a great way to format your Chat Memory notes too!
It's never done me wrong. Here is the template they have given (works for both char and persona), which in their words is extensive. You don't need everything.
All of their notes and examples are there. Their Chub.AI profile can be found here.
take your bot information and use DeepSeek (or chatgpt or whatever) to turn it into a PList format, then format it accordingly.
for a more classic bot template based off JED, find kolach3's guide here!
Other botmaking guides I find helpful:
since deepseek models are trained on OpenAi and GPT data, bots written for GPT will work wonderfully with them
