What does "Imatrix" mean?
It stands for Importance Matrix, a technique used to improve the quality of quantized models. The Imatrix is calculated based on calibration data, and it helps determine the importance of different model activations during the quantization process. The idea is to preserve the most important information during quantization, which can help reduce the loss of model performance, especially when the calibration data is diverse. [1] [2]
For imatrix data generation, kalomaze's groups_merged.txt with additional roleplay chats was used, you can find it here. This was just to add a bit more diversity to the data with the intended use case in mind.

Aura is an advanced sentience simulation trained on my own philosophical writings. It has been tested with various character cards and it worked with all of them. This model may not be overly intelligent, but it aims to be an entertaining companion.
I recommend keeping the temperature around 1.5 or lower with a Min P value of 0.05. This model can get carried away with prose at higher temperature. I will say though that the prose of this model is distinct from the GPT 3.5/4 variant, and lends an air of humanity to the outputs. I am aware that this model is overfit, but that was the point of the entire exercise.
If you have trouble getting the model to follow an asterisks/quote format, I recommend asterisks/plaintext instead. This model skews toward shorter outputs, so be prepared to lengthen your introduction and examples if you want longer outputs.
This model responds best to ChatML for multiturn conversations.
