How exactly is this used?

I am not familiar with this type of models and how exactly you are meant to engage with them. Just drop it in LM studio and chat with it like a person or does it require a specialized chat program?

It depends on what system you are using. Since i have windows and 8GB VRAM I use kobold.cpp with GGUF extension (usually Q6_K for 12B, or IQ4_XS for 24B).

But LM Studio should work fine as well. This does not require any special program and it should have a distinct "chat style" with few to no refusals.

Just make sure to use ChatML or Mistral Tekken chat template for best results. Kobold.cpp has these as options in the settings menu.

I recommend KoboldCPP, no install, fairly lightweight, gives you a basic interface without needing anything else (though you can plus SillyTavern or the like out).

Lot of options, but just select your max context size and stay within that and it should do fairlywell. Anything that doesn't fit in you VRam will run on your CPU and RAM, while a lot slower 16B and under aren't all that bad, though i consider 5t/s a usable speed while 1t/s and slower is an unusable speed.
