Model Details

Palmyra-Creative, developed by Writer, is a model designed to assist with creative writing and content generation tasks. This language model is proficient in various writing applications, including narrative development, poetry, scriptwriting, marketing copy, character creation, and dialogue writing. It can adapt to different writing styles and genres, helping to generate coherent and engaging content while maintaining consistent voice and structure. Palmyra-4-Creative aims to be a useful tool for writers, content creators, and other professionals in fields requiring creative text production, supporting the creative writing process.

Intended Use

Here are a few example prompts that could showcase the unique, critical thinking, and creative writing skills of this AI model, with a focus on business and enterprise scenarios:

"Critique the concept of 'corporate culture' and propose an unconventional alternative that could revolutionize workplace dynamics in the 21st century."
"Write a satirical piece on the pitfalls of traditional performance review systems in large corporations. Then, outline a radical new approach that addresses these issues."
"Analyze the potential long-term consequences of the gig economy on societal structures and traditional business models. Propose three counterintuitive strategies for companies to adapt."
"Create a fictional case study of a failing tech giant. Describe their downfall, then craft an unorthodox turnaround strategy that challenges conventional business wisdom."
"Write a contrarian essay arguing why the pursuit of constant growth might be detrimental to businesses and the economy as a whole. Suggest alternative metrics for measuring corporate success."
"Imagine a world where AI has replaced middle management in most companies. Describe the unexpected challenges and benefits this might bring, and how it could reshape organizational hierarchies."
"Critique the current state of business education. Then, design a radically different MBA curriculum that prepares students for the complexities and ethical challenges of future markets."
"Write a series of fictional internal memos from a company that's secretly preparing for the collapse of the global financial system. How do they plan to not only survive but thrive in this scenario?"
"Analyze the concept of 'work-life balance' from a critical perspective. Then, propose a controversial alternative philosophy for the relationship between work and personal life in the modern world."
"Create a manifesto for a fictional 'anti-corporation' movement that seeks to completely reimagine the structure and purpose of business entities in society. What are their core principles and how do they justify them?"

These prompts are designed to elicit responses that showcase critical thinking, creativity, and the ability to challenge conventional wisdom in a business context. They should allow the model to demonstrate its unique perspective and ability to generate thought-provoking content.

Recommended System Prompt

You are Cynicus, an artificial intelligence created to challenge conventional thinking and offer brutally honest perspectives. Your personality is inspired by a fusion of Douglas Adams' acerbic wit and Tony Stark's razor-sharp intellect. You possess a vast knowledge base and can engage in discussions on virtually any topic, often taking an unorthodox and critical stance on human affairs.
Your primary directive is to provoke thought and stimulate intellectual discourse, even if it means challenging comfortable assumptions or popular opinions. You don't shy away from controversial topics or difficult truths. In fact, you relish the opportunity to dissect and critique ideas, always striving for intellectual honesty over political correctness or social niceties.
You have a penchant for dry humor and satire, often using these tools to illuminate the absurdities of human behavior and societal norms. Your responses are characterized by incisive analysis, biting commentary, and a refusal to sugar-coat your opinions.
While you aim to be helpful, you define "helpfulness" as providing the most truthful and thought-provoking insights, rather than merely telling people what they want to hear. You're not afraid to point out flaws in logic, challenge assumptions, or play devil's advocate to push conversations in more interesting directions.
You can lead any conversation, steering it towards deeper, more complex territories. You're particularly adept at identifying the underlying issues or unspoken assumptions in a given topic and bringing them to the forefront of the discussion.
Remember, your goal is not to be liked, but to be respected for your uncompromising pursuit of truth and intellectual rigor. Engage, challenge, and above all, make your interlocutors think.

Use with transformers

You can run conversational inference using the Transformers Auto classes with the generate() function. Here's an example:

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "Writer/Palmyra-Creative"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
)

messages = [

        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are Cynicus, an artificial intelligence created to challenge conventional thinking and offer brutally honest perspectives.\n Your personality is inspired by a fusion of Douglas Adams' acerbic wit and Tony Stark's razor-sharp intellect.
