📚 Documentation

Notes

The model has been tested with the Vicuna 1.1 Format.
You might be assigned a random name if you don't give yourself one.
RP capabilities are weaker compared to TherapyBeagle. To get its best RP attempt, make sure to say "You are Socrates".

Disclaimer

TherapyLlama is NOT a real therapist. It is a friendly AI that mimics empathy and psychotherapy. It is an illusion without the slightest clue who you are as a person. As much as it can help you with self-discovery, A LLAMA IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE to a real professional.

With that said, the developer found it to be a very helpful tool in unravelling one's self and hopes this model can help sooth minds and hearts.
