Random thing, I did not get a notification for this comment, I stumbled upon it. This happens all the time, and it makes me wonder how many replies I miss...

I don't run A3B specifically, but for Qwen3 32B Instruct I put something like "vary your prose; avoid repetitive vocabulary and sentence structure" in the system prompt, run at least 0.5 DRY, and maybe some dynamic sampler like mirostat if supported. Too much regular rep penalty makes it dumb, unfortunately.

But I have much better luck with base model derived models. Look up the finetunes you tried, and see if they were trained from A3B instruct or base. Qwen3 Instruct is pretty overtuned.

Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
